NDP leader Jagmeet Singh complains he has had the least speaking time in the French debate.
MONTREAL — Liberal Leader Mark Carney attempted to remain above the fray in the face of a French debate pile-on by his three main political rivals Wednesday evening, returning over and over to his main pitch to voters, that he’s the leader to confront Donald Trump in a time of crisis.
Carney and his closest opponent, Conservative Leader Pierre Poilievre, tried to adopt prime ministerial detachment while New Democratic Party Leader Jagmeet Singh and Bloc Québécois Leader Yves-François Blanchet aggressively grilled the Liberal leader on issues ranging from the war in Gaza to an alleged bias in favour of Ontario and a failure to hike jobless benefits.
