‘Trudeau is not here’: Federal leaders try to put the past behind them
Global News
Three of those leaders tried to connect Liberal Leader Mark Carney to former prime minister Justin Trudeau, while Carney tried to distance himself from his predecessor's legacy.
If the ballot box question is change, Canadians were treated to four federal leaders Thursday night promising this time will be different.
Three of those leaders did everything they could to connect Liberal Leader Mark Carney to former prime minister Justin Trudeau, while Carney did his best to distance himself from his predecessor’s legacy.
“Justin Trudeau isn’t here,” Carney said during a tense exchange with Conservative Leader Pierre Poilievre.
“The way you judge someone, in my view, is how they act. What they do when they have responsibility.”
Carney entered into the night as the clear frontrunner, and that was reflected in the attention he got from Poilievre, NDP Leader Jagmeet Singh and Bloc Québecois Leader Yves-François Blanchet. He needed to avoid mistakes to protect the Liberal lead in national polling.
But his rivals were unwilling to let the newly-minted prime minister shed the legacy of a decade of Liberal rule.
Poilievre, who spent years laying track to fight an election against Trudeau and the carbon tax — two issues now off the table for the electorate — entered into the night as the underdog despite his party having led in national polls for months.
Poilievre was keen to connect Carney’s economic advisory role to Trudeau’s legacy.
