Mark Carney is clear and concise and level headed while the others are all on the attack, it’s clear he is the most calm and even keel person on the debate right now #LeadersDebate #Canada

Carney seemed frustrated at Poilievre’s inability to consider & explain how he will manage to do all the things he says he will do.
Throws in "cut the bureaucracy” a lot & thinks like Trump.
A team tyrant of one calling all the shots & refusing to work together with other leaders.
Shocker.
The media framed it as though Carney would have a difficult time during the French debate and it would change things. That's not what I thought. I always thought that Poilievre was the one who had to do well, considering how much Quebec dislikes him. Even in French, he's a jackass.

I am ashamed to say that I was too nervous to watch. Been following french press reporting. How was his french - did he manage? No mention of it at all in La Presse so it must have been acceptable.
To be fair, Polly is probably the most subservient to Trump of the three leading candidates - and Trump adores people who have their noses up his butt.
So, maybe Canadians WANT a brown-noser who will bow to Trump. Right Canada? That's what you REALLY want, isn't it? Admit it !
Concise is doing a lot of heavy lifting for "hardly speaks French". He gave us absolutely NOTHING. Thankfully for him, Poilievre was worse. Had me screaming at my screen a few times.
I will take Carney over Poilievre but goddamn, we deserve better.
There are advantages to being boisterous.. especially when courting the young male vote… but in this particular election, with the Trump threats, Carney is a head in the polls exactly because he is seen as the most calm and level headed one
Poor Pierre is so desperate right now. All he has left is to cry and slander the liberals. And his weak minded uneducated followers fall for it. Really sad. Vote for PM Carney.
He was Governor of the Bank of Canada, Governor of the Bank of England, recruited by both Conservatives and Liberals to join them, and recruited as a possibility to lead the IMF. In my mind there is only one choice to lead us through economic chaos.
Looks like their attacks didn't really land Chantal Hébert says that means he put the French debate behind him and wasn't damaged which is good for Mark Carney https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=JMAoPcKTsZc
LOL
I tried listening to him but cut the video after less than a minute, too much vitriol and lying for me to endure.
I don't understand why people like that survive in politics, makes no sense to me.
I really want to know why he hasn't obtained a security clearance. I bet a few people were told but they can't share it with the public.
That must be frustrating.
I’ve noticed how he has been a lot more comfortable. He was just rusty. He used to speak decent French. I heard someone from Quebec saying it was now better than PeePee’s is.
I talked to some francophones. They said Carneys French is foundationally very good, just level of vocabulary needs to improve. They were confident that his base is so strong it would take no time at all to improve. And they say it already has.
Carney is the clear winner in a debate in which he is the weakest in the French language. To elect a phd in economics over a paper boy turned carreer politician is a no brainer.
I was a bit concerned about what his performance in the French language debate, how he would hold up, but he's solid. And he's not allowing the other 3 to misrepresent anything. The rest of them sound unhinged
Yeah but I am scared that ordinary people who don’t follow a lot of politics will buy the attacks on Carney as facts. The other leaders are misleading +++
And Poilievre’s ideology, similar to that of Trump, is not talked about at the scale of the menace
I think you're right. The people who follow Poilievre are not (generally) interested in fact checking on their own. They just accept what he says because it plays into their belief system.
The proper who are PeePee hard core aren’t the ones who are going to have their minds changed. His constant attacks are likely to put he centre ground Cons off more.
Sure hope you're right 🤞 Was talking to some friends who are legacy Con voters & tried to explain how far this party is from the Cons your parents/grandparents voted for. Trump remains the best analogy.
Conservative in name only. They are the Reform Party who hijacked the Conservative party name in 2003. "The Reform Party was a right-wing, populist, western political protest movement that grew to become the official opposition in Parliament in 1997..." https://www.thecanadianencyclopedia.ca/en/article/reform-party-of-canada
I’m listening in English. Any idea who responded to Pollievre’s comment on the atomic energy commission board with: “that’s the first time I’ve heard Pierre Polievre say something positive about science.” Priceless
Um, no, Carney was not installed by Israel. Knock it off. He has condemned the situation in Gaza and has advocated for a ceasefire and resumption of humanitarian aid into Gaza.
I saw him defending 🇮🇱, I did not see him supporting Gaza, glad you pointed it out. I watch Canada politics casually. I hope you clean the Z10's out of your govt, so you don't end up like the US. Trump is an installed puppet.
He called what’s happening in Gaza horrible. Said the genocide is before the international courts (you better believe he like any liberal leader, will stand by that ruling). It’s a genocide but right now while Netanyahu is in power you have to be diplomatic to advocate for Gaza at the Israeli table.
US Democrats (liberals)& Republicans are all sell outs working for 🇮🇱. There is no US govt. Trump is a puppet dismantling govt infrastructure before 🇮🇱 rolls out military occupation of 🇺🇲 under the guise of police training. 83 new military bases staffed by 🇮🇱. Every one a Trojan Horse.
Apparently he isn’t doing well in the French debate? I don’t speak French, but Bloc Québécois are saying his talking points are terrible, and so is his French. 😞
Of course they will say that everything PM Marc Carney does is bad. The Bloc is losing voters to the Libs because voters want someone that will deal with the felon.
PP has is trying to look like a banker but he is failing and he does not pass in Québec.
His French is fine, his accent is adequate if not the best. People confuse the two. The important thing is how well you speak a language, not how good is your accent.
I get pissed at this. He speaks and understands French, his policies help Quebecers, but because he isn’t perfect speaking French, this will hurt him? It’s frustrating
From what I've heard from Quebecers, (A limited pool, mind you) they don't care how perfect someone's French is as long as they can speak it, commit to respecting French-Canadian culture, and address the issues they care about
I speak French, not what would be considered proficient, but enough to watch a French show/movie in the original language and he's doing fine. His French has improved since the French Liberal Leadership debate.
Carney is the only competent option. He seems to have earned the trust of Canadians in an extremely short amount of time. He seems to be the right guy at exactly the right time.
Bloc and NDP know they are going to lose seats. PeePee knows that he has been tanking. Attack attack. Carney calm, answering the questions, positive, focused, aware of issues and has plans.
After listening to Poilievre's attacks on scientists and doctors for the last 3 years, I just heard him in the debate say he would pull all politicians off the Nuclear Energy Board (or whatever it's called) and leave it all up to the scientists.
He just refuses to pick a lane on any subject.
It's intentional. No matter what someone wants to hear he will tell it to them. Everyone believes only the items they like and disregard all the contradictions.
Like Trump, he would say anything & its opposite, depending on what is more convenient at the time: when you stand for nothing but to get in power, you'd say anything that gets you power with equal lack of conviction & make it sound like you really believe in what you're saying, every time. 🤮
Yes. I'm still also wondering what could we have learned if he had gone through the security clearance process.Apparently now it might be distracting, when he became CPC's candidate was too soon, never a Goldilocks zone for PP.🤣🤮
I would love to know. He's hiding something. His excuse for not undergoing a background check makes no sense.
Getting his security clearance during the campaign would likely have lifted him up in the polls, but no, he still wouldn't do it. That just tells you he CAN'T pass the background check.
Ties to hate groups his wife’s daddy has ties dug cartels and was charged with money laundering for them. Bottom line he is shady as fuck and would never pass. And last thing maga trump pp wants is Canada to know the truth on him.
If he was PM, I would imagine we would see the same sort of incompetence and blunders as we do from Trump and his administration/regime.
I honestly don't believe that Poilievre is a very bright man. He's never done anything to show that he is.
He has managed to secure a pension for himself and has sucked at the government teat for the past 20 years. He is not very good at the only job he has ever had but he is devious enough to milk the system.
He did, I followed it all, Boris and all. I couldn't think of a better person for the job of Prime Minister than Mark Carney. Canada should thank our lucky stars he is ours.
… and despite his self-claimed provincial excellence, Blanchet has only ever gotten seats in the purest wool regions. The majority of Quebecers don’t like him.

The ones that are most vicious in attacking others are always the most cowardly when they are criticized themselves.
Those that can handle the criticism, are usually less likely to dish it out
Carney is clearly the latter, and PP is obviously the coward.

Thanks, Pierre, you cemented my decision tonight 😉

With that backing, he's somehow managed to brainwash Alberta and Saskatchewan.
That must be frustrating.
He stands out of the crowd
Rock Solid
Elbows up 🇨🇦
Can I vote twice?
And Poilievre’s ideology, similar to that of Trump, is not talked about at the scale of the menace
Please stop blatantly lying.
PP has is trying to look like a banker but he is failing and he does not pass in Québec.
Pierre Poilievre continues to be the guy to fumbled the pizza.
He just refuses to pick a lane on any subject.
He refuses to get a security clearance and is the only MP with a compliance agreement with Elections Canada... for violating election laws.
He said the complete opposite for years and years and years and now he changes his tune?
Bullshit
Getting his security clearance during the campaign would likely have lifted him up in the polls, but no, he still wouldn't do it. That just tells you he CAN'T pass the background check.
I honestly don't believe that Poilievre is a very bright man. He's never done anything to show that he is.
Empty slogans won’t cut against a world class economist!
