Liberal Leader Mark Carney sought to cast himself as a safe choice to guide Canada through a crisis during the English-language debate on Thursday evening.
Carney, currently leading in the polls, was the primary target during the final debate of the election, with his chief rival Conservative Party Leader Pierre Poilievre trying to paint him as “more of the same” following a decade of Liberal leadership.
“Mr. Carney, Justin Trudeau’s staffers are actually here with you at this debate in Montreal, writing the talking points that you are regurgitating into the microphone,” he said.
Carney, who tried to differentiate himself from former prime minister Justin Trudeau, retorted: “Look, I do my own talking points thank you.”
Later in the debate, NDP Leader Jagmeet Singh accused Carney of failing to defend Canadian jobs threatened by U.S. tariffs.
Bloc Quebecois Leader Yves-Francois Blanchet, meanwhile, argued that Carney must disclose his financial assets to show he’s better than Trudeau, picking up on an issue that has dogged Carney throughout the campaign.
