About this episode
Two weeks out from election day, the six major federal leaders traded blows in the campaign's only English language debate to feature Liberal leader Justin Trudeau.
Conservative leader Andrew Scheer called Trudeau a "phoney" who doesn't deserve to govern Canada, while Trudeua accused his opponent of being in service to the rich.
NDP leader Jagmeet Singh and Green Party leader Elizabeth May attacked both Scheer and Trudeau from the left, while People's Party of Canada leader Maxime Bernier attempted to flank on the right.
But, thanks to an unwieldy debate format, National Post columnist Chris Selley explains why this was one of the worst debates he has ever seen.
