Time for a Debate!! #bcpoli #BCElxn2024 #bcelection

So far I would say the two on the right have been carrying most of the conversation. Rustad has spent the most time answering attacks.
Rustad:
"David Eby, we have seen people arrested distributing drugs in these facilities"
(on overdose prevention sites). #bccp #bcpoli #bcgreens #BCElxn2024 #bcelection #bcndp

That's actually a bad sign.

The tactic as leader is to slow it down, and be attacked. The tactic as the chasing leader is to speed it up, make attacks.

But Rustad is the negative platform campaign. So the others are lowering themselves to his level.

On Indigenous Rights... after explaining their continued work with First Nations, Eby attacks "racist"

@Amgine agree so far the Green has not done much attacking.

Chris Alemany🇺🇦🇨🇦🇪🇸

"Ultimately we will have indigenous law over private land" Rustad "warns"

this is total nonsense.

@chris To my eye Rustad is getting crushed.

Chris Alemany🇺🇦🇨🇦🇪🇸

Eby: "I wouldn't describe our relationship with First Nations as parent and child but as a partnership" he scolds Rustad

Rustad has been weakest on this line.

@chris He will also not enforce pandemic restrictions or climate protection activities. If people think that hospitals were bad before, just wait until this guy gets in.

Chris Alemany🇺🇦🇨🇦🇪🇸

We are now into the economy
Rustad: Get rid of regulations
Eby: Grow grow grow wages jobs etc
Furstenau: Support people

Also, Eby moves alot on his feet, camera moves around.

Eby: "What are you gonna cut? No plan"

Furstenau: brings up transit.

Eby: "how can we debate when you [BCCP] won't say your plan"

We heard it! BCCP leader says "you can't change the weather"!

Yes folks, there is a denier in the room. #bccp #bcpoli #bcgreens #BCElxn2024 #bcelection #bcndp

@chris Folks in Florida would beg to fucking differ from that maniac right about now

@chris also, was it CPC leader Pollievre or CPBC leader Rustad?

@chris

He’s been expending WHOLE a lot of energy trying to pretend he’s not who he clearly is…wolf in sheep’s clothing, just like Poilievre. 🫤

Chris Alemany🇺🇦🇨🇦🇪🇸

Furstenau speaks strongly on polarization and how previous coalition government got work done and reduces polarization and "pointing fingers". Implores people to elect more greens for less polarization. #bccp #bcpoli #bcgreens #BCElxn2024 #bcelection #bcndp

@chris an episode of star trek the next generation comes to mind (it involves a cellular peptide cake - with mint frosting - but also people getting energy sucked out of their brains by straws.)

Chris Alemany🇺🇦🇨🇦🇪🇸

Rustad invokes the "Common Sense" words of the federal Conservative party platform as he closes, again going back to his "youth leaving BC" line he used most often all debate.

And there it ends. #bccp #bcpoli #bcgreens #BCElxn2024 #bcelection #bcndp

Chris Alemany🇺🇦🇨🇦🇪🇸

Overall I would say Rustad was on the defensive the most by far but got some of his main points out. Eby attacked the most, sometimes agreeing with Green leader Furstenau. Furstenau avoided attacking the others most of the time but got some digs in. She had the most effective delivery on policy.
Thanks for following this impromptu live tooting!
