Much like when Jack Layton was their leader, it wont matter much, even if he did well on the debate. A couple provinces have had NDP leadership (NS included, where I am) and it didn't go too well. I didn't vote NDP back then and I sure am not voting NDP this time, even if I like Mr Singh.
I personally cannot stand Scheer. He's a smug little man who spends more time talking about Trudeau than what he will do for me. I truly wish that Rhona Ambrose had stayed on as Conservative leader. I really liked her and if she was still there as leader, this race would probably already be over. I think it's Scheer himself who's keeping this race close, and I don't mean that in a good way. Who doesn't have a platform out with two weeks before the election? Oh ya, Scheer. So basically he's just spewing crap left right and center. We have nothing in writing from him. And I agree with Elizabeth May when she told him last night that the 25% Foreign Spending cuts is the worst part of his "platform". I hate the idea of sending tax payers money out to other countries, but it's a necessary evil in the global market. We are already well below our expected amount going out and he wants to cut more? Trump 2.0 and it scares the hell out of me if he gets in.
Trudeau is a turd. While he's kept a big chunk of his promises, he's also fallen short on so many other things. What he really needs to do is look into the camera, tell Canadians he messed up on some things and he will do better. I truly believe most Canadians want him to be successful in running this country and are forgiving. Hard to say if they will forgive for the past four years or not.
I am really undecided on my vote. I know who I am NOT giving it to, but really struggling on who to give it to. I don't like any of them. I don't trust any of them. This is not good.
You summarize a lot of what Canadians people think.
I'm from Quebec and I would say that a lot of people will lean to the "Bloc Québécois" because of this situation (not my case, being a federalist)
I'm a conservative and will probably vote for them "by default" because of their economical point of view (but disagree with their right point of view of abortion, immigration, etc)
I just can't vote for Trudeau because he is a big joke and is putting us in a lot of debt in the last 4 years in a "good" economical period. What will happen in a recession?!? I really don't care about his "blackface-gate" but will never forget him for the SNC Lavalin scandal, it's a criminal situation and he must be accountable for that.
