Perception Vs: Liberals and Bernard Derible

caley: Everything you need to know about presidential debates In debate between Clinton, Trump, moderators will be judged, too Caley compares that campaign of "fear" to the one run by the Conservatives in the last election, one he characterizes as having "pitted neighbour against neighbour," with its proposed barbaric cultural practices tip line, among other policy positions, according to CBC. He writes that Conservative leadership candidates Kellie Leitch, Tony Clement and Brad Trost, are trying to "stoke the same fears and anxieties." "This kind of negative, divisive politics builds walls between Canadians — and it shows us all how much is at stake," Caley said. "Let make sure that in Canada, positive politics isn't up for debate."​ Trudeau graces the world stage as Canada has a moment: Aaron Wherry How Kellie Leitch and Justin Trudeau are defining themselves on immigration Bill Gates says Trudeau approach to immigration, refugees good for business Another Liberal fundraising email sent over the weekend by party president Anna Gainey similarly sought to align some Conservative leadership contenders with Trump and presented the Liberals as a bulwark against this type of politics. "If the world recent experience has made one thing crystal clear, it that we all have a vital role to play in stopping this rhetoric from becoming reality," she wrote in an email titled "Anti-Canadian," a reference to Leitch proposal to screen prospective immigrants for troublesome values. Although the email does not refer to either of the U.S. candidates by name, it characterizes the U.S. campaign as a choice between opposing values — and leaves no doubt about which side the Liberal Party is on. "A fundamental choice will be on display tonight south of the border, when two U.S. presidential candidates go toe to toe in the first presidential debate — and many of the themes might be familiar to you. "Hope or fear Diversity or division Openness and inclusion, or turning our backs on the world " writes Braeden Caley, the director of communications for the Liberal Party, in the fundraising email to supporters. Leitch has sent out her own fundraising emails hitting back at the criticism lobbed at her for proposing the controversial measure and for posing for a Maclean magazine cover with the headline "Are You Canadian Enough " What a plan to screen immigrants says about the country—and the leadership hopeful who suggested it https://t.co/Dy5RV8TyuR @Macleans Mag "Do you know what has them so upset It is because I'm proudly holding a Canadian flag! That right, the self-hating Canadian elites can't stand the idea of a proud conservative standing up for Canada and Canadian values," Leitch said of critics. "First of all, because they don't believe there are such things as Canadian values, and secondly because they don't think our values are best in the world. The better angels of American nature' Trudeau has been asked explicitly about a Trump presidency, and why he hasn't gone to greater lengths to condemn Trump rhetoric about Muslims, Mexicans and other minorities. "I respect the American electoral process," Trudeau said in an interview with Rosemary Barton for CBC New Network Power & Politics in March. "I have faith in what Lincoln referred to as 'the better angels of American nature' and I am looking forward to who I am going to work with after Nov. 4." "The machinery of government and the depth and complexity of the relationship between our two countries goes far beyond any two personalities in office at any given time." NDP Leader Tom Mulcair has been critical of Trudeau for not condemning Trump. "I will not hesitate to point out the fact that Mr. Well I think that nonsense," she wrote to supporters.
