I was so impressed by the quality of the #Liberal candidates in last nights #LiberalDebate that I had a really tough time ranking my ballot this morning. But I went with @markcarney2025.bsky.social first and @karinagould.bsky.social second. #canada #neverPP
If politicians ignore research we pay for, why do we research anything in Canada?
Serious question.
Can’t blame Trudeau for not paying for another national commission, it’d be ignored.
The last commission had tones of nationalizing for a reason.

The fact that Mark Carney is the least proficient French language speaker amongst the Liberal candidates is irrelevant when it comes to the issues at stake and overall qualifications for the job. #cdnpoli #LiberalDebate
Carney was doing so well in the polls—he’s coming out of this debate looking like a progressive conservative 🤦♀️ ugh 😑
Been there, done that.
I want proposals like Gould that focus on those most in need—not neoliberalism rebranded as progressive-by-comparison.
#cdnpoli #liberals #liberaldebate
Best line of the night goes to #markcarney @MarkJCarney #carney #debate #liberaldebate re #trump #donaldtrump
#LiberalDebate
My opinion...
Winner:
C. Freeland
2nd:
K. Gould
Why won't Poilievre do the same? No Canadian should vote for any candidate who refuses this process.

Wow! What a breath of fresh air seeing a political debate with intelligent, respectful, determined leaders, all of them. I'm so used to fear, bigotry, ignorance and smear. #liberaldebate
One other thing missing from tonight’s Liberal debate? No questions about international issues, Ukraine, German election, Palestine…
No real hot button issues.
#canpoli #Liberaldebate
Frank Baylis, born and raised in Montreal. Speaks worse French than I do. Says "ideas" as "idee-ers" like some slack jawed yokel. And generally seems like an autonomous being, with nothing valuable to say. #CanPoli #LiberalDebate #LiberalParty
Carney's closing statement was the best thing he said all evening
#LiberalDebate
#cdnpoli
Mark Carney reading from a paper he keeps looking down and then pauses.
#Liberaldebate #Canada
The English Liberal Leadership debate was mostly civil, except for Karina Gould, who aggressively criticized the other candidates' plans. In contrast, the other candidates mainly presented their visions or targeted Poilievre instead. #CDNpoli #liberal #liberaldebate #liberalleadership
I didn't understand Freeland's closing statement. Is she running for leader or for co-leader with the three other candidates? Gould's was much much better
#LiberalDebate
#cdnpoli
One thing about #liberaldebate , I like everyone. They do share great values.
Why is corporate🇨🇦 and CBC so scared shitless of Freeland?
#LiberalDebate. #FreelandFerocity
Frank Bayliss I will be focused on Wealth Creation and Wealth Distribution to get more money in the CDN people's pockets.
#Liberaldebate #Canada
Now Karina Gould endorses PM JT Indigenous policy with FN.
Again I ask why did some Liberal party members call for for PM JT to resign. Why. 😡
#Liberaldebate
Chrystia just brought up Indigenous ownership of natural resources and their development. Good. #cdnpoli #LiberalDebate
I can't listen to him in this #LiberalDebate he talks slowly and stops. After. Every two. Words. Sounds like he's not sure what to say (which is obviously not true)
None of them get the issues w/ the health system.
Japan out ranks & outperforms us on the FAX AND we’ve blown billions on Infoway / HIS’s
#liberaldebate
#cdnpoli
Need a citizens assembly to determine jurisdiction.
I listen to this & I don’t feel like voting.
Vote X for private, Y for public…
Freeland is outperforming Carney. Gould has the best messaging. But none of them seem good enough in this #LiberalDebate
#cdnpoli
Freeland under PM Trudeau's leadership that our economy is growing why emissions are down. That PM Trudeau was the first PM of Canada to really MOVE the Dial.
(snip) Tell CDNS again why Freeland and others called for Trudeau to resign.
#Liberaldebate
Is Freeland just praising Trudeau up there? Complimenting his carbon tax? That won’t go over well. #cdnpoli #liberaldebate
Isn’t it lovely to watch a political debate where the ideas and plans are the primary focus and candidates aren’t being assaulted by their competitors? Politics should be an honourable job &watching this debate restores my faith in government #canada #liberaldebate #never51
I think Carney and Gould have better plans for healthcare. Accountability for the Premiers to their citizens. It's nice to see they all support universality. #cdnpoli #LiberalDebate
Cost of living at the #LiberalDebate
Sorry but this is a little frustrating actually...
The liberals have been in power for 9 years. They created the worst debt in Canada's history.
They did not have solutions to the cost of living.
At least Freeland recognized that they need to do better.
🙄
Moments after Liberals around him reminisce about the Chrétien and Martin years, Frank Baylis says government need to get back into public housing?
Chrétien & Martin killed public housing! @markcarney2025.bsky.social
#LiberalDebate
Baylis: Capitalism has created a housing crisis, so we need to double down on it and try harder at capitalism to solve it 🤦🏻♂️
