Five fast food from the large television discussion of Canadian party leaders

The leaders of the four major federal parties in Canada have declined in their second and last controversy before the general elections for this month, but someone outside the theater stole many lights: US President Donald Trump.

The big question to the forum for two hours was whether the liberal leader Mark Carney, who was leading in the ballot box, would stumble.

Carney, the former governor of the England Bank, was able to survive through the French debate on Wednesday, despite being the least efficient in the country’s second language.

On Thursday, he found himself immediately and again repeatedly by his three opponents: conservative leader Pierre Boelifer, the leader of the new Democratic Party, Giggdet Singh and the leader of Block Kepikis Eve Frankua Blanchett.

How to respond to the ongoing trade war in Canada with the United States was a subject, but the discussion also witnessed clashes on the ability to withstand costs, crime and the environment.

Here are five fast food from confrontation on Thursday:

Carney opponents quickly refined his non -popular predecessors’ mistakes, former Prime Minister Justin Trudeau.

Conservative leader Poilviri referred to the “lost liberal contract”, as he talks about the past ten years when the liberal party was in power. He referred to issues such as the ability to withstand housing costs and the high cost of living to lead his point of view to the home.

“How can we think you are different?” Poilievre Carney asked.

Blanchet also threw glove to Carney. “You claim that you are different – you need to prove that you are better.”

Carney was forced to defend himself several times, indicating that he was only on the Prime Minister’s chair for a month despite his participation in the same party’s banner as Trudeau.

“I am a completely different person from Justin Trudeau,” Carney said.

The leaders were asked about how to negotiate with Trump and respond to his introduction to Canada.

Trump implemented a 25 % tariff on Canada, with a USMCA -covered products – a free trade deal in North America. Canada was also exposed to the United States’ World tariff for steel, aluminum and cars.

The President also spoke publicly that Canada has become the 51st American state.

The government of Canada has already said that its position is to implement the definitions “in dollars against the dollar” with the aim of inflicting the maximum pain on the American economy.

But during the debate, the leaders seemed to admit that in the end it is not an equal battle.

“We have moved from the customs tariff against the dollar,” Carney said, admitting that the American economy is more than 10 times the size of Canada.

The liberal leader said that the focus will turn into the targeted tariffs designed to increase pain on the United States and harm Canada as minimal as possible.

Trump appears to have eased his language in Canada in recent weeks. After a phone call with the US President in late March, Carney said that Trump “respects the sovereignty of Canada” and that their conversation was “constructive”.

Canada and the United States are expected to start talks about trade and security after the April 28 elections.

For the Canadians who were seized in issues facing the country outside Trump and its definitions, the discussion presented fundamental political discussions on issues from housing to crime to immigration.

It was clear that the Canadians had a flagrant different options in front of them.

Poilievre frequently defended his vision of a small government that will keep taxes low to increase economic growth and the ability to withstand the costs of Canadians, and this will be difficult for the crime.

“My house deserves millions, but my children cannot live here.”

Meanwhile, Singh pushed stronger social programs in Canada, including the expansion of national dental and drug care programs in the country and other health care spending.

Carney holds near the center’s point of view of his party.

“The government can play a role, but its role should be motivational,” he said during a clip about the strong leadership in a crisis.

The Canadian political system, similar to the UK regime, includes multiple political parties: the middle liberals, the right -wing of the right -wing tendencies, the left -wing democrats, and the mass, which only runs the candidates in Quebec. There is also the Green Party, which was excluded at the last minute of the debate due to the lack of operation of enough candidates.

But polls show these elections that the largest part of the Canadians choose to support conservatives or liberals.

These parties left the third place fighting to survive. National opinion polls conducted the surveys of new Democrats in Singh by 8.5 % – which can be translated almost into only five out of 343, a large loss from their current 24 seats.

Singh pushed to make his voice hear, and boycott Poilievre and Carney in an attempt to distinguish his party as a choice of left -wing voters.

“You cannot assign all the strength of Mr. Carney,” note Singh.

Meanwhile, Bloc Blanchet’s leader has entered the issues related to the French boycott at every opportunity.

His party, too, will lose at least ten seats in Quebec, according to the current poll, as many chose to vote for liberals instead because they believe that the party is better prepared to deal with Trump and its threats.

Despite the frequent talk, the tone was generally friendly.

The general sense of decoration was clear when the leaders were discussing the housing crisis. In refuting to Poilievre, Carney seemed to stop himself before lying on his opponent.

“Misunderstanding …”, Carney said temporarily in the middle of the topic, adding: “I will be polite.”

Even after some hot exchanges, Carney and Poilievre were shook hands and laughing then.

It was not completely different from some of the recent presidential discussions in the United States, but rather was more friendly than some previous Canadian federal discussions.
