No, don't shy away from it! Take a stand on this issue.

I don't even know how to rank that. Justin came out swinging and handled that as best as he could, but the optics on that will definitely bite Justin in the ass by the end of the week, you can tell because Harper came out and specifically phrased his question to Justin in a way that will allow them the perfect soundbite in an attack ad.

I'm happy he called out Harper, but there is no way this is going to go well for him

The translation keeps cutting out, and my french sucks. :-/

All the Liberals need to do is to screencap the last part where he gestures to Harper and saying 'The Politics of Fear'.

 

[lupinko]

Also the "Fair Voting Act", which prohibits Elections Canada from telling people that hey we have an election coming up!

I swear I hate the Harper Cons.

And this is coming from me who as a kid liked the Charest PC, Manning Reform and Day Alliance.

I'm surprised Trudeau hasn't said something like "We take away citizenship for terrorism now...what is next? Murder? Theft? Tax fraud? Political dessent? We can't allow a political government to determine who is a Canadian and who is not."

From this link? http://www.cpac.ca/en/vote2015/# cause it's working fine for me, just that I don't like the voice of the translator

 

[Hieberrr]

Anyone got a link to an alt stream?

 

[Firestorm]

I'm surprised Trudeau hasn't said something like "We take away citizenship for terrorism now...what is next? Murder? Theft? Tax fraud? Political dessent? We can't allow a political government to determine who is a Canadian and who is not."

Yeah. This could have worked better. The ability to remove my citizenship just because my parents immigrated here is incredibly scary to me.

 

[Kinitari]

Trudeau is 100% right, about fucking time.

YES, he called out politics of fear.

timestamp on the cpac video? Just coming into the debate, wanna see whatever happened!

If there is one thing that this election reminded me, is that I definitely need to go relearn french... good thing Duolingo just released their app for Windows

No, I'm watching on an actual teevee. CHCH feed.

 

[Kinitari]

Did anyone ever actually say 'big sled no dog' or did Trudeau make that up? If real, they got the slang game on lock up on the arctic.

 

[gutter_trash]

Tom needs to see a chiropracter

 

[Sakura]

Is there a youtube link?

 

[Walpurgis]

Yeah that is still dog-whistle hate politics that I don't approve of even though I am damn opposed to the Harper Government.

At this point, I would accept it for the greater good.

 

[killer rin]

Is there a youtube link?

Don't think so, I think its just the Munk website and Cpac

 

[Kinitari]

I've only been watching for a few minutes, but it seems like.... Trudeau and Mulclair are not at each other's throats this time?

 

[lupinko]

At this point, I would accept it for the greater good.

Yeah that's just as bad and solves nothing.

 

[Apathy]

Whoah, the change of the translator for cpac, odd hearing an australian accent.

 

[CitizenVectron]

The crowd is quite partisan it seems. The moderator asked what Trudeau would do as Prime Minister and a large number of the audience started to laugh.

 

[Vamphuntr]

Trudeau is much stronger tonight. Harper is sitting in the back and let them fight as usual and Mulcair is kind of terrible so far. This is a much interesting debate so far than the last one but I guess very few people are watching this one.

Next big one is on TVA friday.

 

[Silexx]

Trudeau was halfway there to get a good 'Harper speaks loudly and carries a small stick' soundbite.

 

[Boogie]

Topic is Putin, Mulcair pivots to C51? Whaa

 

[Parch]

C51. Never forget.

 

[Cmerrill]

Every time Harper is done speaking he gets a round of applause, is this debate in Alberta?

 

[Silexx]

C51. Never forget.

Like I said, Muclair is going to try and hammer home the issue that got them in the lead originally.

 

[_DrMario_]

Are we watching the same debate? I'm 45 min in the debate and Trudeau keeps getting a ton of applause.

 

[Sakura]

Thanks, I like Youtube better because I can view what I missed but oh well.

 

[Hieberrr]

God damn, Mulcair is a savage up there.

 

[killer rin]

Thanks, I like Youtube better because I can view what I missed but oh well.

Well, the Munk website is using LiveStream so you can rewind

 

[gutter_trash]

did Mulcair just tell Alberta that Trudeau loves oil as much as Harper?

 

[Kinitari]

C51. Never forget.

No way I can. I get that it's an important issue, but Mulcair brings it up every chance he gets, even if it makes absolutely no sense. One debate he got asked a tax question and he brought it up. He didn't even tie it into taxes, he was just like "I want to make sure I handle taxes smart, unlike Trudeau, who also didn't handle bill c51 very smartly!". I paraphrase, but like dude... pick your moments.

edit: Trudeau did a lot of this too with taxing the 1%, it was weird when he just brought it up at seemingly random moments to answer only mildly related questions.

 

[Windam]

The looks Harper just gave Trudeau gave me the chills. Serial-killer smile vibes.

 

[Silexx]

did Mulcair just tell Alberta that Trudeau loves oil as much as Harper?

Pretty sure that's not going to make the 'Trudeau' name suddenly palatable in that province after decades of it being mud. lol

 

[Walpurgis]

Like I said, Muclair is going to try and hammer home the issue that got them in the lead originally.

It wasn't that issue that got me to swoon. It was his strong stance against everything Harper and his utter fury (a fury that I shared). I also respected that he was telling it like it was despite polls against him. While, that issue definitely separated the boy from the man but it was more of the promise of hope that got me. I remember thinking, this is a guy who can fix everything that Harper has ruined these past 9 years. This is a guy who will get shit done. I don't really think that anymore. The NDP bores me now and I've been feeling pretty apathetic these past few weeks.

 

[Vamphuntr]

It would be so much better if they could act as adults and explain that they are ideologically against it but they need the money associated with it. Mulcair likes it as much as the other two. It's kind of late to backpedal.

 

[Windam]

Crowd laughing at Harper? :|

edit: Of course. ISIS. Of course.

 

[Apathy]

Yeah this audience is odd. It's definitely not neutral

 

[Silexx]

Crowd laughing at Harper? :|

I don't think even the most ardent CPC supporters can keep a straight face at the suggestion that Harper and Obama are best buds.

 

[Boogie]

Yeah this audience is odd. It's definitely not neutral

I think it's pretty evenly split, to be honest.

 

[gutter_trash]

Harper really wants to win the riding of Mont Royal really badly

 

[killer rin]

Yeah this audience is odd. It's definitely not neutral

Well, looking at the Munk Polls page (http://poll.munkdebates.com/) Harper is always trailing by a wide margin... so atleast the Online crowd is biased

 

[Walpurgis]

Can the candidates hear or see the audience? If so, that would be really stupid.

 

[PumpkinSpice]

Oh man is he really going to take credit for the work of the provinces, the very same provinces whose policies he opposed?

 

[killer rin]

Can the candidates hear or see the audience? If so, that would be really stupid.

Yeah. I remember on the wide shot back during the beginning that they are currently standing on a stage and the ticket holders fill the view in front of them

 

[Windam]

Can the candidates hear or see the audience? If so, that would be really stupid.

Yeah. When the crowd laughed at Harper saying Canada and the US are bestest buds, Trudeau commented "See, they don't believe you!".

 

[Silexx]

HAhaha Trudeau finally accuses Harper of starting to believe his own BS.

 

[lupinko]

The US and Canada were best buds, when it was Clinton-Chretien.

And I guess Dubbya-Harper.

 

[killer rin]

Please, will someone rebut Harper with "Its better to make hard targets and miss them by a third than to establish narrow targets and miss them entirely"

 

[gutter_trash]

no matter how cerebal Mulcair is, attacking Pierre Trudeau in two debates in a row will hit him in the likability scale
