Mark Carney, Pierre Poilievre, Yves-François Blanchet, and Jagmeet Singh battled to win over Francophone voters in the only French-language debate of the 2025 federal election campaign. Mackenzie Gray explains why Poilievre appeared to soften his attacks during the debate, how Singh criticized Poilievre, how Carney’s French skills fared and how Blanchet went after Carney.

Lets go Pierre!!!!
Carney should be disqualified for the incoherent French language He seems to speak.
The CBC, natives and Quebecers have always been a massive drain on this country. It was tolerable when the cost of living was tolerable.
After 10 years of these left wing morons screwing us, I can't believe that they could win again. If they can, this country is screwed. At least it will be for anyone that actually has skills and a work ethic.
Pierre for PM!!!
Saying an entire group of people isn’t real is not a hot button issue, it’s a HUMAN RIGHTS VIOLATION.
lol im voting liberal just to make conservatives mad
The AI revolution is already here — it’s not just blue-collar jobs at risk anymore. Even white-collar professions like law, finance, and medicine are being automated. This isn’t just an economic issue, it’s existential. We’re heading toward mass unemployment and inequality. This will ultimately impact all of the topics that was discussed in yesterday’s French debate. How was this not a debate topic.
Strange how Global News is trying hard to convince Canadians that Carney is head in the polls. What horse …t non-sense.
Voting also known as selling your soul.
Pierre isnt like trump. Cute try though. Made me laugh 😂
You guys are full of it. Time to get a clue the people don’t trust you for good reason. You suck and should all be fired
Pc is the only choice
Liberal mouths move and LIES come out, Scared of independent media because they ask real questions, we all know MSM is paid by the left to pedal lies,
Why wouldn't they mute Jagmeet. He was a rude •••••••
Ill support the party that awnsers all questions from all media not liberal censorship of msm !
Island boy Carney ain't worth the vote
CARNEY WAS TRUDEAU'S ADVISOR. HELLO WAKE UP. OF COURSE HE HAD TIES
PIERRE P CONSERVATIVES GOT MY VOTE. He is Honest. CARNEY IS A JOKER. =Trudoe. . Carney destroyed UK's Economy and Banking.He will lie on EVERYTHIN for Votes. LIBERALS destroyed Canada for 10Y +10biillion Depth. JAGMET is just another Joker . The French guy always crying for more Money .
PIERRE P CONSERVATIVES GOT MY VOTE.CARNEY IS A JOKER. =Trudoe. . Carney destroyed UK's Economy and Banking.He will lie on EVERYTHIN for Votes. LIBERALS destroyed Canada for 10Y + 15 trilion Depth
Red Alert – Poliviere wants to override the Charter of Rights to deal with criminals! Sounds too much like an executive decision over ride(Trump)
Who is the biggest winner of Canadian American trade war? Not Trump, not Americans, not Canadians. It’s Liberal Canada. They really took advantage of the patriotism of Canadians and added fuel to the fire for their own political gain. Do you know who else was doing the same thing for the last 10 years? Justin Trudeau. So think about it. Do they really have your interest at heart?
Canada is not a real country. The only thing thet should be talking aboot is how quickly they can become the 51st state.
CBC permanently closed off their comments section. That's how they block expressing your own voice in their rotten style of journalism
I don’t know why Quebec is so determined to be their own country, just be Canadian!
Pierre shows very knowledgeable and his solid platform is very good- knowledgeable and people person and patriotic- Carney statements are just like reporting a current events NO specifics and his reason is what he knows —- dangerous to give him the sit to be PM – Hope people see who is deserving because me i will switch to Pierre –
We can all agree to fight a foreign enemy, whats more important with the election is how we fix our internal problems.
All Carney does is blame Trump, for everything. Canada will be in BIG trouble if this clown is elected, how is he dominating the polls?
ONE QUESTION – WHY did the CBC YouTube English debate "comments" get censored and TURNED OFF?? Wow! Just another Liberal move because their man CARNEY did poorly and got schooled by Conservative Opposition Leader Pierre POILIEVRE…plain and simple. CARNEY chose to lie, be arrogant, and didn't know his facts. His stripes are really starting to show through. Let's see if the polls reflect the truth now? Vote CONSERVATIVE FOR PIERRE POILIEVRE. Good job PP. So nice to listen to someone who cares, has a new vision for Canada moving forward, and will clean up the corruption and poor policy left behind for the past 10 years by the Liberals under Trudeau(and Carney in the closet as Trudeau's economic adviser). Need more be said.
Hello Global News!! You REMOVE COMMENTS SUPPORTING CARNEY!! A LITTLE BIASED ARE WE??? WHAT ARE YOU AFRAID OF??
Jagmeet of NDP is nuisance Candidate & a puppet of Liberal Party.
PIERRE P CONSERVATIVES GOT MY VOTE.CARNEY IS A JOKER. =Trudoe. . Carney destroyed UK's Economy and Banking.He will lie on EVERYTHIN for Votes. LIBERALS destroyed Canada for 10Y + 15 trilion Depth
Choose wisely people, our country in the brink of collapse
Pierre repeats the same script over and over again… like a parrot. It’s like listening to AI. Guys that polished and practiced are red flags. Mark Carney knows something. He alluded to it when posing the question to PP about top security clearance.
Interestingly, Canadians know nothing of the identity of Poilievre’s biological father. He’s never disclosed that information.
Pierre: transparency, mature, true leadership material. Cornball Carney: rich lying snob trying to pull one over on all Canadians. Meathead Singh: the 12 year old child throwing in cheap shots with insults in the background.
ayo i dont understand jack 😛
Way to go Pierre!!!! 💙💙💙💙💙💙🌊🌊🌊🌊🌊
Des influenceurs conservateurs accrédités pour assister aux deux débats des chefs sont associés à un groupe qui a déjà levé environ 280 000 $ pour dénigrer le candidat libéral Mark Carney, montrent des rapports d’Élections Canada.
Rebel News, dont les employés se décrivent comme des « journalistes indépendants », figure dans la liste des tiers enregistrés auprès des autorités électorales, ce qui signifie qu’il « souhaite prendre part à des élections ou en influencer les résultats », selon la définition d’Élections Canada.
Son propriétaire, Ezra Levant, était aussi présent lors du débat des chefs en anglais vendredi, multipliant les prises de bec avec les journalistes de différents médias dans la salle de presse. Ces altercations ont conduit la Commission des débats des chefs à annuler le point de presse d’après-débat. Celui de la veille, suivant le débat en français, avait été noyauté par les employés de Rebel News, qui ont pu poser 6 des 17 questions aux chefs.
Ezra Levant est aussi enregistré auprès d’Élections Canada pour diriger un groupe de pression conservateur nommé ForCanada, et qui promet « de s’opposer agressivement [au chef libéral] Mark Carney » lors de cette élection. Son site Web propose un « plan de bataille » de cinq semaines pour « arrêter » l’avance de M. Carney.
Groupe militant
Ce second groupe, ForCanada, a passé pour plus de 150 000 $ de contrat à Rebel News, dont la majorité pour de la consultation. Les documents publics montrent que ForCanada a engagé des dépenses totalisant plus de 182 000 $ depuis le début de la campagne et jusqu’au 7 avril, et a recueilli 278 000 $ en dons, principalement auprès de particuliers.
Canada will become the 51st ethnic group of China if Carney gets in. The strengthening of economic and political ties between the two countries is evident. The involvement of Canadian entities like Brookfield in Chinese financial dealings ($250m dead beat loan) while Carney was Vice Chair and the “immediate” redirection of oil exports to China highlight a significant shift in Canada's international relations and trade strategies. US may have 5000 miles of border with CCP on the other side.
Carney said “Ummmm” and “uhhhh” 196 times.
Goooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooood
Comments can get trashy . Real trashy

What are the Liberals, NDP, Greens, or Conservatives really doing for you — not for their donors, not for their power, and definitely not for your paycheck?
While they chase headlines and protect their wealth, the People's Party of Canada (PPC) stands for you — the working people.
They fight corruption, call out the truth, and get silenced by the same 4 parties who want you distracted and dependent.
Want the truth?
Take the first step.
Vote PPC. Hear the truth. Speak the truth. Live the truth.

Think for just one hour.
Ask yourself: what are the Liberals, NDP, Greens, or Conservatives really doing for you — not for their power, not for their lobbyists, not for their personal wealth?
Aren’t you tired of the corruption, broken promises, and political theatre?
Haven’t we had enough?
More taxes, more control, and more homeless Canadians than ever before — while they live comfortably and call it “progress.”
Meanwhile, the People's Party of Canada (PPC) stands with the working class, speaks the truth, and calls out the corruption they all protect.
That’s why the other 4 parties do everything they can to silence PPC — they’re scared of people waking up.
Ready to hear the truth?
Take the first step. Vote PPC.
Because Canada belongs to you, not the elites.
The Poilievre guy acts like another Donald Trump…I don't think Canadians are wanting that!
😅
un decided voters, REALY?? is this country that stupid !! u will get what u voted , disaster,…………….
