Leaders debate English 2019


Scheer was outstanding in as much as he shouted down his opponents continually. Other than that the typical Conservative name-calling.

Trudeau was just too polite in the face of the onslaught.  He covered 
SNC-Lavalin well enough did what he had to do to save 4600 jobs at risk going through the court system.   Trudeau won on points, Scheer won on shouting down his opponents, crude rude and desperate.  He passed lightly on Bill C69 which the Conservatives are trying to kill as a means to ending the Trans Mountain expansion.  If this happens, we lose 47 billion dollars a year in tax money, part of our CPP investments and the natives will lose their investments.

Francois Blanchet was a welcome surprise.  He gave up a lot of particulars on  PQ.  That province is on Hydro Electricity, the lowest carbon footprint of all.  They stand to make a lot of money in cap and trade deals, which they are doing now with California.

California uses two antiquated coal smokers for their power.   They however have these slated to go out in 2025.  This means their cap and trade deal with PQ won't be paying so well.  So, Mr Blanchet has suggested a cap and trade deal with the rest of Canada as a means of lowering our emissions as a country.  He went so far as to say they would do away with transfer payments if the rest of Canada would put up the cap and trade agreements.

The power company in California owns the coal mines in the Appellations where the fuel comes from. This change to natural gas is troublesome for Trump. 

Elizabeth May  was off on another moon shot with  Jagmeet Singh  on  killing the Trans Mountain Expansion.   They don't seem to recognize if we do not ship our oil into the market place, the US and 10 other nations will do so.   The Expansion is not adding to the climate crisis, in fact, the money from it 47 billion dollars in tax revenue, is needed to produce a green outcome!  Justin Trudeau reminded her of this and was shouted down by May shrilling on about extinctions.

In total the gold star goes to Jagmeet Singh on a quick response and accurate uptakes.
