Ottawa: Canada Prime Minister Justin Trudeau, faced the potential for defeat in the September 20 election, on Thursday using the main leader debate to aim for his main rival, describing it as weak and ineffective.
Polling shows the conservative party Erin O’Toole has the opportunity to win the election and ended six years of the liberal government.
Trudeau called the sound of two years earlier as a referendum on handling Covid-19 pandemic.
Trudeau, sometimes it looks nervous, rounded several times on O’Toole, who has had difficulty making himself known by Canadians since taking over his party a year ago.
O’Toole said he would offer serious leadership to be cleaned after what he called the Trudeau government that was corrupt, incompetent and disposeant.
Trudeau accused O’Toole hiding an extremist agenda and not serious on topics such as climate change.
Trudeau also supports the mandate to ensure people are inoculated against Covid-19, a step that O’Toole said too far.
“Problems with Mr.
O’Toole and the principles are, he said everything that was really heard and he was working convincing everyone that he was there as a strong leader, but he could not convince his candidates to be vaccinated,” said Trudeau.
.
Polling shows O’Toole with a slight advantage in the midst of unhappiness with the decision of Trudeau to mention the election early.
Leadership debate is the only one of three in English, which was spoken by two-thirds of 38 million Canadians, and traditionally seen as the main way to influence voters.
Trudeau spoke over four other party heads several times, forcing the moderator to cut it.
“Trudeau began to look frustrated with the format and he was too excited by talking too fast (and) attentively,” Tweeted Scott Reid, spokesman’s head for the former Liberal Prime Minister Paul Martin.
Trudeau likes to note that the beginning of this year most conservative parliamentarians chose for the design of legislation which would ban several abortions.
The initiative failed.
O’Toole insisted he was responsible for his party and would not submit to the view of the legislator with a hard social view.
“I drove a bus to make sure we got this country back to track.
And I am here to defend the rights of all Canadians, women, members of the LGBTQ community,” he said.
O’Toole admitted that in the past, conservatives had not done enough to fight greenhouse gas emissions.
“This is an area where conservatives must win back trust.
We have not fulfilled the expectations of Canadians about climate change,” he said.
Before the debate, O’Toole received a boost when Quebec Premier Francois Legault said the sound for conservatives would be better than one for the liberals.
Quebec accounts for 78 out of 338 seats at the House of Commons and is very important for every office looking for parties.
An Ekos telephone poll rolling three days from 1,365 adults released on Thursday showed a conservative at 33.6% public support, versus 30.7% for liberal and 15.7% for smaller new Democrats.
Polling has a margin of error 2.7 percentage points, 19 times out of 20.
