English Debate: Federal Leaders

Eaders Dept: The immediate aftermath of Tuesday night's English-language debate had each of the l eaders' camps spin that their candidate emerged from the two-hour debate victorious, according to CBC. The French-language debate will raise the profile of Quebec issues specifically. It will also shift some of the spotlight onto Bloc Qu b cois Leader Gilles Duceppe, who holds the most seats in Quebec. The other party leaders will be seeking to siphon off some of the Bloc's support as they try to cut into his grip on the majority of Quebec's seats and the French-language leaders' debate on Wednesday night will give Canadian voters a final chance to see the four federal leaders quarrelling over the election's top issues. The four party leaders will use the French-language debate to articulate their competing visions in the campaign. The English debate saw the leaders trade rhetorical barbs on a variety of issues, including corporate taxes, health care and the auditor general's leaked draft report into spending at the G8/G20 summit. As reported in the news.
