The debate took place in English the day before, and according to CBS, Carney’s three rivals “devoted much of the contest to discrediting him.”
It detailed that Conservative leader Pierre Poilievre attacked Carney by stating that his government would not be very different from the one led by his “unpopular predecessor, former Prime Minister Justin Trudeau.”
Likewise, Jagmeet Singh of the New Democratic Party “dedicated much of his time portraying Carney as an out-of-touch elite who will cut public services.”
Similarly, Bloc Québécois leader Yves-François Blanchet maintained a similar message, accusing Carney of being a corporate fat cat who will not defend Quebec’s interests.
Meanwhile, Carney, in both Wednesday’s French-language debate and last night’s English-language debate, maintained his stance of defending Canada against the tariff impositions of US President Donald Trump.
During the debates, Carney affirmed that in the face of US President Donald Trump’s threats, he is ready to fight, protect, and build a strong Canada.
The Liberal Party leader emphasized the importance of building a single Canadian economy and stressed that all authorities from the country’s various districts must work together to eliminate internal trade barriers.
Faced with the imposition of tariffs and Trump’s controversial idea of annexing the country as a U.S. state, Carney asserted that he will confront the U.S. president.
Canada’s federal elections will be held on April 28 to elect members of the House of Commons for the 45th Canadian Parliament.
In these debates, politicians will discuss the cost of living, energy and climate, the trade war, identity and sovereignty, and immigration and foreign relations.
According to a daily poll by Nanos Research, the prime minister’s Liberal Party has a seven-point lead over the Conservative Party and will easily win an absolute majority.
The Liberals have a 44.8 percent voter turnout, while the Conservatives have 37.8 percent. Other parties fall short of 10 percent.
