I have reverted the last edit. The word that Charest used was chienne,, i.e., a female dog, or "bitch". See Radio Canada. Ground Zero 14:09, 22 Jun 2005 (UTC)
Also, I have removed the list of Cabinet ministers, which belongs, and appears, at Executive Council of Quebec. Ground Zero 14:12, 22 Jun 2005 (UTC)
Should we leave "The Honorable" in? This custom is not that common in Quebec, especially for a Premier of Quebec. Maybe because of the strong equalitarian and republican spirit in Quebec. The other articles for Premiers of Quebec do not have this title. -- Liberlogos 4 July 2005 04:31 (UTC)
Charest is The Honourable by virtue of having been a federal cabinet minister and thus is a member of the Queen's Privy Council of Canada. As for Marc's question, no, the media doesn't usually refer to politicians that way. Homey 03:32, 9 October 2005 (UTC)
Anyone have an article about the whole "John/Jean" thing? His parliament page lists him as Jean, and they usually use full names. Habsfannova 17:40, 22 March 2006 (UTC)
Deleted "The vast majority of French Quebecers are not aware that his legal name is not Jean." Cite a source on this if you want to revive it. Cory.willis 03:52, 13 May 2006 (UTC)
How many seats did the ADQ win? -- Mayfare 00:26, 21 April 2007 (UTC)
Jean Charest received the Order of Merit of Bavaria [1]. If anyone finds a goood spot to include it, go for it. Blur4760 01:10, 29 July 2007 (UTC)
I have assessed this as B class given its level of detail and organization, although it requires more referencing and in-line citations, especially since it's an article about a current politician. I have assessed this as low importance, as I do not feel that many people outside of Canada would be familiar with the subject of the article, despite the fact that he is the current premier. Cheers, CP 16:33, 15 September 2007 (UTC)
Someone that should read WP:SOAP keep s changing Mr. Charest's nationality and birthplace from being Canada to QUebec. It seems to me to be pretty clear the Mr. Charest is a Canadian citizen and was born in Quebec. Dbrodbeck ( talk) 11:13, 8 May 2008 (UTC)
I think it would be more apropriate for this page to have a more official picture as the present one could be interpreted in different ways which may not be correct for such an official subject. I would suggest this one: http://www.premier-ministre.gouv.qc.ca/premier-ministre/biographie.shtml —Preceding unsigned comment added by 24.122.36.121 ( talk) 21:22, 8 September 2010 (UTC)
Re Jean Charest#Profile. Anyone who can idenitfy User:70.29.141.16 User talk:70.29.141.16 may want to contact the Montreal Police at Info-Crime: 514 393-1133 as this spurious contributor may well be the same "clown" who hacked into the web page of Le Devoir. Peter Horn User talk 15:55, 17 August 2011 (UTC)
Is that line really pertinent? I really don't see what it is doing at the top :
Charest has joked that his political obituary has been written so many times that he has lost count.[1] — Preceding unsigned comment added by 132.203.32.45 ( talk) 17:46, 21 October 2011 (UTC)
"They did, however, refrain from raising the Provincial Sales Tax to make up for the loss of revenue caused by the decision of the federal government to reduce the Goods and Services Tax to 5%." Sorry, that is not true, provincial sales tax was definitely raised. — Preceding unsigned comment added by 66.130.78.189 ( talk) 12:45, 6 September 2012 (UTC)
I'm sure we can grab some photos from the recent event in Quebec... because this photo makes him look awful. Can we find a better photo, and change it? Wikipageedittor099 14:34, 25 March 2022 (UTC)
