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

And I guess Dubbya-Harper.

Reagan & Mulroney were BFF as well.

 

[PumpkinSpice]

Oh man he's doing it again with coal, taking credit for provincial work.

 

[lupinko]

Reagan & Mulroney were BFF as well.

You'd think LBJ and LBP were but that you pissed on my rug incident kinda puts the kibosh on that.

 

[matthewwhatever]

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.

I loved the peals of laughter that greeted him saying our relationship with the United States was strong.

 

[Silexx]

BTW, only reason why GHG went down in Canada is because we went into recession. So Harper may want to be cautious when taking credit for that.

 

[Hieberrr]

This is the first time that I've seen all leaders wait their turn. This moderator is running this like a well-oiled machine.

 

[killer rin]

... how did we get from environment to infrastructure

 

[mo60]

This is the first time that I've seen all leaders wait their turn. This moderator is running this like a well-oiled machine.

Trudeau hasn't waited for his turn multiple times. Mulcair only once or twice. Harper zero if I recall.

 

[Annubis]

Man, I'm getting so tired of Justin talking about spending on infrastructure.
It's like he has Tourette syndrome.

 

[Parch]

Hypocritical for the Liberals to criticize environment issues when historically they had by far the worst record.

 

[matthewwhatever]

Tommy Douglas: drink!

Btw, did you know Muclair was Minister of the Environment. In Quebec. Like, an actual Minister in Quebec. Of the Environment. Also, TOMMY DOUGLAS!

 

[SilentMatthew]

lol, dat Bob Rae dump.

his stint as Environment Minister wasnt even a full term, he got into several spats with his then boss (Premier Charest) then quit angrily

 

[Silexx]

lol, dat Bob Rae dump.

Muclair calling 'No true Scotsman' on Bob Rae is the pot calling the kettle black.

 

[matthewwhatever]

If TPP gets signed this week, I'm really curious of what -- if any -- impact it'll have on the election, especially if the dairy farmers and the auto industry get thrown under the bus.

 

[mo60]

According to that munk poll Mulcair is more interesting to listen to then Trudeau and Harper. This is really interesting.

 

[gutter_trash]

Muclair calling 'No true Scotsman' on Bob Rae is the pot calling the kettle black.

seriously, as a former Quebec Liberal MNA and Thatcherite

 

[PumpkinSpice]

It would have to completely shift the debate in the tail end, and this might end up being to Harper's benefit since his team is the only one that knows what the final deal would be ahead of time.

Slight drop in the conservatives poll numbers if they hate it. Big drop if they despise it.

 

[Walpurgis]

If it gets signed will they stop hiding it from the public and let us see its contents?

 

[Hieberrr]

Is it just me or is Mulcair coming out with a bunch of sly attacks? LOL.

 

[gutter_trash]

bulk water Tom

Well, atleast for the Auto Industry, they already don't go Conservative, so its all down to how numerous the Dairy farmers are, and where they are.

 

[Parch]

What's wrong with selling water to the U.S.?

 

[dragonfart28]

Who filled the crowd with Harper lackies?

He makes weak points and they applaud like monkeys.

 

[gutter_trash]

you cannot be serious!?

 

[mo60]

bulk water Tom

I'm starting to get annoyed by how much Trudeau keeps on bringing it up in a lot of recent debates besides the first one.

 

[matthewwhatever]

Well, atleast for the Auto Industry, they already don't go Conservative, so its all down to how numerous the Dairy farmers are, and where they are.

I don't know -- places like Oshawa and Windsor-Essex are auto ridings, and they're both Conservative at the moment.

Dairy is huge in Quebec, so it has the potential to counter whatever gains the CPC gets from the niqab issue, I'd think.

 

[lupinko]

Well Mulcair is Smokey the Bear after all.

"Only who can prevent Stephen Harper? You have selected 'you', referring to me. That is incorrect. The correct answer is you."

 

[PumpkinSpice]

What's wrong with selling water to the U.S.?

The biggest problem is that the FTA/NAFTA left the door open for bulk water sales nationwide if any province agreed to sell water to the US.

It's not really desirable since it affects the local ecosystem of whatever lakes/rivers they attempt to drain. There are also cases we've seen where bottled water exports take water from Canada during droughts with little regard for the water situation locally.

 

[dragonfart28]

Trudeau just thought he had the final word and did a really awkward about face.

 

[Tapejara]

Well Mulcair is Smokey the Bear after all.

Lmfao.

Bob Rae ‏@BobRae48 3m3 minutes ago

I didn't always agree with Pierre Trudeau but he was a great man. I can't say the same about Tom Mulcair #cdnpoli

Yeeeeouch

 

[matthewwhatever]

Bob Rae, just now on Twitter, responding to Mulcair's snide little jibe:

I didn't always agree with Pierre Trudeau but he was a great man. I can't say the same about Tom Mulcair #cdnpoli

EDIT: Beaten by Silexx!

I have to say, though, that Mulcair really gives Harper a run for his money when it comes to pettiness. (Though seeing as Mulcair is the only one of the three who's ever had to pay out damages for defamation, he may even have Harper lapped.)

 

[dragonfart28]

I think every leader actually held their own pretty well.

 

[dragonfart28]

Bob Rae, just now on Twitter, responding to Mulcair's snide little jibe:

Yea, Mulcair deftly deployed that little bomb

Same with the jab at Trudeau on pomp lol

 

[Parch]

That was more civil than the first english debate. Less raving lunatics.
I doubt anything said tonight is going to change much.

It was more civil than the French one too.

 

[killer rin]

Well, the Citizenship and terrorism remark between Justin and Harper trended on Facebook according to the Munk panel

 

[Morrigan Stark]

Best line: "I leave the pomp to you, Mr. Trudeau" xD

 

[SilentMatthew]

Well, Justins Citizenship and terrorism remark trended on Facebook

Whelp, that's that then.

 

[TheStruggler]

Well, Justins Citizenship and terrorism remark trended on Facebook according to the Munk panel

what was it

 

[Windam]

what was it

"A Canadian is a Canadian is a Canadian!"? Maybe.

 

[Buba Big Guns]

If Jack Layton was still here, he'd wreck these fools. This election would be close.

 

[matthewwhatever]

Bob Rae seems a little pissed off:

Mulcair's entire "record" on the environment was when he was a Liberal. So I guess it didn't count.

 

[mo60]

Mulcair really wants to form a strong,stable majority government on October 19th. I wonder what he is drinking.

 

[Windam]

*whisper* "I'm going to kill you when that happens!"

o_o

Wtf is that?

Okay, so it wasn't just me that heard that just now.
