1/ Final thoughts on #Debate2021:
-Trudeau came off arrogant and hostile, couldn't defend his record on climate change, housing affordability, boil water advisories/reconciliation, pharmacare, etc. I think he takes a hit from this debate to be honest. #Elxn44 #cdnpoli

2/ O'Toole started out affable and seemingly reasonable compared to red faced and belligerent Trudeau. However, the more his platform comes under scrutiny it's hard to see how he grows his support beyond the bump CPC already has. He comes out no further ahead or behind.
3/ Singh stumbled a bit at times, especially at the start, but as the debate went on he found his footing. He smashed Trudeau's credibility, and offered a better alternative for progressive votes. Didn't do enough to produce Orange Wave 2.0, but certainly solidified NDP support.
4/ Paul came out strong & articulate this debate. She may have brought some uncertain Green voters back to the fold, but unfortunately the party itself is in disarray. Probably did the most she could do to stop the bleeding of Green support.
5/ Blanchet came off horrible this debate. Even in 2019 he was able to do well in English, this time he seemed to have trouble translating. I think he may have actually cost the BQ some support, at least amongst Anglo-Quebecers and in the urban areas.
6/ Lastly, I thought this was a well moderated debate. Although the questions were often loaded, I thought it was a good format and kept the leaders on their toes.
Did the debate change much? Unlikely. A minority gov still seems the most likely outcome. #Debate2021 #Elxn44
