The Economy

In a debate about the state of Canada's economy, the Conservatives pointed out Canada is the only G20 country in a recession and criticized the poor economic growth, declining investment, and affordability challenges facing Canadians. The Liberals responded by accusing the Conservatives of being too pessimistic and negative, arguing that focusing on bad economic news doesn't help Canadians. The Liberals highlighted recent job growth numbers instead. Much of the debate consisted of partisan sniping and talking points rather than substantive discussion of economic policy or solutions.
