Canada-election: the Key moments from the leaders' debate

Feb 16,2020 6:17 am

For the First Time , all of Canada , the main party leaders were on the stage, in what will be The Most -watched TV debate in this Federal election campaign is likely to be.

the stakes were high.

It was a crowded stage: Liberal leader Justin Trudeau , Conservative Andrew Scheer , Jagmeet Singh of the New Democratic Party (NDP), Green Party leader Elizabeth May , Maxime Bernier of the People's Party of Canada , and in Quebec - The Bloc Québécois, under the leadership of Yves-François Blanchet.

Did You lift one of them out from The Crowd ? Were there any performances are sharp enough to finally shift the opinion polls, which have been scarcely budged since the election, in mid-September? What are the topics that fireworks ignited?

Here are some of the key takeaways.

the Front-runners trade blows, but no knockout

The Conservatives and liberals were Locked In a Dead Heat for the entire campaign, so this was a chance to gain momentum before Canadians head to the polls on 21. October.

Both parties need to break the Deadlock and the two front-runners often head-to-went-to-head race, occasionally talking about each other, to The Point of incoherence.

Andrew Scheer attacked, Mr Trudeau, the just out of the Gate slamming him as a "phony" and "fraud", which it does not deserve re-elected to and continue to go after him again and again to two questions that his Achilles Heel with voters: the SNC-Lavalin affair, and the blackface scandal.

With the SNC-Lavalin, a Federal Ethics Commissioner found, the Prime Minister is attempting to improperly, to prevent influence on his former minister that the construction company is prosecuted for Corruption - a political crisis caused by Mr. Trudeau to slump in the polls earlier this Year .

Conservative leader Andrew Scheer clashes with the liberal PM, Justin Trudeau

But the Liberal leader, the elections prophecies seem to have recovered, though the old pictures of him appear in blackface in September.

And pivot on Mr. Trudeau often the Association of the Federal Conservative leader, Ontario Premier, Doug Ford , the unpopular budget cuts in the vote tried-a rich province, Mr. Scheer snapped: "You seem oddly obsessed with the provincial policy".

Mr. Trudeau proved, ready to defend himself and his Conservative political rivals, his rhetorical punching bag, forcing him to defend his stance on social issues such as abortion.

Mr. Scheer is "personally pro-life" but has said repeatedly that, if elected, his party would not to the front or support of legislation, the rules of the abortion would.

The Liberal leader also defended his record in government, including a strong economy, less poverty, and low unemployment.

Singh, challenges for the progressive vote

Canada is one of the progressive voters a wealth of opportunities in this election campaign: Mr. Trudeau, the liberals, Mr Singh NDP, Ms Can the Green, and in Quebec , Mr. Blanchet ' Block.

Mr Trudeau is repeating in the hope that the 2015 Federal election, when the progressive voters to return together to his liberals to victory.

Jagmeet Singh worked hard to position himself as a sensible third option between Mr. Trudeau and Mr. Scheer.

NDP leader Jagmeet Singh

He was often in the position to break, in the discussion of his place over to the voters, that his party "for the people, we are not in it for the rich", and to land some of the more memorable zingers of The Night .

After a heated debate between Mr. Trudeau and Mr. Scheer about their climate protection plans, he jumped up with The Line : "You don't need to choose, You Deny between Mr Delay and Lord. "

The shares for The Bloc is Mr. Blanchet were relatively night-time low on Monday.

a Few English-speaking voters in Quebec would be the light casting a ballot for his party, which only runs candidates in that province.

The Block leader is usually focused on the Central issues in Quebec , Bill 21, the controversial province of secularism law, which bars civil servants apply, in positions of authority, of the wearing of religious symbols at work.

Mr. Blanchet still have a chance to come up with an appeal to the voters in a French-speaking leaders' debate on Thursday.

climate remains a hot topic

Climate Change has become an important issue in this election campaign, and Mr Trudeau clashed with other leaders, as his government deals with the topic.

Elizabeth May , reserved their sharpest attacks on climate protection, again and again, Mr. Trudeau climate goals calls for "a commitment to failure".

she made a direct appeal to voters to cast their ballot for the Green Party , so that they could hold power in a minority situation.

party loyalty, and protesters expect The Party leader outside of The Debate venue

The Liberal leader repeatedly called on his Climate Change plan, "reasonable and feasible" - a shot on other Federal parties such as The Greens , who have goals more ambitious climate than the liberals, the " current obligations.

Since he was first elected in 2015, Mr. Trudeau is always the possibility of finding a balance between the economy and The Environment high-pitched and he has to convince the voters to do that a Liberal government is best placed to do exactly that.

But he is Under Pressure , for the purchase of a crude oil Pipeline for C$4. 5 billion ($3. 4bn; £2. 6bn) last Year - a step thought to be the three times the capacity of the controversial project.

"a Pipeline , they are not a climate leader," Ms. May said Mr. Trudeau on Monday evening.

"I have accepted the fact that I attacked You , not for buildings, pipe lines from some, and for the construction of pipelines from The Other ," he replied.

Wildcard Bernier can be heard

the People's Party of Canada leader Maxime Bernier was a late addition to The Debate line-up. Polling nationwide in the low single-digit range, he was excluded originally, before The National debate Commission reversed its decision.

He made The Most of his time On Stage , often interrupting The Other leader.

Mr. Bernier has courted controversy as a political leader, including Twitter rants against the "cult of diversity" and the young climate activist Greta Thunberg .

He is also the efforts to limit The Number of immigrants to Canada , for which he was attacked from all sides on The Debate stage.

the leader of the newly founded right-wing Federal party also pleaded for balancing Canada 's budget.

Its inclusion in The Debate , a platform was criticized by Mr Singh, said: "to him that he earn".

"It's not because I have a different view, I'm not there, actually," Mr. Bernier later, in front of journalists.
