The debate, the first to feature all six federal party leaders, kicked off with a question from a member of the audience about how each of the six leaders would defend Canada’s interests and values on the world stage

But none of the leaders answered the question, preferring instead to open with their preferred message of the night. And Scheer’s no-holds-barred attack on Trudeau made it clear what his message was.“Justin Trudeau only pretends to stand up for Canada,” Scheer said. “You know, he’s very good at pretending things. He can’t even remember how many times he put blackface on because the fact of the matter is he’s always wearing a mask.

Front-runners Scheer and Trudeau – deadlocked in the polls, by most accounts – made brief appearances in Ottawa before joining their four other foes in making final preparations for the debate, the first to feature all six leaders. “Right now we’re in an election where the option is to double down on Conservative approaches, which always cut services, looks for austerity and gives tax breaks to the wealthiest instead of to everyone else,” he said.

Alberta Conservative Mike Lake issued a written statement saying the Conservatives would establish a national autism strategy with $50 million in funding over five years. Scheer, in Ottawa to promise free admission to Canada’s national museums, breathed nary a word about it.Lake, whose son Jaden was diagnosed with autism when he was two years old, is a well-known global advocate for autism awareness and treatment.

The announcements, however, were just the warmup act for the main event later Monday: a six-way debate confrontation, two weeks out from election day, in a campaign that has so far failed to conjure up much in the way of political momentum or public attention.
