On Thursday evening, Liberal leader Mark Carney, Conservative leader Pierre Poilievre, Bloc Québécois leader Yves-François Blanchet, and NDP leader Jagmeet Singh gathered in Montreal for the second of two televised leaders’ debates. The candidates sparred over several topics, including the Trump trade war, cost of living, energy projects, the environment, and public and national security. The Hub has compiled a list of ten key quotes from the debate.

Last night was the first of the two government-organized and sanctioned debates that Canadians will be treated to ahead of the April 28th federal election. I had the pleasure of attending the French-language debate in person, on behalf of The Hub, as accredited media. I’ve arrived at the Maison de Radio Canada in Montreal where the leaders debate will be taking place.

Polling by Abacus Data done just before the 2021 federal election showed Conservatives were the least popular with those 18 to 29, and the most popular with those over 60.
