Canada election: Sparks fly in 1st French-language leaders debate


Global News in Canada shows that four of Canada’s party leaders squared off Thursday night for their first televised debate in the federal election campaign, with the COVID-19 pandemic and vaccinations taking centre stage.

The French-language debate featured Liberal Leader Justin Trudeau, Conservative Leader Erin O’Toole, NDP Leader Jagmeet Singh and Bloc Québécois Leader Yves-François Blanchet, who were on stage at the TVA network in Montreal.

It involved a series of face-to-face encounters between two people at a time, which led to longer and fiery exchanges. The event came midway through the campaign, as leaders hope to snap up votes before the election Sept. 20.

Global's Mike Le Couteur has details.
