Justin Trudeau: Conservative Leader Stephen Harper will look for it with the help of the Great One, holding an event with hockey icon Wayne Gretzky in Toronto, according to Hamilton Spectator. The NDP Tom Mulcair will head to Saskatchewan, home of party hero Tommy Douglas — the late premier often invoked during the campaign as proof balanced budgets and bold social programs can co-exist. Now the party leaders will fan out across the country again, each hoping for that elusive spurt of campaign momentum. Liberal Leader Justin Trudeau will return to his hometown of Montreal, trying to wrest back seats from the NDP. The three staked their ground on economic issues during the Globe and Mail-hosted debate Thursday, but also took their shots on social policies such as immigration, child care and housing. And much of the debate was like an extended political commercial with the messages the leaders wanted to convey. "It clearly contrasted the styles and approaches the leaders are going to take on this question, but I'm not certain when an undecided voter is watching this, that they have enough information at this point to make a decision," said pollster David Coletto, CEO of Abacus Data. "If anything, if a leader successful they've framed it in a certain way, now that voter going to be looking ahead to see how they fill it in going forward." Mulcair in particular seemed focused on using the time to communicate certain core points — his personal and professional background, his promise not to run deficits, and the general theme that his party is prudent and middle-of-the-road. For Canadians who didn't watch the debate, carefully chosen clips and quotes will have been mined overnight by the respective parties for use in Facebook posts, tweets, fundraising appeals and commercials.
