OTTAWA: Canadian Prime Minister Justin Trudeau, whose electoral fortunes are recovering after images appeared of him in blackface, takes part in a leaders' debate on Monday that could help him retain power in an Oct 21 vote.
"The official debates are going to be the big enchilada, perhaps more so than for any national debates in our history," said Frank Graves, president of polling firm Ekos. The debate starts at 7pm local time. A Conservative strategist said:"We're 100 per cent focused on Trudeau." Scheer, though, may have a challenge landing a series of blows, given there will be six leaders on stage - the most in Canadian political history.
"If the blackface incidents have indeed turned this into an election about character, voters who are still undecided will want to see how the prime minister fares," said Alboim, who works for government relations firm Earnscliffe.
Blackface is very wrong but this 'scandal' was smear politics.
