Justin Ling: The NDP leader was too busy roasting the incumbent to sell himself as a PM-in-waiting LeadersDebate elxn44 cdnpoli

Jagmeet Singh spent so much time making the case that Justin Trudeau is the wrong leader for Canada, he forgot to make the case he’s the right one.

Would he scrap the Trans Mountain pipeline upon being elected? Who knows. Where would his investments go to get CO2 emissions down by 50 per cent? Couldn’t say. How would he protect Indigenous ancestral rights to logging, fishing and hunting? No idea. The Liberal leader was, himself, fact-checked by longtime advocate Cindy Blackstock, who tweeted: “You have a right to litigate against First Nations children and have chosen to do so—you don’t have the right to make false statements about it.”

Of course, that’s not true either. Under Trudeau, Canada has blown past the targets it committed to under the Kyoto Accord and the Copenhagen Accord. As Singh and Green leader Annamie Paul were quick to point out, Canada has been the only G7 country to see its emissions rise in recent years. That meant that, with every opportunity to put his “bold” and “ambitious” plan on the table, he lacked any figures to back it up, instead pivoting to platitudes and incessant optimism.

Singh just threw himself back as a potential candidate in my books trying to roast Trudeau. Singh still stays at 2 but further back but still ahead of O'Toole & the rest.

Sour grapes from Justin Ling. He's a Liberal diehard. Just go to his Twitter for confirmation. Justin_Ling

Thanks to all the women who stood up to Trudeau for women’s rights & to protect our laws & values! Great job Ms. Paul for putting Justin in his place today & although the Greens might not win the election,you most certainly made a positive difference in making our country better!

There's that Ling perspective. Guy has such hate for all things Trudeau he must have been spurned years ago. 'No, Justin. I, a different Justin, am married to my own waifu. I cannot be your husbando.' - PMJT

Nice red herring, seeing as how Singh has zero chance of becoming Prime Minister. His job was to Kamikaze Trudeau, to benefit O’Toole. And it worked perfectly.

I am disappointed Maclean's. The Conservative party has only governed under one leader given it is not the same party yet I don't recall that coming up. None after the man who broke electoral law to create it so why not say no one other than Harper has formed govt as Cons.?

Trudeau says he would never turn his backs on Canadians.But I don’t think the ones left behind in Afghanistan would agree, nor those who can’t afford a home or the cost of living,those effected by the forest fires,the pandemic or opioid crisis as he called an unnecessary election

Mr. Singh promises everything to everyone, which of course is no problem for the NDP leader as much like Trudeau, he doesn’t concern himself with the responsibility of dealing with the cost and he is out of touch w/ reality if he truly believes the rich will pay. Sadly we will😔

COMMENTARY: Justin Trudeau finds his fire during French language debate, Twitter analysis shows - National | Globalnews.caIpsos’ Political Atlas tracker, which measures sentiment and volume on Twitter, shows Justin Trudeau won Wednesday's French-language debate. Trudeau simply called an early election so that he would no longer have to be accountable to neither Parliament nor Canadians for the next 4 years & in doing so he has shown that he couldn’t care less about volunteers, election staff nor voters safety during the pandemic. Shame! Obviously eveey news source is going to lean this towards Trudeau no matter what the outcome was. When JustinTrudeau won they thought they got the new Jesus!When EmmanuelMacron won in France they also thought he was Jesus &same w most countries & NOW THEY ARE ALL HATED -add in BorisJohnson too! When will ppl realize that NO ONE CAN SAVE U BUT YOURSELF

Justin Trudeau pushes his way to centre of debate like a leader running out of timeThe Liberal Leader didn’t have a straight answer to every question. But he did look straight into the camera nearly every time and punch out a response Trudeau simply called an early election so that he would no longer have to be accountable to neither Parliament nor Canadians for the next 4 years & in doing so he has shown that he couldn’t care less about volunteers, election staff nor voters safety during the pandemic. Shame! It'd be easier to just state he killed it last night.... 💯 He’s going to lose

English-language debate: Justin Trudeau put on defensive over early election call, foreign policyWith the Sept. 20 election fast approaching, Liberal Leader Justin Trudeau was forced to justify his decision to hold a vote amid the pandemic Over confident JustinTrudeau thought calling an election at this time was an easy win for him to win a majority government. Now he can't even win a Leaders' debate. Such a fool. Still deciding my vote but I'm 100% confident it won't be for the liberal_party. After listening to today’s debate I understand why Trudeau wanted election. Opposition party only wants to be in power & not thinking of Canadians. JT thinks most of Canadians who get vaccinated will vote him to ban the unvax… he is so wrong😅
