A big question heading into the debate was whether Liberal Leader Mark Carney, who has beginned in the polls, Would Stumble.

CARNEY, The Former of the Bank of England, Managed to the Survive Wednesday’s French Debate Despite Being Less Proficient in The Country’s Second Language.

On Thursday, Himself Placed On The Spot Repeatedly by His Three Opponents: Conservative Leader Piilievre, New democratic Party Leader Jagmeet Singh and Bloc Québécois Blanchet.

How to Respond to Canada’s Ongoing Trade War with Theme, But The Debate Also Featured Spirited Discussions Facing Canada, Such As Affordability, Crime and The Environment.

Here Are Five Big Takeaways From Thursday’s Face-off:

CARNEY’S OPPONENT Were Quick to Hone In Hone On The Mistakes Of The Unpopular Predecessor, Former Prime Minister Justin Trudeau.

Conservative Leader Poilievre Made Reference to the “Lost Liberal Decade”, Referencing The Last 10 Years in the Liberal Party has been in Power. He Cited Issues Like Housing Affordability and The High Cost Of Living To Drive His Point Home.

“How Can We Possibly Believe That You Are Any Different?” Poilievre Asked Carney.

Blanchet Also Threw Down The Gauntlet To Carney. “You claim you are different – You need to prove you even better.”

CARNEY WAS FORCED TO HIMSELF MULTIPLE Times, Noting That He has only been in the Prime’s Prime’s Chair for One Month Despite Sharing The Same Party Banner As Trundeau.

“I am a Very Different Person Than Justin Trudeau,” Carney Said.

The Leaders Were Asked About How They Would Negotiate With Trump and Respond to His Tariffs on Canada.

Trump Has Implemented Blanket 25% on Chariffs On Canada, With Exemption Products Covered by The USMCA – A North American free Trade Deal. Canada Is Also Hit with Global US Tariffs on Steel and Aluminum and Cars.

The President has already publicly spoken about Canada Becoming The 51st US State.

Canada’s Government has previously Said ITS Position Is to Implement “Dollar-For-Dollar” Tariffs With The AIM of Inflicting Maximum Pain on The US Economy.

But During The Debate, The Leaders Appeared to Contend That It Is Ultimately Not An Equal Fight.

“We’ve Moved Dollar-For-Dollar Tariffs,” Carney Said, Acknowledging That The US Economy Is More Than 10 Times The Size’s.

The Liberal Leader Said The Focus Would Shift to Tariffs Designed to Maximise Pain on The US and Hurt Canada as little as possible.

Trump Appears To Have Softened His Language on Canada Recent Weeks. After a Phone Call The US President in Late March, Carney Said Trump “Respected Canada’s Soverignty” and That Their Conversation Was “Constructive”.

Canada and The US Are Expected to Start Talks on Trade and Security After the 28 April Election.

For Canadians Tuned in Issues Facing The Country Beyond Trump and His Tariffs, The Debate Offered Substantive Policy Discussions Housing From Topics To Crime To Immigration.

It was Clear That Canadians Have Starkly Different Choices Before Them.

Poilievre Frequently Championed His Vision That Would Keep Taxes Low To Drive Up Economic Growth and Affordability for Canadians, And That Would Be Tough On Crime.

Singh, Meanwhile, Stronger Social Programmas in Canada, Including Expanding The Country’s National Dental Care and Pharmacare Programmas and Bolstering Healthcare Spender.

CARNEY STUCK Close to the Centrist Point of View of His Party.

“Government can play a role, but ITS Role has to be catalytic,” Hey During a debate segment on Strong Leadership in A Crisis.

Blanchet, Leader of the Bloc, Used His Airtime to Advocate to Quebec’s Distinct Place in Canada and for The Protection of IT Unique Identity.

“I Don’t Want To Be The Leader of Canada,” He noted. The Party Supports The Eventual Separation of Canada From Quebec, and Carries No Seats Outside The Province. But IF IT WINS A Seats, Can Bececome Powerful Voting Bloc in Parliament.

Canada’s Political System, Features Multiple Political Parties: The Centrist Liberals, The Right-Leaning Conservatives, The Left-Leaning New Democrats, and The Bloc, Wrims Only Runs in Quebec. There is the Green Party, which is disqualified at The Last Minute From The Debate Not Running Unouln Candidates.

This Means That Canadians Have Distinct Choices As They Head To Voting Booth.

But Polls Show This Election The Bulk of Canadians Are Opting to Support Either The Conservatives Or Liberals.

This has been the Third-Place parties Fighting for Survival. National Polls Have Singh’s New Democrats at pollling at 8.5% – which couldn’t be roughly translate to six seats out of 343, a Major Loss from Their Current 24 seats.

Singh Visibly Pushed to Make His Voice Heard and Interrupted Both Poilievre and Carney Multiple Times An Attempt to Party Aparty The Choice for Left-Wing Voters.

“You Can’t Entrust All The Power to Mr Carney,” Singh Remarked.

Meanwhile, Bloc Leader Blanchet Inserted Issues Relevant to The French-speaking Province at Every Opportunity.

His Party, Too, Stands At Lease A Dozen Seats In Quebec, According to Current Polling, With Many Opting To Vote for The Liberals As They Believe The Party Is Better Equipped With Trump and His Threats.

There were Alruptions, Spirited Discussions and Even The Attack Of Occasional Lines. BUT Overall, The Tone From The Federal Leaders was Rather Cordial.

That effort to keep the conversation Measured Was Apparent at One Point As The Leaders Were Discussing The Housing Crisis. In A rebuttal to Poilievre, Carney Appeared to Stop Himself Before Laying Into His Opponent.

“Misunderstanding…,” Carney Said As He Paued Mid-Sentence, Adding: “I’ll Be Polite.”

Even After Heated Exchanges, CARNEY AND POILIEVRE WERE FILMED SHAKING HANDS AND EXCHANGING A COUPLE OFFERWARDS.

Overall, It was a strikingly Different Tone To Those Watched Recent Presidential Debate Cycles in the US.

It was Friendlier Than Past Canadian Federal Debates, which featured Different Liberal Liberal and Conservative Candidates.
