First Canadian Federal Election Leaders’ Debate:

 

On September 2nd, the leading candidates for Canadian Prime Minister(Or in the case of Singh, representative of said candidate) met for the first French language debate sponsored by the TVA television network. Sparks flew as attacks were made, various demographics were winked at for their support, and the party leaders of Canada(Plus Tom Mulcair) faced off on stage for the hearts and minds of voters. Here is how the night went:

 

Erin O’Toole(7,3,10): +5. Erin O’Toole has widely been considered the winner of the night, delivering a solid message that Canada needs a Prime Minister focused on the wellbeing of Canadians rather than political expediency, and a knockout punch to Trudeau over his government’s failure to respect Quebec and her rights. While O’Toole did seem nervous when appealing to the moderates watching at home, his succinct message and brutal offensive against the Prime Minister both made the night his to celebrate. 

 

Yves-François Blanchet(6,9,2): +2. Yves-François Blanchet walked away with a solid if not exciting night, performing well in the initial portions of the debate as he described his commitment to ensuring Quebec may govern its own affairs, and successfully appealing to French Canadians in Quebec with energy and passion. However, his night would be brought down by an embarrassing attempt to hit O’Toole over his support for a gas pipeline in Quebec, an issue O’Toole would fire back on mercilessly and which would leave Blanchet wounded. Still, the night went well for the Bloc leader, with disaster avoided and a few solid debate clips produced. 

 

Annamie Paul(5,5,6): +1. Annamie Paul didn’t shock the world with her debate performance, and throughout the night she gave clear, understandable answers you would expect of the Green candidate, delivering an average performance as she discussed the protection of the French language and her opposition to Bill 21, and as she appealed to English speakers in the province of Quebec. However, Paul did leave a small mark on stage with her attack against Trudeau, once again demonstrating Quebecois issues as a sore spot for the Prime Minister as she hit Justin over his unclear positions towards the province, being accepted by most as edging out Trudeau in the resulting back-and-forth. Overall, a slightly better-than-average night for Paul. Nothing to cry over or celebrate.

 

Tom Mulcair(8,6,2): +1. Tom Mulcair was a controversial figure for the NDP to send on stage in place of Singh, with memory of his drunken rant on indigeonous culture still existing in the public consciousness. However, no serious harm seems to have been done, as Tom performed well delivering the NDP’s inspiring message of change and nudging left-leaning voters to support the party. However, he would suffer a blow attempting to attack Trudeau over dishonesty and failed campaign promises. All it took was for Trudeau to mention Tom’s drunken rant to send him into quiet shame, ending the exchange. Still, the night went about as well as could’ve been hoped for by sending Tom in, and the NDP ends up with an acceptable night.

Justin Trudeau(1,6,4): -11. While every other person on stage could end the night joyful or at least content over their performance, Trudeau could only feel shame over his time on stage. Red-faced and sweating bullets, the Prime Minister quietly slinked backstage following the debate, refusing to even shake the hands of his opponents. Of course, the reaction may be warranted. The PM kicked off the debate by discussing his brave and skillful handling of COVID, only to end up in a heated argument with the moderator after it was pointed out Trudeau was understating certain statistics by up to 67%, making a fool of himself as he refused to bend even as the moderator was showing him the specific data points he was misrepresenting. And just when it seemed like the rest of the night may progress blandly, with Justin appealing to anti oil-pipeline voters and seeming overly aggressive when criticizing O’Toole for his opponent’s aggressive campaign, the PM would be hit with a killer attack by O’Toole, melting down over the issue of Quebec’s rights and proudly mispeaking in French, “Le Québec n'a aucun droit.(Quebec has no rights.)”. Overall, a horrible night for the Prime Minister.

Singh will campaign in British Columbia where he talks climate change

Mulcair will be back in Quebec where he meets voters throughout the province

Notley will campaign in Alberta

British Columbia: 7. Singh enjoys full venues and receptive voters in British Columbia.
 

Quebec: 6. After his better-than-average debate performance, Mulcair has a better-than-average time in Quebec. Though it seems the Quebecois don't understand the cowboy hat Tom dons.

 

Alberta: 2. The NDP forgets to advertise or promote the events, leading to low turnout wherever Notley goes.

 

Overall: 0. The NDP breaks even this turn, with the party's success in BC and Quebec brought down by its bitter failure in Alberta.

Greater Toronto Area: 3. There doesn't seem to be a serious issue which would cause the Green's lagging campaign in the GTA, except for it becoming apparent that all the organizers skipped leg day and really don't want to be out and about building the Green Party's organization in the area.

 

Quebec: 7. Paul's first venture into Quebec goes well, as opposition to Bill 21 proves to be a major point of success for the Green campaign in the province.

 

British Columbia: 2. The campaign flops as low turnout and even a few PPC protests plague the Green events.

 

Overall: -3. The Greens struggle to find success as their campaign falters and their mass success of past seems like a memory.

Quebec: 6. The speech goes well, but it doesn't swing many voters.

 

Alberta: 1! Instead of securing Liberal turnout on election day, Trudeau secures conservative turnout to his event by appearing in Alberta, being forced off stage by angry protestors. 

 

Overall: 0. After a disastrous debate night, the Liberals do not have the turn they needed.

1. Jay Hill holds rally in Riverbend Golf Club, in Edmonton, showing a couple-day-old copy of the Edmonton Sun, mentioning the NDP attack on the Maverick Party, including the term, "'sucks," (OOC note - the Edmonton Sun is big on tabloid-style, screaming headline, sensationalist yellow journalism from a clearly right-wing bias), and smiles and says, "we're finally getting recognition here and starting to seen as a true threat. This is a good thing."

2. Jay Hill conducts mock debate with stuffed animals standing in for the party leaders in the rented Camrose country auction house video-captured for Internet distribution (OOC - oh, the joys of a minor party trying to make a breakthrough), where he, tongue-in-cheek, "participates," in the upcoming debate.

3. Jake Wall - a leadership figure in the WEXIT Saskatchewan (as of 2019, still in the process of organizing into a formal provincial party, which didn't officially happen until March, 2020, when the Buffalo Party of Saskatchewan forms) holds a rally in Moose Jaw talking about Saskatchewan's vast provincial wealth squandered by Federal regulations and Eastern business - and foreign business given full impunity by Ottawa.

Edmonton: 7. The rally goes well, with those in the crowd beginning to truly feel like they're supporting a political party which might just be able to break-out into the mainstream.

 

"Debate": 3. Few people end up watching Hill's "debate" performance, and the video suffers from poor audio quality throughout.

 

Moose Jaw: 9. Wall proves to be an energetic advocate for the Maverick cause, rallying the people of Moose Jaw to the party.

 

Overall: +4. The Mavericks continue to gather steam as their campaign builds its strength.

Bernier then will go to the Beauce where he intends to stay and holds a speech where he states such statements as "The Liberals are the greatest threat to the Canadian nation" and "A vote for the PPC is a vote to save Canada". 

Bernier then just relaxes a bit by helping with the get out the vote operation in the Beauce.

Alberta: 1! Well, Tom sure did show up with cowboy hat. Stumbling on stage, once again showing up drunk to a campaign event, Mulcair would appear in Alberta wearing nothing but his cowboy hat and white underpants, making a mockery of himself and the NDP.

 

Atlantic Canada: 6. Singh is greeted by an adequate number of receptive voters and NDP supporters touring Atlantic Canada.

 

Ontario: 8. Singh campaigns in Ontario to full crowds and voters turning to the NDP as their political home.

And, as an alternative, if that fails, use new icebreaking technology to make Churchill, Manitoba a new terminus and departure point for tankers.

3. An owner of an extreme outdoor sports gear shop in Whitehorse, Yukon who tweets right-wing, libertarian, anti-Federal Government tweets under the Twitter, Instagram, and Facebook handle @YukonStrong says if the Maverick Party pulls a couple percentage points this year, and looks like a contender, he's help fund ("kit out," as he terms it), a candidate for the party in Yukon next election.

Debate: 2. Hill's complaint goes nowhere, leading to doubt he can springboard himself onto the debate stage.

 

Calgary: 9. The bold, innovative ideas coming from Hill's mouth send the private club into applause, as the executives begin writing donations and giving their words of support to the Maverick cause.

 

Yukon: 8. The shop owner's announcement helps gather energy and attention to the Maverick cause.

Second Canadian Federal Election Leaders’ Debate:

Canada's party leaders and party representatives would meet once again for a French language debate on the 8th of September, joining on stage in the first debate officially sponsored by the Leaders' Debates Commission. Heat would flow off stage as the titans of Canadian politics clashed. Meanwhile, the Conservatives(Perhaps worried about O'Toole's low popularity) would join the NDP in sending a representative to the debate rather than their official leader, with Kevin O'Leary representing the Conservatives on stage and Tom Mulcair appearing for his second debate. Here is how the night went.

 

Annamie Paul(10,10,9): +14. The night's winner, by far, was Annamie Paul, who shattered every expectation following her average performance last debate by walking onto the stage and making it hers. Canadians watching at home were moved by Paul's passionate and strong call for environmental action, Anglophones in Quebec saw themselves spoke to by the confident and determined Green leader, and voters rallied in support for Paul and anger towards Trudeau as the Green candidate slammed the PM for his ignorant attitude to the issues of Canada's provinces, especially Quebec. Annamie Paul went on stage and demonstrated why the Greens surged in the initial stages of the election, and walked off with a smile on her face, knowing she had done the job she needed to.

 

Kevin O'Leary(1,10,8): 0. Kevin was an unexpected appearance on the debate stage, and in the end, it seems O'Leary gave a mixed debate performance neither denting nor improving the Conservative position in the race. Starting off with a loud and incomprehensible rant about "putting things back on track" from Trudeau's leadership, Kevin would fumble multiple French phrases and words as he screamed at the top of his lungs about Trudeau's incompetence, turning off most in the audience. Yet, he would miraculously recover from this starting failure, galvanizing suburbanites with his well-crafted rhetoric appealing to them, and exciting conservatives and turning away a few Trudeau-leaning voters by going after the Prime Minister, notably on his promises of increased spending and treatment of COVID, putting on the finishing touch by calling Justin a bozo on stage. But not all would be well, with Trudeau firing back at O'Leary, forcing him to answer for the Conservatives' aggressive campaign, something he did not do well. In the end, Kevin walked off stage with a muddled debate performance likely to have no lasting impact.

 

Tom Mulcair(2,5,4): -4. Tom Mulcair, coming off of another recent scandal involving alcohol, appears to have not been abandoned by the NDP, as he appeared once more on the debate stage representing the party. However, the night would not progress well for Mulcair. He would struggle attempting to attack Trudeau right at the start of the debate, easily being brushed aside by the Prime Minister, would fail to make an impact appealing to anti-Trudeau liberals, and would deliver the NDP's message of change in a tired and disinterested voice. Overall, a poor debate for Mulcair and the NDP.

 

Yves-François Blanchet(6,2,1): -7. Blanchet would be considered one of the primary losers of the night, and for good reason. While he would perform well discussing the health and environmental issues facing Quebec, the Bloc leader would falter the rest of the night, going into a strange, out-of-the-blue rant about how the Canadian government needs to listen to Francophone interests after being asked a question about law enforcement, and being slammed and pushed aside by a confident Annamie Paul after attacking the Green leader for her party's stance on Bill 21. Blanchet walked off stage with a poor and bitter debate performance to his back, sure to hurt the Bloc on their home turf.

 

Justin Trudeau(8,6,1): -8. Justin Trudeau would join Blanchet in the losers' corner of the debate, once again failing to perform well under the weight of multiple attacks. The PM would start the debate with promise, hitting O'Leary for the Conservatives' campaign of fiery attacks, and delivering a succinct message focusing on the Liberals' progress on social issues. However, it would all go downhill from there, as Trudeau, looking as prepped and pampered as ever, began discussing his deep connections to the blue collar, working class of Canada, despite his obvious origins and status of success, making for a media frenzy of mockery and assault over Justin's words on stage. Meanwhile, Trudeau would suffer two blows from his fellow debaters, taking heavy assault from Annamie Paul over his non-attentive attitude to provincial issues, and from O'Leary over his wishes to increase spending and response to COVID. Failing to respond effectively to the two attacks, Trudeau once again slinked off stage knowing a blow to his campaign had been dealt.
