My thoughts on the English debate: Mark Carney largely weathered the storm. He was attacked on all fronts from everyone, and many people thought he was gonna do absolutely horrible in the debate. He held his own in my view, but some of his answers, he flubbed, especially when he said that China is Canada number 1 threat and when he was trying to defend his work at Brookfield Management. He looked very Prime Ministeral and calm and composed, most adult on stage. He also had a couple of moments where he was humorous. But overall, I think held his own. Pierre Poilievre's performance was rather predictable, and was largely what you would expect. Very much just repeating the same talking points over and over, and often just trying to link Carney to Trudeau, and acting like Trudeau was on the stage. He did however some strong moments on crime issues and also on cost of living issues as well. Ultimately though, he didn't land a knockout punch, though he did come close. Jagmeet Singh I feel, was trying to be forceful and be the guy to hold the main party leaders accountable. But you could tell he was kinda trying to make the case for a minority government. He was often arguing over Pierre Poilievre and Mark Carney which came across as rude. Yves Francois Blanchet I think was the clear loser. He was quite clearly a deer in the headlights and was essentially just begging everyone to talk about Quebec issues and was quite out of sync, though he was able to get some good attacks in on Carney.
