Conservative leader Andrew Scheer quickly addressed the Liberal leader Justin Trudeau’s “black face” topic, calling Trudeau a “phony.” Scheer says that Trudeau is always wearing a mask. “Mr. Trudeau you’re a phony, you’re a fraud and you do not deserve to govern this country.”

Bloc Quebecois leader Yves-François Blanchet had an interesting run into Rebel Media’s Keean Bexte reporter. “I won’t answer Rebel News” said Blanchet. “I’ll keep asking the question because a judge said we could be here and ask questions,” Bexte said. Blanchet responds with “My answer is that I won’t answer you.”
The parties will meet for the last time on Friday, in French.
