This and referring to everyone on stage as "contestants" were both pretty funny.
Wow. Just silliness. The only residual discussion after the debate is "Did he say 'gay' or 'gagged'?"
Says a lot about the importance of the debate in the overall election.
Think I read some study several years back (probably following the Trump-Clinton one) that concluded almost everyone always perceives their "team's" candidate as having won the debate, and the number of voters swayed by a stellar performance from another candidate is negligible.
Yeah, they're pretty damn pointless...
Except the news media thinks they are, so we will probably continue to have them, if not just for the entertainment value. They fill in some of the 'air time'.
PP is gay, make it known to his shitty conservative voters pls.
They see him as a strongman. You won't have any luck with this.
I think that's why conaervatives like PP but not JT.
Conservatives want to be the bottom so they don't like leaders they can fuck but rather prefer leaders who can fuck them.
He obviously said gagged. It literally sounds more like gagged than gay even if he did mispronounce.
I agree it's obvious he meant to say "gagged", but it absolutely sounds like he said "gay".
Yeah he said it like Gaygd
Holy shit guys. I need to get my security clearance!
Every accusation is a confession...
Seriously, probably meant to say gagged, and failed miserably. I still think it's a shit excuse.
As far as Pierres response, is it okay that the Liberal cabinet encouraged people to ship the opposition off to China to be prosecuted for tweeting against the Chinese government while in Canada, and does it seem like the people with the clearance havent done much to fight the active involvement by China?
You even have his replacement being linked to China which is a little suspicious, makes me what whats up with this riding:
At this point, this clip is the entirety of the debate that I've seen, but I will say two things about this general issue.
If your argument is that his opponents are doing shitty things so it's okay if he does shitty things, take a look through history or south of our border to see how that ends up. And I've never seen Pierre give a real alternative to any issue he's identified, whether those issues are real or not. The few stances he's taken are usually tired conservative agendas that have failed every time they've been tried, yet he drags their mummified remains onto the stage, dusts them off, and pretends that it's a novel idea that will solve the issue it's targeted at with a single step. Mandatory minimum sentencing? This is a primarily punitive measure that ignores the main issues with our prison system, that it is overloaded by people who have little hope for a better future and few options besides crime for anything but the most meager of existences. But sure, longer sentences will fix that. No? Well, at least it's something that can happen in one term. And that's representative of every 'idea' he puts forward. An alternative whose only merit is the thinnest veneer of emotional relief to charged topics and not enough depth or nuance to actually address the problem, let alone solve it.
Did PP's wife (who is present in way too high a percentage of his publicity material) know about this in advance? 🤣
He just took a drink of water too. Imagine if Carney had done a spit take.
Can we get a link?
It's a 17 second video…
Weird, Voyager is just displaying it as an image. Opening it in Firefox linked me to the Imgur video.
My bad!
He needs the Forrest Gump "d" in there.
