The great thing about the BC Carbon Tax is that it's revenue neutral in that it goes to tax cuts for citizens, not into the void of general revenue of the province. This means that people that do more to protect the environment pay less and save more money due to being able to keep more of their tax cut.


Harper is totally 100% wrong on this.

 

[NetMapel]

FIGHT FIGHT FIGHT

 

[Tiktaalik]

Because the Liberals got destroyed for proposing it, so now everyone's spooked from trying it again, unfortunately.

Yep!

 

[MMarston]

SOMEBODY HIT SOMEBODY

 

[lamaroo]

I like Mulcair's tenacity so far.

Didn't Clark absolutely wreck Dix though?

 

[matthewwhatever]

This whole debate is a disaster so far. No flow, everyone gets cut off before they can finish their points, and the moderator is injecting himself too much.

Didn't Clark absolutely wreck Dix though?

I didn't play super close attention to the BC election -- who was running on carbon taxes there?

"With friends like Stephen Harper, Alberta doesn't need any enemy" - Trudeau

Yeah this got messy way faster than the Macleans one

I may keep harping on this, but having a debate focused only on the subject of the economy is just dumb.

It's a jungle and the moderator is annoying. Whenever he interrupts someone, I can't understand what they're saying. The Maclean one was so much better.

 

[ryan-ts]

Moderator is getting pushed around.

 

[Kinitari]

Is it just me or is Muclair interrupting non-stop?

 

[TheStruggler]

did harper just say "stop rough housing me"

It was more to the point that the implementation didn't render the party brand as toxic.

 

[MMarston]

Moderator is getting pushed around.

Doesn't help that he tries to push himself in as well

 

[maharg]

This moderator is awful. And he needs mic muting powers.

 

[Mr.Mike]

The biggest loser of this debate is the moderator.

 

[lamaroo]

Trudeau repeating his talking points.

 

[NetMapel]

I'm honestly not hearing much about actual policies from each party leaders about what they'll actually do. Rather, they're focusing on why the others suck.

 

[firehawk12]

Elizabeth May not invited?

 

[dragonfart28]

I wish Trudeau didn't come off as such a flake.

 

[CreeperBlocks]

Elizabeth May not invited?

Nope.

 

[-Pyromaniac-]

Not not at all like Harper ^_^

 

[Walpurgis]

Elizabeth May not invited?

They're scared of her truth bombs.

 

[NetMapel]

Ok at least Trudeau is talking about how he wants to focus on infrastructure investment.

 

[Silexx]

Folks, why are we putting ourselves through this. Don't we know that there's a Blue Jays game on?

 

[Tiktaalik]

Yep Harper is going to invest in infrastructure too. Everyone loves infrastructure. It's not a left wing or right wing issue. It's pork barrel politics and great photo ops.

 

[CreeperBlocks]

I still think Harper will win again. I'm not Conservative but that's my greatest fear.

 

[MMarston]

Trudeau is totally trying to gun for the emotional vote in this one

 

[Walpurgis]

Folks, why are we putting ourselves through this. Don't we know that there's a Blue Jays game on?

What sport is that?

 

[matthewwhatever]

Folks, why are we putting ourselves through this. Don't we know that there's a Blue Jays game on?

I can't look away. I was obsessed with politics even before I became with baseball. I was a very nerdy 7-year-old.

It's where his strength lies -- he's better at emotional appeals than Harper or Mulcair.


Awesome line from Trudeau -- "If this isn't the time to invest, what would be?"

 

[Parch]

I wish Trudeau didn't come off as such a flake.

He's trying waaay too hard to sound good. just answer the question and avoid the fluff.

 

[Kifimbo]

Debates are overrated. At this point, they only exist because the media needs them.

 

[Tiktaalik]

I think Trudeau is doing a great job of justifying why it's a good time to borrow to invest right now.

He's solid on this topic.

 

[NetMapel]

Trudeau needs to calm down... he seems very aggressive about infrastructure investment.

 

[Expansion Pack]

Mulcair being sassy. I like it.

 

[ryan-ts]

Folks, why are we putting ourselves through this. Don't we know that there's a Blue Jays game on?

EE made it three Blue Jays with 100 rbi this year.

 

[Stage On]

I wish someone would say something like "If Running a defecit is so bad Mr. Harper why did you do just that for nine years?"

 

[dragonfart28]

Trudeau: 'Mr. Mulcair doesn't understand that long-term starts now.'

Cannot take the stupid.

 

[-Pyromaniac-]

Trudeau is winning me over bros. I'm sorry but he just is. I don't even know what Mulcair's plan is. Harper's plan is no plan. Sooooooo. This is from someone that doesn't hardcore follow canadian politics.

 

[firehawk12]

What is more heartbreaking - a Conservative minority, or the Jays losing in the first round.

Cliff Pennington scored a Home Run

CLIFF PENNINGTON

Well Jays, with the exception of last month, haven't been relevant in ages sooooooo

 

[matthewwhatever]

I'm going to have to watch Jays in 30 tonight. This sounds more unbelievable than anything Mulcair is saying. (Topical!)

The Liberals are actually the only party that hasn't posted any numbers yet.

 

[Walpurgis]

I can't take this ass seriously on immigration. Just shut up, Harper.

 

[Silexx]

Okay, I need some Andrew Coyne snark to make this palatable.

Just don’t know how well Trudeau’s perpetual righteous wrath is playing.

Mulcair: if you can’t sit still, Justin, we’ll just keep everyone after class. I’m paraphrasing.

Mulcair and Trudeau battling over whose tax increase is more ill-advised.

Yeah, that's the stuff.

 

[Boogie]

Trudeau needs to calm down... he seems very aggressive about infrastructure investment.

I disagree, I like aggressive Trudeau much more than Sir-Hugs-a-lot Trudeau.

 

[matthewwhatever]

Actually they have, but why let facts get in the way of your talking points?

I disagree, I like aggressive Trudeau much more than Sir-Hugs-a-lot Trudeau.

Yeah, he's not great in House debates, but when he can be a little more spontaneous, it suits him better.
