Catch up on who said what to whom with CTVNews.ca's roundup of the most noteworthy digs of the debate.

Last Updated Tuesday, October 8, 2019 12:05AM EDTTORONTO -- The leaders of the six major federal parties went head-to-head in a fiery debate Monday night in a room full of undecided voters. It was a chance for the leaders to convey their plans to Canadians, win over new votes, and, of course, throw in a zinger or two towards an opponent.

2. On the subject of climate change, Bloc Quebecois Leader Yves-Francois Blanchet told the People’s Party of Canada Leader Maxime Bernier: “Somebody invoking the truth shouldn’t be somebody denying climate change.”Bernier attempted to interject to say, “I don’t deny climate change.” . 5. When Bernier confronted NDP Leader Jagmeet Singh about not wanting to share the same stage because they disagree about immigration, Singh fired back: “After a couple of minutes of this debate tonight, I think people can clearly see why I didn’t think you should deserve a platform.”

Typical ctv news to say zingers. Next thing you know they will deny being compensated by the libtards.

Scheer is a walking-talking meme...that’s it that’s the tweet

CTVAtlantic It was like watching a stale 40-year marriage fight between these two 🙄. Lots of yelling over each other but no one being heard.

Zero laughs

In truth there are nozingers this is a democracy and the debate was set up like a 'dark comedy', disgusting! Is the 'swimsuit' contest next? raisetheBar We're aren't electing based on the snidest remarks, our Sovereignty is on the line NorepublicanNOrth elxn43

CTVAtlantic I want to think that in 🇨🇦 we care more about policy than “zingers”. Last night was a disappointment and I’m looking at the mediators and politicians to do better next time. CanadaDebate2019 canadavotes2019

CTVAtlantic The best by far was when Trudeau told Bernier that he expreesses in public what Scheer supports in private

Don’t just say it, get out and vote IStandWithTrudeau NeverScheer

Personally I feel the “zingers” and the debate design which encouraged them were more of a distraction and a source of misinformation (let alone irritation to supporters of various parties) - rather than point getters or even amusing. I would not celebrate them this year.

This gives me a slow burn! I DON’T CARE ABOUT ZINGERS!!! TELL ME WHAT YOUR PLATFORM IS!!! I’m not choosing who gets to stay on the island/in the mansion/on the baking show! It’s about how our lives are going to be affected for the next 4 years!

ah yes. what I look for in a political debate...zingers

Debate should not be based on zingers but on real policy points and ideas. No kudos to the media for failing to identify that or run a proper debate to bring out that discussion.

May just confirmed the Greens will prop up the Liberals. You have been warned Canada.

Trudeau admitting he’s trying to change the definition of “what it means to be Canadian” was enough for me.He is NOT the definition of being Canadian.Thankfully!

1) yfblanchet MaximeBernier We are destroying are earth, that's a fact; however climate lobbyists are 'alarmists'. They have also endorsed propaganda funded and created by a pedophile and sex trafficking ring.

If JustinTrudeau wrote this article... Why don't you at least give him the credit ? I noticed none of your (so called) observations... Included Trudeau's bad moments... Of which there were several. FakeNews

To be honest, this election is going to be like playing Russian roulette with a full barrel!

Singh is out to lunch. Bernier tells it like it is and the Libs can't handle that. Trudeau got owned by Scheer. May tried to say Scheer won't win but he will, he has to or we're all doomed.

'You're not going to be prime minister' If that's a zinger, you need to raise the bar.

May will certainly never be Prime Minister so that was odd

Junk analysis to make Liberals look good. Scheer had the best moment when he called Trudeau a Hypocrite and said he's always wearing a mask, weather it's blackface, or a fake feminist's mask, or a fake environmentalist's mask. Singh did well too. Some good zingers CTV missed...

May is not going to be leader of the green party in a month

Sheer kicked Trudeaus butt all night. May came off as wacky. Singh exposed on bill 21 with no courage of convictions and then had a failed flip flop at post debate scrum.

Zing:

It’s not easy being Liz.

Enjoyed the debate. Not often do you get seven nutcases in one room insulting each other. Who won? Who knows?

Total waste of time

Coming from ElizabethMay ....haha thats funny She would know...she has alot of experience at not being PM.

“They” (aka Liberals) also said Donald Trimp would never be president. 🤷🏻‍♂️ Guess they don’t know shit.

Lost all respect for ElizabethMay making her bold and presumptuous comment to AndrewScheer last night’s federal debate, deciding who would and wouldn’t be PM. Uncalled for and unprofessional. Canadians will decide who is PM on their merits. Not you ElizabethMay🤢

If the job of the PM is to stand up for jobs disregarding ethical and moral concern, where will we end up as a nation?

Correction. Mats rebuttal to question 1 was NOT directed to Andrew Scheer - it was directed to the entire Dias who all gave non-answers. Report accurately or not at all. debate2019

CTVAtlantic Thanks May for casting everyones vote. Guess theres no sense of the rest of us wasting our time to vote

All the hype leading up to the debate, and the end result: nothing has changed.

What a total.waste of time CTV is the new CNN

Honestly if Scheer gets in we are so screwed. I'll take any of them over him. But Trudeaus rehearsed and phony BS is old too. I'm voting May.

The fact that your takeaway headline begins with ‘Nine Zingers...’ is very telling. If it had been moderated/formatted properly the candidates would have had time, and the ability, to actually ‘debate’ the issues which are crucial to Canadians.

I can't see why anyone would want to participate in the likes of what happened here last night.

Actually he more than likely is. The worst moderator was CTV’s btw. What a rank twat she was.

There is a meme of people standing in 2 lines that lead to one door with a happy merchant rubbing his hands inside, this Trudeau scheer deal reminds me of this

That was not a zinger.... biased media trying to make the left look like winners

Canadians will decide who is the next Prime Minister, not Elizabeth May
