listening in to the English translation of the French debate cpac.ca/episode?id=f98…
Adding a response I made on a related thread
Adding a comment I made that I missed including in the thread
each leader is asked about whether prepared to join in a coalition - O'Toole falls back on the talking point he's worn out during the debate by now "this is not the time to have an election, during a pandemic"
The moderator says "that's not the question"
Here's an excellent thread covering the French debate (h/t @Justin_Ling)
adding this relevant tweet (h/t @EricGrenierTW)
so the press tried to pin Mr. O'Toole down, on private healthcare - and he kept pivoting to "partnerships" and "wait times" and "provinces should have the freedom to choose how they spend health transfers"

Seems as though he's threatening a constitutional challenge the HCA, IMHO
2/
 he claims that he means to keep it universal access and I wonder about that word "access" - Americans have access to healthcare, but they don't all face the same costs.

slightly nasty tinge (IMHO) to this speech by the CPC leader right now

(listening on @CBCNews)

wouldn't recommend tuning in. It's a combination of misleading statements, accusations of being divisive - while being extremely divisive with the content of this speech, and so on
2/
 Mr. O'Toole just asked about tone of his speech. Reporter pointed out "you started this campaign by claiming you were more positive, but you were anything but, in this speech. You made personal attacks on Mr. Trudeau."

O'Toole doesn't answer, asks Cdns to compare platforms
3/
 now another reporter is asking if Mr. O'Toole is concerned his victory is slipping away, based upon the tone of his speech today (paraphrased)

 reporters keep asking the fed NDP leader what he'd do differently, asking for specifics - what would his govt do that Trudeau has not done. They ask if he's consulted the communities.
…
(doesn't answer - see next tweet)

 Mr. Singh's answer to being asked for specifics of what he'd do differently than Liberal govt: "It's the passion and conviction. I just don't believe after six years, it shouldn't have happened."
3/
 Reporter: "Your platform has money for Indigenous communities. Where would that money go, that you have in your platform?"

He doesn't answer. Just pivots to "Trudeau bad"

interesting Q for Erin O'Toole jn. He's asked what he thinks of the fact that it's solely Justin Trudeau is the target of these dangerous protests (paraphrased)

O'Toole answers "that's why we choose to have a positive campaign in a studio, where it's safe"

@CBCNews
2/
 I get the impression that Mr. O'Toole is proud of the fact he is using a "safe" studio environment for his pressers. He keeps mentioning the word "positive" implying contrast to Trudeau's "negative" experience campaigning w protests.

Personally, think it makes E O'T look weak

- excellent speech at Welland, Ontario, by Trudeau. He's taking questions now.

I love how definitive, and fired up he was, and assume the @liberal_party campaign will share clips from his speech, on social media

 here it is
3/
 still hope they upload short clips as well

 (abbrev) “… new Lib plan looks to drive down oil & gas sector emissions w 5-yr targets all the way to net-zero by 2050. This industry alone is our largest source of emissions & responsib for 26% of Cda’s contrib'n to climate change … Lib-led fed govt”

 (cont'd, abbrev) “… has taken other key steps over the past yr, most notably proposing to raise the carbon price to $170/tonne by 2030. The fed govt also invested in clean industries, channeling billions into Net Zero Accelerator Initiative to fund projs that cut emissions.”

PMJT "Do you recall at the beginning of the pandemic when we banged pans in thanks for help from frontline workers? Now they need our help. They are being surrounded by anti-vaxxer protests across the country. They need us to stand up for them once again by getting vaccinated."
2/
 PMJT "We are committed to rolling out vaccination proof programs. And you can see how this has impacted decisions by Doug Ford. I think we all know this wouldn't happen if Erin O'Toole were sitting across the table from Dough Ford." (paraphrased)

 PMJT "We'll keep fighting for $10/day child care, to get the economy roaring back. And we'll continue to bring in concrete measures to fight climate change. We will build a Canada even stronger."
