What does each leader need to accomplish in tonight’s debate? What do they need to say? Let’s have a think, writes @AGMacDougall. #elxn44 #leadersdebate macleans.ca/politics/feder…
Trudeau has to rally wary progressives back into Camp Liberal and re-energize his base. He’ll do this by tearing the NDP’s climate “plan” apart and encouraging progressives to rally behind the best plan in Canada for tackling climate change. macleans.ca/politics/feder…
Erin O’Toole needs to reassure suburban voters who are struggling with the cost-of-living and housing prices, but are wary of some elements of his party. He’ll do this by talking up job creation, his housing plan and desire to reduce household bills. macleans.ca/politics/feder…
Jagmeet Singh needs to convey purpose and momentum so his supporters don’t just vote for Trudeau out of fear. He’ll do this by positioning Trudeau as a centrist in socialist clothes, a man whose actions often drop well short of his soaring rhetoric. macleans.ca/politics/feder…
Yves-François Blanchet needs to portray the Canadian nationalists in Parliament as antithetical to Québec’s needs. Expect him to lob grenades, from Bill 21 to the Montreal school board’s decision to deny Quebec’s nationhood. macleans.ca/politics/feder…
Annamie Paul’s party is in meltdown. She needs to grab this opportunity to reclaim her dignity and keep the internal wolves at bay. She’ll do this by speaking instead of being spoken for and touting her climate change plan. macleans.ca/politics/feder…

In the last weeks, many Canadians have felt frustrated to see federal leaders repeating they would not initiate a federal court challenge against Bill 21, writes Emilie Nicolas. macleans.ca/opinion/why-th…
Yet it rarely occurs to them that several progressive Quebeckers have advised Trudeau, Singh and others not to, fearing it would only make the francophone social dialogue even more acrimonious... macleans.ca/opinion/why-th…
...on top of being useless, given that people within Quebec are already challenging the law themselves. If a federal party was to take such an initiative, they would create a wedge amongst some of the strongest local voices against the bill.

For Maggie, a grocery store worker in B.C., the initial mad dash at the beginning of the pandemic “was like the 23rd of December every day for four to five months.” (1/7) macleans.ca/longforms/the-…
On a wave of “We (heart) our essential workers” uplift, grocery chains like Maggie’s across Canada gave their employees a $2 hourly pay bump. It was much-heralded, but short-lived. (2/7) macleans.ca/longforms/the-…
In the U.S., Amazon and Walmart took in an average of $10.7 billion in extra profit, but their workers received an average of just $0.95 per hour and $0.63 per hour in extra pandemic pay. (3/7) macleans.ca/longforms/the-…

In the days after 9/11, Brian Clark would get phone calls from family members of missing colleagues asking if he’d seen their person on his descent from the 84th floor of the south tower. He remembers having to let them down gently. (1/5) macleans.ca/news/world/9-1…
“I can remember that day, it rolls like a movie in my brain,” he says. After 10 seconds of terror, “I had this feeling wash over me that, ‘Brian, you’re going to be okay.’” (2/5) macleans.ca/news/world/9-1…
While 9/11 does not haunt Clark to the degree it does so many others, he still lives in its shadow. After introducing himself to a real estate agent recently, she said “I know exactly who you are, you’re Brian Clark of 9/11.” (3/5) macleans.ca/news/world/9-1…

Jody Wilson-Raybould may be having a moment. She was mentioned several times in the latest leaders debate and has a memoir coming out soon. She recently spoke with @mariedanielles about her time in politics and what’s next. macleans.ca/longforms/jody…
.@Puglaas on deciding to leave Parliament during a pandemic: “I witnessed a return to, even more so, this hyper-partisan jockeying for position in terms of acquiring votes and political expediency over the major issues that needed to be discussed.” macleans.ca/longforms/jody…
@Puglaas On Canada’s broken systems: “I do think they’re salvageable… But we have to work on our democracy. We have to work on our institutions…I think we need to be honest with ourselves about the nature of the democracy that we live in.” macleans.ca/longforms/jody…

Here are five key takeaways from the federal English-language debate from @markusoff for @macleans: #LeadersDebate #elxn44 #cdnpoli (1/6) macleans.ca/politics/feder…
Trudeau's record was easily criticized for its shortcomings by Singh and O'Toole, who targeted the Liberals' failure to lift all water advisories and meet climate targets. (2/6) macleans.ca/politics/feder… Image
A mostly steady O’Toole benefitted from lines of questioning on Canada’s relationship with China during the imprisonment of the two Michaels and the ongoing crisis in Afghanistan. (3/6) macleans.ca/politics/feder… Image
