Did you catch it? When #Carney asked PP why he didn’t have a security clearance? After a long-winded answer, Carney looked directly at PP & indicated it was more than a China problem & left the rest hanging implying PP knew why. I suspect the India interference in the last Conservative leadership campaign when Brown (another candidate) was suddenly tossed had something to do with PP’s win. #elxn45 #englishDebate #cdnpoli

lols. CBC: Post-debate news scrum cancelled over safety concerns ...
... says Leaders Debate Commish after accrediting rw nutters & 3rd party advocacy groups as journos bc they didn't know they were registered as 3rd party groups. #Elxn45

Consider that last night RebelNews got to pose the majority of questions to the leaders inside the venue while having a box truck outside sporting nonsense about WEF.

As Ezra said before the French debate last night : "We're going to make it our debate."

The only shift I see coming out of the debates is maybe a little boost for the NDP - PP certainly did not gain, likely lost some waverers, Carney likely gained some

Now it's a question of turnout, which is expected to be high. People know this is a consequential election - and the ground game of the parties.

Advanced voting begins Friday, get out and vote!!

‘Twas the night before advance polls
And throughout the district
Not an RO could sleep
While they packed, planned, & panicked.

The lists of electors had been printed with care
In the hopes that calm voters soon would be there

DROs nestled all snug in their beds
While visions of democracy danced in their heads.

New RegOs with forms and IOs with smiles
CPSes with clipboards, & VIC cards in piles

When outside the polling station
There arose such a clatter
I sprang from my checklist…

As I replay different moments from the leader’s debate there’s one part that my brain keeps circling back to: there was a moment when Carney was talking about Poilievre’s refusal to obtain a security clearance, and in rebuttal to Poilievre’s claim that it would prevent him from speaking on issues of election interference, Carney purposely, directly mentions Chinese interference and then makes a remark directly to Poilievre about interference from other countries, before discontinuing the attack by saying “I’ll leave it at that”.

Did anyone else catch that?

Debates Commission has cancelled the post-debate scrums after this English leaders debate. This cancellation follows an altercation prior to the debate involving Rebel News and other journalists. #elxn45

🚨 With the debates happening in Montreal, we took a key opportunity to turn up the heat on Poilievre, who has vowed to stand by residential school denialist Aaron Gunn. Poilievre is there right now, along with journalists and staffers—and our message is impossible to miss! #elxn45 #debate
