The National is CBC Television's flagship news program. Airing seven days a week, the show delivers news, feature documentaries and analysis from some of Canada's leading journalists.
Peter Mansbridge is easily the best person in Canada to conduct these interviews. He's doing a fantastic job.
+Mick Biggins the absolute best in the biz. firm but fair and doesn't just accept rhetoric which is always so prevalent in politics
Indeed! I love that he bores down at times when he doesn't get a real answer, despite not getting a real answer a second time in some cases. He's also showing the least amount of bias I've seen in political interviews. Positively brilliant.
+Mick Biggins
I am so very glad he did this. The three interviews, with deliberate *similar questions,* were perfect for gaining comparative perspective on the PM candidates.
The *_TV debate_* was a piece of fecal matter.
he's also next in line for the senate , that hope would end under a mulcair government..
+Mick Biggins He's a blatant Liberal. VERY unprofessional. He should remain neutral and impartial when anchoring, but he doesn't. I've filed an official complaint against him and stopped watching CBC news.
THIS is a Prime Minister.
+Deagle yes you do seem to lean that way kinda thought you were a fudge packer but good to see you admit it.
+Fiona McMurran That will ruin Canada.
+kyle6047 more than Harpo already has?
+Fiona McMurran Then we'll all be speaking Aramiac and going to mass three times a day.
+Fiona McMurran Yeah, letting 30,000 muslims in without security papers is a good idea.
Great interview. Thoughtful. Strong. PM in waiting.
Give this guy a medal for having the balls to admit fighting ISIS is a ruse.
+Deagle A few points here:
1.You know who else holds public executions? Saudi Arabia. Why are we not bombing them as well? Money and hypocrisy that's why.
2.Do you know what actions actually gave isis any actual power? The illegal war in Iraq, that ousted one gov't and all of it's generals while installing another. The other went on to alienate over half of the Iraqi population, causing said generals to join Isis. Therefore, no illegal war no isis. Bombing people only causes more hatred and more extremism, as proven by the last fifteen years of bombing. Hundreds of thousands of innocents killed tends to breed hatred.
Ok, firstly I have a feeling you must be a troll because I have a hard time believing ANYBODY is this stupid. And If you are please cancel your internet plan, as you are too dumb to be trusted with the responsibility of commenting anywhere.
The first Iraq war, which was justified as Iraq invaded Kuwait happened 25 years ago. Let me say that again 25 years ago. The SECOND and illegal war based on lies and deceit began in 2003. That war was considered unwarranted and against the values of said U.N. And was supported by next to nobody other that Britain as the other major offender. During the SECOND Iraq war the U.N estimates that the lowest number of civilian casualties was 200,000 people. With a more realistic number set at 500,000 innocents killed. After the U.S "coalition of the willing" Ousted Saddam, most of the generals in his army were recruited by a new offshoot of al queda named I.S.I.S. The recruitment was made easy after them watching an entire generation of innocent civilians killed by U.S bombs. These are FACTS, deal with them as opposed to spinning them like a typical conservative to justify your racism and hatred of an entire people. You cannot just say FACTS are pointless, as they are facts, your argument is pointless. moron.
You have the NERVE to call me a terrorist, all the while spewing vitriolic filth throughout this thread? With such witty comeback farther up as "dick balls" moron.While I'm suggesting that we show compassion, you think "Fuck em'" and I'm the terrorist here? You are a moron, and un-canadian as they come. This country is built on the sweat and tears of immigrants and refugees. You and your ilk are less Canadian than many of the new Canadians I've had the pleasure of meeting. You sir are the one that needs to do Canada a favor and GET THE FUCK OUT! You sir are an embarrassment to Canada.
Oh and at what point did I say I was voting for the N.D.P
+Deagle Just as I thought, a very in depth and thought provoking response. I especially like the part where you misspelled flushed. But thanks for handing me such an easy victory, I didn't figure you had any intelligent arguments or rebuttals in you. Its saved me a lot of time :)
+Deagle Actually you're easier ;) I at least have to think before rebutting any of her arguments.
+Deagle I am not sure if you can read but Canada did not take part in the war in Iraq that removed Saddam . Be best if you just went back to short stupid comments as you obviously don't know fuck all about anything.
He comes across much better than Trudeau and especially Harper. NDP this election for sure.
I like Mulcair because he doesnt flip flop. He gives you his clear stance on every issue regardless of whether some people might not like it. Plus he represents the average Canadian and not just rich people and big corporations like Harper. I dont mind Trudeau but hes just not as clear on where he sits, and voting for bill C51 is damn near unforgivable. Mulcair wants all the things that Canada needs. We need to raise taxes on the wealthiest corporations, we need to switch to sustainable energy, we need to start being a leader again in development and manufacturing. We need to stop liquidating our raw resources to other countries and giving them the refining jobs. These things couldnt be more clear and Mulcair is advocating for them so hes got my vote.
+ziggy4242 Oh I have to disagree, Mulcair doesn't really commit to anything, he doesn't even have a finance minister chosen. Mulcair wants to open up the constitution, that is a whole can of worms, he believes in keeping many of the things that Harper has put in place that continues to give the wealthiest of Canadians help they do not need. He has no plan to lower taxes for the middle class, he has no plan to stop sending cheques to those who have children and make over 200K per year. The $15 daycare plan for one has to be agreed upon by all the provinces and it will not be going to many who work shift work and make minimum wage. There is not a daycare out there that will be open 24/7 and those who make 200K will also be entitled to $15 daycare? His minimum wage plan is deceitful, it only applies to about 1% of those that presently make minimum wage, he can not enforce $15 minimum wage nationally.
He won't even commit to being a Canadian. IF he was born into dual citizenship that would be different but he CHOOSES to be dual, NO leader of any country should be swearing allegiance to another country. His wife ran under the Conservative banner in France, his office refuses to deny or confirm if he voted in that election? What spouse would not vote for their spouse?
He has a campaign plane, did he bother to lease his plane from Bombardier, the company he was swearing he would help if he's elected? Nope he is using an airbus manufactured in FRANCE??? Seriously he says one thing and then does the opposite of what he claims he wants to do? You do not say you're going to help a Canadian company and then order your campaign plane from a foreign country and surprise, surprise, it's from His Chosen country.
I seriously considered voting for Mulcair, I did vote for Layton but not a chance I will vote for Mulcair after months of research, he is NOT committed to Canada, he is only committed to gaining power and will stop at nothing to achieve that goal. Mark my words, he will take his cushy pension and fly off to France and put it into the French economy once he is done here.
+kodiak You obviously haven't looked into the Liberal's policies... "His smile and hairdo". The Con propaganda worked, even NDP supporters use it...
endpotprohibition Well propaganda is one thing the Conservatives are actually good at.. Unfortunately then you end up with all the weak-minded fools believing everything he says.
+ziggy4242 What's wrong with bill C51? Like, so what if some Torrie wants to listen in on what I ate for breakfast. Seriously, what have you got to say that makes you so concerned that some stranger is listening in? Something you maybe shouldn't be talking about in the first place? People splatter their lives all over social media, and then whine and complain about bill C51. Makes no sense.
ChyloeReece Its not even the matter of privacy or having something to hide, its the fact that its not bloody necessary. Why waste time and money on this? Canada has way bigger issues than terrorism. Terrorism isnt even a friggen problem here. There are infinitely more deaths caused by poor diet, car accidents, allergies, anything you can think of that kills a few people a year is more of a threat to Canadians than terrorism. Its just a stupid tactic by the Conservative government to distract Canadians, divide them against eachother over something irrelevant, and create fear to give the government more power. Harper's buddies with the Tobacco lobbyists, how many people a year does tobacco kill? Hes such a hypocrite. He doesnt give a shit about any of us.
I miss Mulcair. An honest, decent leader. Hard to find that in parliament now
I'm pretty convinced that Mulcair's the top choice right now. He breezed through these tough questions, much better than Trudeau and Harper.
He's so much more knowledgeable than Trudeau. Trudeau cam across like a puppet who just follows his parties talking parts and really has trouble answering any follow up questions asked by Mansbridge.
+Blair Claxton he did a better job for sure but pulling all the troops is a no go. And Harper has to go so Liberal it will be.
+Carl Ball Are you honestly scared of terrorists in your everyday life? You're more likely to die in a car crash than an attack by ISiS. Canada never got involved in this BS before Harper there is no reason we can't go back to our past role. Let the US fight them.
+Blair Claxton I have never ever stated a fear of terrorists, in fact quite the opposite. As to not being involved prior to Harper that is wrong as well. The Liberals were in power when we went to Afghanistan. There are 62 countries involved in the fight with ISIS. To withdraw completely is the wrong move. I think we can stop our part in the air war but need to be involved with training local troops in the region. This is not a world were we can just ignore them and hope they go away nor should we expect other countries to do all the work. That has never been what Canada has done.
+Carl Ball Big difference though Afghanistan was a UN Sanctioned. mission. Isis is an American led mission. We should only be involved in UN missions not American ass kissing ones.
+Deagle I think you were trying to say " "You're" fucking stupid "too" bad you "were" not on one of those Muslim planes that burned down the trade towers as you are expendable. And by the way , you stupid historian, the Liberals "were" in power then. So blame all the terrorist activities "on" those ass clowns. Harper is mopping up their mess while they only want to bring more terrorist fucking scum "into" Canada by the 10's of thousands to build their voter base up. Perhaps I get lucky and they settle in your NDP/Liberal neighborhood where you all hold hands and dance with unicorns and butterflies."
Anyways, the Muslim population in Canada has doubled under Harper's power and he also supports bringing in thousands of Syrians (middle eastern people are conservative as shit so why would left wing parties want them?). I don't know why you are trying to blame September 11 on the Canadian Liberal party when that was clearly Bush's fault (I don't even like the Liberal Party either i'm just saying). Also, Al Qaeda never gave a fuck about Canada because for the most part we minded our own business. It's funny that you talk about the Liberal and NDP only wanting to bring in Muslims to extend their voter base when you support a guy who threatens terrorists in hope that they'll attack us in retaliation so it'll promote his fear mongering agenda (Don't kid yourself Harper would like nothing more than a terrorist attack right about now to help him win the election). You're literally eating out of Harper's hand and you don't even fucking realize it. Remember when Canada didn't constantly talk shit and terrorists ignored us? Canada's is in no position to act tough like Harper tries to, our weak ass army and outdated equipment would get us annihilated by almost anyone.
Social democratic parties all the way. but imo, all parties should have free tuition and raise the minimum wage.
+ranger123789 NO THANKS
***** why not?
You want better health coverage, go buy private insurance. Don't ask everyone else pay out of their own pockets too to pay for Angry Tom's migrant invasion.
+52percent migrants they are not. Try to at least sound slightly educated.
+52percent you do know we are the only civilized country with publicly funded health insurance that does not cover drugs?
Much better than Trudeaus interview
+Ava Casey yes it was yet I like the Liberal platform better.
If harper wins again (which I think he will), I'm illegally moving to the US.
+Ava Casey I don't think there is much danger of him being Prime Minister after the election. So you should not have to move. But on the very slim chance he slid in a minority position he would not likely be in power long as I don't think Mulcair or Trudeau would vote with him at least it would be very surprising and disappointing if they did. I just hope they will work together as I think they will have to do.
Carl Ball
I hope you're right
+Deagle just a little ball of love ain't ya? But what kind of love?
He is a decent man and the only hope that Canada has at the moment.
Couldn't ask for a better performance than this!
I suspect that the Conservatives are going to lose, not because the Conservatives are terrible people, but because Stephen Harper overstayed his welcome. Justin Trudeau is a famous for being famous pretty boy that knows/understands very little. I'm going to vote for Mulcair, but Harper would be a second choice. Yes, Justin Trudeau is that bad.
My exact thoughts
+elton john I thought that Justin Trudeau was famous for being a politician, the leader of the Liberal Party of Canada and potential future prime minister. Is there some kind of porn star you're a fan of with the same name or something?
+elton john I do not agree.
+elton john Trudeau knows very little I agree. He is a talker but generalizes and you know he is talking BS. Mulcare is talking BS as well saying all the wonders he will do. Letting in a bunch of migrant possible ISIS infiltrators is not the answer. We need the rules of immigration we have in place followed. Mulcare would say anything to get elected just like he was accused of in this interview.
+Murray Donovan what the hell planet do you live on. Paying down our deficit?? Where did you get that one from. Such outright lies from you conservatives. He is saying the budget will be balanced but based on his track record of deficits every year since he been in power and this being an election budget I do not believe him. He lies like a rug about everything else so what would be different about this. I am not sure if you are paid or blind but either way paying down the deficit is a lie.
I'm glad Peter didn't go light on Mulcair and I'm glad Mulcair gave good answers that show the NDP has clearly thought about what has to happen in Canada.
I really liked Tom, shame he didn't become PM, or even retain the NDP's official opposition status. :(
I'm ready for change.
I have to admit Mulcair has impressed me far greater than Trudeau has.
I like Tom Mulcair he's got my vote hands down.
Mulcair 2015 and if I could vote in the states Saunders 2016. The parties of future.
Very convincing.
He's got my vote too, mainly because of his position on the crises in Syria... We are not and do not want to be a WAR nation...
+Nick Maliha But we to be a refugee nation?
+n mn If Germany and other countries can do it, so can we. Canada is a nation that promotes humanity and peace. Don't forget Canada was built on the basis of immigration who brought in money to the country and provided their services.
Malhar Memon I don`t agree to the policy of open borders.Canada will become middle east.Sharia law, beheading suicide bombing.All this is happening in Europe.Yes a soldier was beheaded in the streets of London in broad daylight.
Malhar Memon The European immigrants were founders of this country.They built this country.I dont expect the same from middle east people who dont wanna shed their medievel practices like burqa niqab gender segregation eye for an eye sharia law.
+n mn I agree with your notion that we do not want to be a home for people who come to this great country with the aim to impose their medieval practices on us. But unfortunately they are already here among us. They are being radicalized and recruited here... Why do you think that KSA proposed to build 200 mosques and religious houses in Germany! The world sucks, now KSA is heading the UN human rights panel... We need a leader who would strongly oppose war and who would not accept to sell his soul and hence the country to the devil.
Justin Trudeau has to wiggle and dance around EVERY single question, you can tell that he will sway wherever the winds blow on any issue. Harper, well we can see the type of damage that he has caused (I should know, I voted for them in the past)...Tom Mulcair and the NDP's time as come!
Watching Mulcair dance around that 50% + 1 statement was a sight to behold. Not a good sight, but he sure can dance fast!
The implications of Mulcair's platform aren't understood by the people who want to vote for him. If they understood it, they wouldn't vote for him.
Great job Tom!
I was never a huge fan of Tom when he was in active politics. But credit is due to him for always trying to focus primarily on policy and not on flippant questions about personality. He was running for the political leadership of a country, not for homecoming king. The current P.M. didn't get the memo about that unfortunately.
I'm not sure how I feel about giving land and money to non-Canadians (refugees), when we still owe too much to First Nations, and unemployed and underemployed Canadian citizens. What about young Canadians who are smothered by tuition dept? They could use land and/or money too. I have nothing against Middle-eastern people and refugees (Syrian, Iraqi, etc.), but they are not Canada's responsibility (they're arguably the USA's responsibility due to their economic and military interference). And helping 10k or even a million does not help the other billion or so. It doesn't help them overall. (By the way, I'll most likely still vote NDP. 10k isn't too economically devastating).
I would like to give Mr. Mulcair a chance to prove himself. A few months ago I listened to a CBC radio interview with someone from an organization in Texas. This person was advocating Alberta to seperate from Canada and to join the USA. I am wondering if this advocate works for the Koch brothers. If the clarity act is 50 +1 then the Koch brothers can throw all their money behind the seperation of Alberta from Canada and have their own fiefdom.
this man is the most honest between them all
There's something about Tom that makes my skin feel uneasy. He reminds me of the bearded man from Hunger Games.
+Garl Vinland I feel a bit like that, just something about him makes me uneasy.
Roll back the "Tough On Crime" legislation that has been bitterly opposed by experts and humane people, too. Whether by itself or by coalition, roll back regressive injustice reforms. If the NDP doesn't fight for this, they aren't a worthy government.
The environment is very important for my children, and grandchildren. This guy actually cares, and wants to balance the budget as well! This guy is the best out of the runners! I hope that he gets in the PMO! Please please please please please, for our children, and the children of the world!
NDP NDP!
I just have such high hopes for this guy. I totally believe there's going to be relief. we will finally be able to breath again. Changes are coming. you rock Tom!!
Vote for this man! He got my vote.

Mr. Mansbridge, *THANK YOU SO MUCH*
Your three interviews, with *similar questions,* were perfect for gaining comparative perspective on the PM candidates.
The *_TV debate_* was a piece of fecal matter.
I don't care about the refugees. I care about OUR Country. Let's work on getting OUR people jobs. Let's work on getting OUR people off the streets.
+Copthatgucci I really hope you understand is 2015 and we cannlt afford to take on refugees anymore in todays world. get with the program. 2015.
We can not be out of the fight. We need to do something...and I think that Trudeau had a much better solution with regards to Isis. He is spot on when you look at what we need to do which is SOMETHING. We cannot as a country sit by and do nothing. We should not be fighting against them but training them to fight themselves is the honourable thing to do
Tom Mulcair is an excellent speaker. It's odd to hear an NDP leader talk about balancing the budget and being proud of fiscal responsibility. ... but please keep talking this way. (y)
In contrast to Trudeau's interview, throughout Mansbridge's Wed. night interview with Tom Mulcair; Mr. Mulcair came across sounding very Prime Ministerial. (much, much better than his poor, debate performance).
Unlike Justin, he didn't fidget about on the chair. He didn't hum and haw but gave, in most instances, precise answers in a firm voice. While Mulcair used a few platitudes, generally he gave decent responses to most questions.
When comparing Mulcair's speaking pace and body language to that of Trudeau, during Justin's interview with Mansbridge, it was Mulcair who sounded Prime Ministerial while Trudeau came across as a kid running for president of a high school student council. Possibly Justin was nervous since, unlike the first debate, he didn't have his sidekick, Elizabeth May, to tag-team in their attacks on Mulcair. Trudeau simply performed poorly in a one to one interview.
It became clear that Trudeau was not "coached" (unlike the debate) on several questions and his delaying tactics, while trying to think of a response, became very obvious with his "ums" and "uhhs" as he slowly concocted a feeble response to certain questions.
Justin provided the viewer with actual Liberal policies very rarely throughout the interview; instead relying on vague platitudes or simply skirting around the question.
I now worry, if Trudeau became P.M., he would get rattled if he had to confront Vladimir Putin or Angela Merkel on a one-to-one basis. I hate to quote a Conservative attack ad but I truly believe Justin is just not ready (he may never be) to be Prime Minister.
I was disappointed that Mansbridge didn't follow up on Trudeau's continual accusations that Mulcair would make cuts. Mansbridge should have asked, "Be specific Justin, what cuts is Mr. Mulcair going to make?"
Contrary to what Justin contends, I have not heard Mulcair make any cuts or renege on any promise he has made in this campaign.
Mulcair, based on the NDP's policies and his professionalism during such interviews as the one on one interview with Mansbridge (the debate was too "staged" by all participant and wasn't a true debate), has convinced me to give my vote to the NDP!
Veterans ???
Peter Mansbridge is that dude. He cuts right through the bullshit and doesn't let people squirm out of an answer. You go Pete.
Did anyone else think he played to Mulcair a bit? He was different with him than with Harper and Trudeau. The wife thought so as well but has only seen Trudeau and Mulcair. I just wonder if anyone else noticed?
If I could vote, I'd go for Mulciar, he has a clear opinion on everything, it doesn't look like he'll go back from his words, and he'll stop the fighting in Iraq. He seems to actually want to help Canadians above everything else
+Taha Aziz Then why refugees.Not our war.
Reduce taxes for small and medium size business? Did Trudeau hint during his interview that some of these business may be large cap corporations incognito? A Corporation is considered a person to my understanding. How many small or medium size business is this person allowed to operate. Are we back to square one? By reducing their tax it will offset the cost of going incognito? I am thinking more details need to be disclosed as to how to weed out this problem.
I was originally thinking Trudeau would be the best replacement for Harper but Mulcair is seems to be the better choice. He has real plan and u can tell from this interview. There are many people who would like to vote NDP but vote liberal because they think it's the best choice to get Harper out . Either way whatever happens as long as Harper doesn't win I'm happy!
So where is this "Angry Tom" that his critics are always talking about? What I see here is a calm, principled leader who cares deeply about Canada.
The way Mulcair moves around questions just makes it so hard for me to trust him. I just feel like he's trying to sell me something.
+Vince Rozhdestvensky they're all trying to sell you something but he's by far the most genuine and honest one of them all
The way I see it, Harper believes very strongly in one side and i don't really agree with him. Trudeau agrees strongly with another side and I partly agree with him.
Mulcair has a disingenuous manner where I don't see a strong passion any way or the other. It feels like his answers make it easy to amend his stance. This is just my instinct of watching them throughout debates etc.
Let me add that I don't have strong opinions about politics, I only just started to care enough to vote. So i don't pretend to be well rounded just decently informed. However this view is almost primal. I see two people with strong opposing views, and I see one who doesn't seem to have a strong view.
+bsstyle123 LOL, an ex lawyer? yeah right.
Where was this recorded?
Peter Mansbridge has my vote.
he's got my vote too!
I'm glad he's an advocate of peace and not intervention
Hopefully another election debate coming soon. Mansbridge asked a few tough questions but seemed to move to the next question to quick. I would have liked to have seen them all grilled for an hour long interview opposed to just 20 minutes.
the Heels of Elizabeth Divide them LOL
Can someone who's supporting Mulcair give me a summary of why you support him? I'm open to voting for him, but want a clearer understanding of where he stands. Cheers.
He likes peace. Won me over on that.
The only way you can have $15 day-care is if you pay people $2 an hour.
You can vote early!

If you are sure of who you are voting for, head to your local Elections Canada office. Make sure to check what is needed - basically be registered to vote, know the name of the candidate in your district you want to vote for, and bring ID.
my vote goes to mulcair
mulcair would make the best vice president ever, and I mean that. He's terrific at proving anything.
If they ever got to see him again I wish someone will ask him what does he consider middle class?
He's going to balance the budget? That's a joke.
+Les Zsoldos whats the joke?
I meant I highly doubt he'll balance the budget. He's just a typical politician who if elected will say that the books are much worse than he actually thought.
Notice that the dislike bar is essentially a 70/30 split haha
I like his charisma and his clarity of speech, but he's dodging quite a few questions. I'm not sure why though the questions he's dodging are worth dodging. Just say that if a 2008-like recession were to occur, you will do what the Harper government and what you wanted to do, that is to spend money to get the economy rolling again. Just say it. Just say that's if a referendum were to occur, use the 50.1% margin as the victory threshold. Just fucking say it.
+EvilShredder he makes me uneasy but of the three he did the best at presentation. Even though I will not be voting for him. Oh and it sure as shit won't be Harper and his party of one.
+EvilShredder I think he's just trying to save face because the party has a strong image to maintain; which has to be relatable to everyday Canadians(since they are going for Prime Minister after all) but I don't think necessarily that they have anything to hide per-say. Or at least not "bad"
we need to create a democratically elected senate, not totally abolish it
+peepthezoobazz The provinces get along just fine without an upper chamber. The federal parliament can do the same.
+peepthezoobazz I agree.
I don't care about all the other issues. What is his stance on muslim immigration, radical islam and sharia law in Canada? Thats all I need to know this time around. The country is in danger of polarization and cultural change if the wrong person is elected. Harper has the right response to the migrant crisis so far. I wasn't going to vote for him. But now he has my vote.
+Hollywood Are you thick? Do you really fear sharia law in Canada? If so, you need to seek help. Stop buying into the fearmongering propaganda. You have a better chance dying from literally anything else before dying from terrorism in Canada.
+Hollywood get your ass of the islamaphobia ideology this is not Saudi Arabia,,,,there many Muslim countries that dont govern their government with sharia law i am Muslim and i am voting for NDP
+Hollywood you are a fine example of what the Harper government has done. They rule with fear and lies and you have bought into both. If Harper was the last politican in the world I would rather burn my damn ballet than vote his lying ass back into power.
+Hollywood AMEN.
+Abshir Farah Of course you are.
Of all the "change" parties, I appreciate Mr Trudeau's passion and think he would be a better leader than Mr Mulcair. But I prefer Mr Mulcair's policies and concrete, specific plans. I wish Jack Layton were still around -- I'd have an easy decision of whom to vote for if that were the case.
This is the type of guy who should be our prime minister
I want this guy as prime minister!
I think Mulcair is the right choice for me. My only concern is that if he does raise taxes (assuming at a reasonable level) for large business, what is the likely impact? Will this be enough to make the big companies move out of the country? What do you think?
+Trevor Dixon Unlikely. They could afford a tax increase of a couple of percentage points without having to worry whether or not they will go out of business.
It's hard to believe anything this guys says. I do wish Peter could have asked him some tough questions like he did the others.
+Rod Falcon I think you made a mistake and put your comment under the wrong video. You need to go back to the Harper video and copy paste the message there. And then ad the words "What an arrogant, cold, immoral and dangerously manipulative liar"
I think it comes down to giving the NDP a chance.
"defeat stephen harper" LOL
I just hope that he doesn't cut defence spending
Even though I agree with Tom Mulcair 100% percent for change in Canada, pulling out Canadian troops from Iraq and Syria is giving in to the terrorists, what happened in Ottawa and that Quebec town last year should've been a wake up call. Instead Mulcair thinks we should abandon what were doing, what he should've said is written a letter to the UN and to see if he wants Canada to fight ISIS.
+Michael N well yeah the region is a unstable mess but I don't know if pulling out right away is a good or a much bad idea.
+Maurice Bear What happened in Ottawa was a crazy white guy causing trouble. Canada has never been under serious attack. The only reason terrorists would want to attack canada is if canada continues to bomb countries under the U.S influence and take innocent lives.
+Malhar Memon Pretty hypocritical when Terrorists do that on a single basis with Suicide bombings killing hundreds of innocent people inside Iraq and Syria.
Replying 7 years late but now I’m a lot more educated on this topic than I would’ve been then. When he said that the biggest risk to Canada and Canadians is to be continued to involved in war, what he means is that when we bombed those cities, we actually caused people who would otherwise be on our side to take up arms as revenge for us killing their civilians by joining ISIS and joining the Taliban. The bombing mission just made everything worse.
I was pretty unsure about these two until watching these interviews. I like Trudeau, and I do hope he stays on as Liberal leader regardless what happens in the election. But I just don't have any good sense for what he's actually going to do to change the fundamental problems facing our society today, at least as far as I'm concerned. Mulcair on the other hand, I can actually see a change in the right direction, and not just more cosmetic progress, but a change in this attitude that the rich create jobs through low taxes and the lower classes are just a bunch of freeloaders.
But if only May ran the NDP...
You guys better vote. And preferably NDP
Spectacular video, in a spectacular setting.
it's not often I vote for a gay dude but when I do it's this guy
The way he talks, same as all others! Balanced budget means paying billions a year on a national debt that is interest only payments! No principal! Slaves forever!
I like both NDP and Liberal.
This guy gives me the creeps.
+Patrick Kean maybe your head is fucked up thats why
+Malhar Memon Thank you for clearing that up for me. How is life in literate limbo?
Dude i was just intense in the moment. Dobt take me seriously. We have seen way too many creepy people in our lives not that i think Mulcaire is. Thats just how god made him and i dont want to judge him based on his creeps if that was the case. Hes got a good brain thats all i care about. Sorry if i hurt your feelings.
+Patrick Kean LOL!!
Get rid of FPTP - essential. The misrepresentation error is far too high with the current system.
Peter Mansbridge for PM.
couldn't give a "clear" plan.....or give a clear answer to any of the questions......wow, more concerned about ousting Prime Minister Stephen Harper than anything he proposes on his weak platform.......
When Canada was great
This dude's really biased.
He's the leader of the NDP of course he's biased in support of NDP
+AlrightPC LOL! in what way? In the way that he's an NDP candidate and he's talking about what the NDP would do if elected?
If he wins and does't legalize weed imma be so pissed......
Ah yes - welcome to the new Alberta. We are really f'kd.
I believe Canadians do not understand conservative policy vs liberal policy. PLEASE for the love of god, PLEASE read each policy. If you are a low-middle wage earner, liberals will take from the rich and give to the poor + middle class (like robin hood). whereas conservative policies make it easier for the rich to get richer and the poor to get poorer (the gap between the rich and poor has gotten MUCH bigger since Harper's introduction to the House as Prime Minister. Mulcair is right in the middle with this one.
EDUCATE yourself BEFORE your vote.
vote for the POLICIES not what people tell you
think for YOURSELF
As a sociology graduate, I promise you that the BEST choice (not the perfect choice) for 90% of Canadians is the LIBERALS or the GREEN parties because of their leftist ideologies and policies.
This is a country where we work TOGETHER for the betterment of all of society. NOT a country where we support the "survival of the fittest".
The only choice!!!
Muclair: 'harper made our economy less diverse, too dependent on oil'. Yet Muclair gonna raise corporate tax LOLOLOL Is that NDP diversification plan, tax more?
Millions of hectares of organic hemp will help grow our eco -nomy while increasing green manufacturing jobs locally. I am Cannabian!
Where is the next 100,000,000 going to be spent?
is he not how u picture James Taggart to be?
i pay people min 18-25$ an hour
Tom is a good talker but my gut feeling is he can't be trusted. He has lots of experience as a politician but that is not necessarily good. Harper has a lot of experience as well and just look at how much he can be trusted, not at all... Being very good at saying what people want to hear and the delivery of that message is important but it remains a sales pitch...
He had me till near the end. Too bad he did a really good job but it did seem like Peter took it pretty easy on him. I just can't believe he plans to pull all the troops. There are 62 counties involved in trying to stop ISIS. I do not think just bombing the crap out of the place is the answer but I do think we need to stay and help train the locals. We have really good professional military and they do a great job in this role. Just leaving is not an answer. I think I will have to go Liberal.
what a stupid line of questioning - focusing on immediate short term only
