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

He comes off a bit try hard here though

 

[dragonfart28]

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

They haven't actually costed anything.

 

[Boogie]

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


Yeah, that's the stuff.

Journalist twitter commentary of the debate is much more entertaining than the debate itself. Wells and Rosie Barton have been making me chuckle as well.

 

[pr0cs]

Trudeau is so bloody disingenuous

 

[Tapejara]

Lol @ that secret meeting stuff.

--

This debate it really pushing me towards NDP, but I'm still unsure if I want to leave the Liberal camp.

 

[NetMapel]

"Secret meeting with the media" is oxymoron at its finest, hahahaha

 

[Kifimbo]

Paraphrasing Trudeau: Canada is not doing enough of EVERYTHING.

 

[matthewwhatever]

It's a shame that Harper taking away immigrants' health care unconstitutionally isn't a bigger story. It's one of his more appalling actions.

Paraphrasing Trudeau: Canada is not doing enough of EVERYTHING.

We're really not.

Angry Tom is back!

A shot for every THATS NOT TRUE MR HARPER

That was the first time he got in some real good shots.

 

[NetMapel]

Yeahhhhhhhhhhhh no fear mongering !

A shot for every THATS NOT TRUE MR HARPER

and I'd die from alcohol poisoning !

 

[-Pyromaniac-]

Harper gang up. Drink.

 

[Tiktaalik]

Mulcair kind of holding back instead of jumping in, I think he's trying to give the sense that he's rising above all this petty shit.

 

[matthewwhatever]

Angry Tom is back!

That brief flash of anger was the best he's sounded this whole campaign.

 

[MMarston]

Mulcair kind of holding back instead of jumping in, I think he's trying to give the sense that he's rising above all this petty shit.

It's working for me, though I prefer him talking.

 

[Tiktaalik]

Ohhhh man get ready for no one to say anything that would go against an ever increasing rise in housing.

 

[Silexx]

One more Coyne tweet cause this one had me lol'ing

“What would you do to guard against a housing bubble.” Simple: I would give everyone a subscription to Maclean’s.

 

[matthewwhatever]

CENSUS!

It took long enough for that to get brought up.

 

[Tiktaalik]

I appreciate the census talk, but this is a bit of a dodge. On the other hand I'm pretty sure this is a provincial and municipal issue?

 

[firehawk12]

CENSUS!

It took long enough for that to get brought up.

YEEES

 

[dragonfart28]

I like Mulcair best but those goddamn bear hands lol

 

[matthewwhatever]

I appreciate the census talk, but this is a bit of a dodge. On the other hand I'm pretty sure this is a provincial and municipal issue?

CMHC uses census data. No long-form census harms their ability to be effective.

What's this about old-stock Canadians? It's suddenly blowing up on Twitter, but I missed how Harper used it.

 

[Tiktaalik]

lol way to not talk about housing in any way at all Mulcair

 

[Annubis]

Harper just said that enormous mortgage is a great thing.

 

[Parch]

A shot for every THATS NOT TRUE MR HARPER

Followed by no or weak explanation. Mulcair isn't saying enough. Trudeau is just rambling.

 

[NetMapel]

wtf Harper. I'll celebrate when I can actually afford a place in Vancouver. House party and all that.

 

[dragonfart28]

Harper positive on housing? :/

 

[Tiktaalik]

Basically what will happen is that the Liberals or NDP will win, and then the housing bubble will finally collapse and the Conservatives will blame the government and cruise to several straight majorities.

 

[TheStruggler]

BURNNNNN

however in current times I dont see why marijuana is illegal, and I dont even smoke it

[Razorskin]

That puff of smoke comeback, goddamn

 

[MMarston]

Sick burn there Tommy

 

[firehawk12]

Mulcair is looking like the real winner so far.

 

[Silexx]

Gonna give Muclair credit for that jab about the renovation tax credit.

 

[dragonfart28]

Holy smokes my house is on fire

 

[Evo Shandor]

Trudeau is not doing well. He's repeating his speaking points more than Jack Layton's joke about Harper's sweater.

Mulcair is doing well but his answer dodging is as shameless as Harper's.

 

[Pedrito]

I'm not putting mysef through this torture but looking at the summary on the news, the set doesn't look as low budget as usual for a canadian debate. Shame there isn't an airplane behind them though.

 

[matthewwhatever]

Didn't the NDP help kill national childcare under the Liberals? I know that Martin deserved to lose, but bashing the Liberals for not implementing childcare is pretty disingenuous.

 

[Tiktaalik]

Waiting for Trudeau to knock over his lectern and clock someone...

 

[Tiktaalik]

This is a good question!

 

[NetMapel]

 

[Parch]

Now Mulcair is just repeating himself.

 

[Joeku]

Aw fuck, I finally remember that the debate is happening, hit youtube, and immediately the moderator is like "And now for the final topic of this half."

It's like a personal fuck you to me.

 

[Tiktaalik]

aaaand Mulcair isn't really answering it!

talking points, talking points everywhere...

 

[TheStruggler]

something about Muclair frightens me, appearance wise

 

[Kifimbo]

Waiting for Trudeau to knock over his lectern and clock someone...

He's too busy talking about stuff that have almost nothing do to with the economy. Refugees, census, etc. Marijuana is probably coming up.

 

[matthewwhatever]

Was Mulcair just straight-up reading his talking points? That was weird.

Ok, that's pretty good.

 

[Evo Shandor]

aaaand Mulcair isn't really answering it!

talking points, talking points everywhere...

Pretty much.

Also, the moderator is awful. He can't control them and his counters are, for the most part, weak.
