If you read his book he explains that he was looking to find an opponent that would inspire the lackluster Liberal Party and give them something to rally behind.
He approached Rob Anders and Peter McKay but they said no. Brazeau was a good opponent not because of his background but because he's a big guy, was super brash and partisan and had army training but the Prime Minister thought he would be beatable with his longer arm reach and stamina.
