Briefly

The article discusses the upcoming 2025 federal election debate, noting the predictable strategies and talking points of the party leaders. It highlights expected behaviors, such as Pierre Poilievre's focus on 'wokeness', Mark Carney's economic assurances, and Jagmeet Singh's commentary on housing. Additionally, it suggests that the lasting influence of Trump will permeate the discussions, while camaraderie and Canadian pride will be emphasized by candidates. The article introduces a light-hearted debate-night Bingo game capturing these themes and potential conversational directions, including references to Alberta separatism and typical catchphrases like 'elbows up'.
Heading into the English debate, we might not be confident of the overall outcome of the evening--or even the final vote tally on April 28--but we are pretty sure that Pierre Poilievre will raise the spectre of wokeness.
Mark Carney will likely be in good-for-the-economy banker mode, while Jagmeet Singh will look dapper and bring up housing.
Trump will haunt the proceedings, and everyone will try to prove their uber-Canadian patriotism.
We've created debate-night Bingo. Will anyone throw out an 'elbows up'? Will Alberta separatism crash the conversation?
