Due to the last minute candidate in my riding, someone I felt was, absolutely, ill-equipped for this election, I felt it was vital to watch the debate. I was on the fence, it was either the Liberals or the B.Q. (due to the highest respect I have for our current M.P, a BQ member). I do resent the rush job for the Liberal candidate the L.P.C. seems to have done. I still resent it and I’m pretty angry but right now, there is too much at stake and after listening to the debate? There’s no question, Liberal it will be.
Carney spoke well, explained positions and answered the questions clearly. He remained dignified and sincere, I was impressed with his answers and his overall demeanor. I can’t lie, I was praying for him to tell Poilievre to suck an egg…
Blanchet? I was sorely disappointed, he came off as a one-trick-pony with a tenuous grasp on the current political/socio-economic threat from the south. Yes, Yves-François – we all get it, as a Québeçoise, I fully understand the importance of protecting French and Québec culture however, it is time to remove your blinders and that elitist attitude you seem to possess. We are under attack from the pseudo-dictator to our south. Serious attack. It was time for speaking out for unity against a common enemy and he failed…miserably. I do owe him a “Merci” for helping me decide what to do on the 28th. He is not qualified to represent Québec in a crisis situation.
Jagmeet Singh…wow, that was a colossal failure. He came off as whiny and unable to grasp the whole platform. He had talking points but little, if not nothing, in the way of solutions. I could not see him in negotiations with you-know-who. He was a non-starter for me anyway. While I am not, a Liberal as a rule, the way he turned on an agreement with the Liberal party made me seriously question his ethics.
P.P – nothing but word salad. The same talking points, lots of nouns, verbs, adjectives and adverbs but he proposed nothing. There was a lot of garbage about the Liberals dividing Canadians when, in fact, he aided the division on more than one occasion, was seen chummy with alt-right wingnuts, the Klown Konvoy and those are things, many Canadians, myself included, will never forget. His proposed use of the Notwithstanding Clause should fill everyone with horror. This whole ensuring mass murderers stay in jail is a scam, a lie, bullshit. It is nothing more than a test run; if it works, then abortion will be outlawed, women and healthcare professionals will be under threat. Best believe gay rights will be next, the LGBTQ2S communities will be decimated.
So, I guess Liberal it will be. I will not live in a country governed by a man who caters to misogynists, homophobes, anti-immigration, pseudo-Nazi trailer trash.
