Bernier starts by attacking road-building in Africa. Because that's what really burns Canadians, I guess?

"Prime Minister is a bit unlikely". You have to appreciate the very honest response by the Bloc leader. #leadersdebate2019

So far the #leadersdebate2019 has consisted of Bernier talking over people whose parties will actually win more than one seat.

Why is the guy with one seat on the far right being permitted to dominate this debate?!

Idea: Put Trudeau, Scheer, Singh and May on a stage. Give them 10 minutes each to lay out their plan on each issue. Allow a few minutes for responses. Cut off everyone's mic when someone is speaking. #leadersdebate2019

First, we waste time letting Bernier hold court on why diversity is bad and now a debate on Quebec's Bill 21, which no federal party wants to challenge. What next, a debate on whether Toronto City Council seats should be reinstated? #leadersdebate

We get it. Bernier hates immigration. We don't need him on the national stage to hear it over and over. #leadersdebate2019

Scheer says that there is never a justification for a PM to interfere in a criminal case. Funny, he felt differently in 2017, when he wanted the PM to interfere in the case of alleged terrorists: ctvnews.ca/politics/plan-… #leadersdebate2019

Referring to Trudeau and Scheer as Mr. Delay and Mr. Deny was a good line by Singh. #leadersdebate2019

Bernier says he will do nothing but balance the budget. Oh, and demonize immigrants. #leadersdebate2019

Bill 21 is terrible, but Quebec has invoked the Notwithstanding Clause, so the feds have limited ability to intervene. Maybe we should discuss more of the things over which these leaders actually have power? #leadersdebate2019

Rosemary Barton is the moderator we all need. #leadersdebate2019
