Canada’s federal leaders are gearing up for a high stakes English-language debate on April 17th as they battle it out to prove why they are the best candidate to lead the country. Liberal Leader Mark Carney, Conservative Leader Pierre Poilievre, NDP leader Jagmeet Singh, and Bloc Quebecois leader Yves-François Blanchet are all expected to attend the debate, each making their case to be Canada’s next prime minister.
However, the Green Party co-leader Jonathan Pedneault has been disqualified from participating in both events after the party strategically reduced the number of candidates running in the election. This development adds another layer of intrigue to an already intense debate.
The pressing issues facing Canadians, along with the ongoing trade war with the U.S., are expected to be hot topics of discussion during the debate. With so much at stake, the leaders will have to present their plans and visions for the country in a compelling and persuasive manner in order to win over voters.

Mark Carney, 'I wasn't the economic advisor for the bad parts!'. LOL. Sit down.
Pierre Poilievre, Blanchet, Carney, Jagmeet
Take a good look at all of our abusers. Finding any way to pocket money, or deal it out to their friends. Set up government backed monopolies and allow them to buy up all the competition. These people only pretend to represent Canada.
I don't think Mr. Poilievre even realizes that Europe no longer uses Russian oil and gas.
Because Mr. Poilievre's kingdom is the house of commons and he has no clue about what's going on in the rest of the world.
Watch Rebel news for accurate none government funded reporting.
I don't understand how anyone can still vote liberal or NDP, that just blows my mind. Also, Singh needs to wait his turn and stop butting in, it just makes him look like a blubbering fool out there.
Carney did not answer what the liberals used the 60 Billion dollars they collected from the QBC government. Shame on him 😕
I can’t believe all this Poilievre support.
Such a shame the NDP keep getting invited to these when they don't have a chance of winning and are a joke of a party. Same could be said for the Bloq. Carney looked stupid as well.
Post debate scrum cancelled. Socialist one party rule. So sad for Canada and the Canadian people.
We are screwed if this is our future leadership
Pierre is absolutely right with regard to energy. The Liberals made it impossible for us to sell energy to Europe. Europe currently sends more money to Russia for energy than it does funding Ukraine. Canada could be profiting from that and it takes funding away from the Russian military.
"lets go with my record, Ive been prime minster a month" lol guys been the main financial advisor for the last 5 years. how anyone can have a red sign in there yard is beyond me. give your heads a shake liberals.
Jagmeet needs to STFU and let the actual prospects talk. Cant help himself but interrupt
Hate to admit it but PP won the debate and was the most impressionable. Carney fell flat and had to defend the whole time.
Doesnt matter who wins trump is coming in may 2025 nothing can stop him not even our natinal anthem 😂😂😂😂 51st state 🇨🇦 🇺🇸 ❤❤❤ cant wait 😉
carney will fail canada if he doesn't allow pipelines… green tax scam
Jagmeet Singh always talking over Pierre; he has no basic manners…
Pierre will get us on track so long as we in the east wake up.
Pierre: clear, specific plans on how he will better Canada
Carney: general fluff words with no actual plan + copies Pierre's ideas where sees fit
Voting conservative tomorrow
Singh was banned from india his own country due to terrorism thats why he tryna make canada indua
I’m expecting the latest Nanos Poll .. “Who won the English Debate”. Carney (51%), Pierre (23%) Singh (21%) Blanchette (5%)
I’m beyond speechless right now!
quit repeating yourself carney… what will you do about pipelines
No question about it… liberals are absolutely toxic for Canada & Canadians. No thanks Dildeau 2.0 Carney, not going to happen. 🙅♂️
Anyone voting for the Liberals have to be the rich because no one in the working class who struggled to get by for a decade would vote for another 4 years of liberal misery.
