In their own words: Justin Trudeau shines in french-language leaders’ debate

2019 French-language Leaders’ Debate

Once again, Liberal Leader Justin Trudeau clearly demonstrated the choice Canadians have to make on October 21: keep moving forward with the progress achieved over the past four years, or go back to the politics of the Harper years. Here is what some people are saying about tonight’s debate:

Quotations are included in their original language

« L’attaque de Justin Trudeau fait mouche : « Vous étiez tous les deux avec Harper », dit-il à Bernier et Scheer qui s’inquiètent du déficit. Couper sous Harper « n’a pas livré une croissance économique », martèle-t-il. » – Antoine Robitaille (Journal de Québec), Twitter, 10 octobre, 2019

“Scheer says he’ll fight climate change in a global context. Translation: he’ll blame China and India.” – Peter F. Jackson, Journalist, Twitter, October 10, 2019

“Scheer is again lying about the output-based pricing system.” – Dale Smith, Twitter, October 10, 2019

“Singh deploying his false talking points about companies buying limos and jets.” – Dale Smith, Twitter, October 10, 2019

“Bernier, Trudeau, Scheer on economy. Trudeau dominating.” – Stephen Maher (Maclean’s) Twitter, October 10, 2019

“Scheer says he’s proposed a plan to balance the budget in five years. Trudeau: ‘We haven’t seen it. We haven’t seen it.’ (He’s right on that. Scheer has released costings for individual promises, but tomorrow releases the full platform.)” – Tonda MacCharles (Toronto Star), Twitter, October 10, 2019

“So, May touts of her platform’s @IFSD_IFPD pass. The Greens passed on realistic economic assumptions and transparency. They failed on fiscal management.” – John Geddes (Maclean’s), Twitter, October 10, 2019

“The poverty rate in Canada has fallen to unprecedented lows under the @liberal_party government. @StatCan_eng has said this in significant part is due to policy changes introduced by the government.” – Miles Corak (The Graduate Center, City University of New York), Twitter, October 10, 2019

“Now Bloc is on the spot for supporting a Quebec LNG pipeline but not Alberta pipelines. He is vulnerable on this file as former environment minister.” – Evan Solomon (CTV), Twitter, October 10, 2019

« Trudeau : Rappelle les coupes de Doug Ford aux franco-ontariens et avertir que les Conservateurs vont le continuer. Vante son bilan en langues officielles au cours des 4 dernières années. » – Christopher G. Nardi (Journal de Montréal), Twitter, 10 octobre, 2019

“Singh has not punched through as he did before. Scheer also has not really landed a heavy blow.” – Evan Solomon (CTV), Twitter, October 10, 2019

“Trudeau seems to have some fire in his belly tonight.” – Stephen Maher (Maclean’s), Twitter, October 10, 2019

“@theJagmeetSingh asked why NDP opposes every trade agreement. Asked if he is a protectionist. Singh repeats his talking points about working for you and why [NAFTA] is bad but doesn’t answer question.” – Evan Solomon (CTV), Twitter, October 10, 2019

“So, my bet is Trudeau will be happy with debate.” – Evan Solomon (CTV), Twitter, October 10, 2019
