Conservatives apologize after texts sent to members attacking defecting Quebec MP Alain Rayes via nationalpost
Rayes said that the three employees in his constituency office have been inundated with calls ever since the text message came out, with many constituents calling to say that they are shocked by the message itself. Rayes said he was disappointed that his association’s phone lines have been busy when they could be helping his constituents with other matters instead.
Rayes was the first MP to publicly endorse former Quebec premier Jean Charest in the leadership race and became one of his main organizers in Quebec. Charest finished a distant second in the race, behind Poilievre, and lost a majority of ridings in his home province. “I leave without bitterness and I remain driven by the deep desire to continue to serve the population.”Article content
Rayes said on Wednesday that he would not shy away from criticizing the Liberals’ decisions, especially in terms of the economy, and that it has been a priority for him in the seven years he has been an MP and the Quebec lieutenant for the party’s last two leaders.
