I cannot believe the audacity of Harper blaming the Alberta NDP on the Alberta deficit.

Ugh, I'm waiting for the wife to get home to watch this with her but hearing he did this really pisses me off. I had to fight back the urge to explode on someone's Facebook status the other day about this shit. Ultimate scumbag.

 

[Ledhead]

Damn I'm missing out on this. Is it streamed anywhere? I'm sure I can find it tomorrow after it aired

 

[dragonfart28]

Long term starts now lol

I can't believe he said it a second time

 

[Tiktaalik]

btw if Jack Layton is mentioned you must finish your drink.

 

[MMarston]

Really, the best thing that can happen now is for Mulcair to rips his face off to reveal he is Layton.

 

[Silexx]

I'm actually surprised Mulcair doesn't mention how the NDP invented medicare more.

He was great in that last segment.

Yeah, but Trudeau can counter that his dad implemented it at the federal level.

 

[Hieberrr]

Man, can these guys just answer the question instead of inputting their talking notes into everything?

 

[matthewwhatever]

This moderator is so, so, so bad.

I think it'll live on on CPAC's website, and probably on YouTube (I have the YT link in the OP).

 

[MMarston]

This moderator is so, so, so bad.

Dat awkward pause

 

[Learn2read]

This part of the debate is kind of baffling. How does Trudeau respond to Mulcair talking about his bio?



He's basing it on an assumption of 2% growth (right now, we're projected for 1%) and $60/barrel oil (we're at $45, and the outlook for the future isn't good).

Sorry, reading back and I might not have been clear, but fukk balanced budgets. Or at least there needs to be an understanding there's more to proper fiscal responsibility than making sure that managing an organic, shifting economy means more than seeing the numbers on both sides of the ledger always cancel out.

Lol

Who would the other guys be?

 

[Boogie]

Just in a delivery, image sense, I feel Trudeau is falling apart in the second half. Just rushing his answer, tripping over words, sounding desperate.

Mulcair and Harper seem cool and collected in comparison.

 

[Tiktaalik]

bad answer from Trudeau on how to create a new economy

 

[J-Man]

I'm not a fan of the moderation in this debate.

I'm not sure I agree with those saying Harper is winning, I do agree he is able to sit back and stick to his plan, but I don't think his message of things are ok right now is how Canadians feel.

Trudeau is doing well enough at differentiating himself, but I wish he would discuss in more depth how is investments would grow the economy. I agree with the sentiment that government investment is important for the growth of Canada in theory, but I wish I had a clearer picture of what exactly his investments are going into other than transit.

Other notes:
- Is Mulcair trying to be a comedian? Most jokes aren't hitting. Especially that old pot smoking joke. Weren't the NDP once in favour of legalization.
- The Moderator is inserting himself too much into this debate.
- Trudeau needs to breathe

 

[maharg]

Harper's favourite word tonight is apparently "Look".

 

[matthewwhatever]

Awesome line by Trudeau about Harper's deficits.

 

[MMarston]

Lol

Who would the other guys be?

Trudeau is actually Pierre's consciousness implemented into a host body

Harper is actually wearing a toupe or something iunno

 

[CreeperBlocks]

Trudeau needs to take a breather.

 

[ryan-ts]

Harper's favourite word tonight is apparently "Look".

Let me be clear, I think you're right.

 

[maharg]

I'm surprised Harper isn't pointing out that the Liberals and the NDP not only supported the stimulus program, but damn near forced him to run it.

 

[MMarston]

Trudeau I like you seriously but please cut it out

 

[Hieberrr]

Oh shit, he called him Justin. Shit is getting personal.

Found a stream thanks. My current internet is god awful so the stream is real laggy. Ah well, getting better internet on Sunday.

 

[dragonfart28]

Trudeau in honest mode again

And Harper is clear

LIKE A LASER

 

[Simon Belmont]

The toupee is covering something...

Spoiler

 

[Parch]

Trudeau losing this big time. So irrational.
Mulcair logically switching target to Harper.

 

[Hieberrr]

Man, this debate is turning into an argument LOL.

 

[catpurrcat]

Awesome line by Trudeau about Harper's deficits.

What did he say?

 

[Evo Shandor]

Great question.

 

[-Pyromaniac-]

Harper doesn't accept the facts.

 

[Tiktaalik]

"unstable and risky economy" drink!

 

[Hieberrr]

Harper - Let me be clear on that.

 

[CreeperBlocks]

Harper doesn't accept the facts.

Harper: He just doesn't Listen.

 

[matthewwhatever]

What did he say?

Paraphrasing, but something like, "You've run deficits in good years. You've run deficits in bad years. The only time you don't run deficits is election years."

 

[Stage On]

Harper right now

 

[dragonfart28]

Harper can't accept we need to transition to renewables.

 

[Tiktaalik]

if he says we'll be Greece under the Libs/NDP you must finish your drink.

 

[maharg]

Paraphrasing, but something like, "You've run deficits in good years. You've run deficits in bad years. The only time you don't run deficits is election years."

Yep. That was a good line.

 

[fallout]

Oh! A long term plan! Trudeau knows when that should start ...

 

[matthewwhatever]

Ahhh! Creepy Tom is back!

 

[MMarston]

Ahhh! Creepy Tom is back!

Well Trudeau drove the Angry method to the ground

 

[Kinitari]

I feel like this is the fourth time the question has essentially been "What are you gonna do to make the economy better?" I wonder why we keep hearing the same damn talking points! At least switch to a different topic so we can hear the OTHER talking points

It's a debate on the economy. But this is the problem with a one topic debate that's this long. :/

 

[dragonfart28]

Anyone else find it creepy the way Harper smiles at the others while they lambast him?

It's an "economic" debate -- so no switching coming this evening.

 

[MMarston]

Their anger only makes him more powerful

 

[Hieberrr]

Look.

Thank God, this monstrosity of a debate is finally over.

 

[dragonfart28]

He really does look like the emperor from star wars.

 

[-Pyromaniac-]

Glad Trudeau called out Canada's lack of ambition.
