Conservative Leader Pierre Poilievre and Bloc Leader Yves-Francois Blanchet came off looking the best.

In last place was Jagmeet Singh who too often resembled an overly earnest sophomore or a candidate for local president of his civil service union.

The debate commission uninvited the Greens because the party is running just 232 candidates across the country.

The last true knockout punch in a Canadian election debate was Brian Mulroney on John Turner in 1984 .

Lorne Gunter : There was no real breakthrough or pivot point that this debate will be remembered for.

David Staples : When Poilievre got emotional speaking about the pain of Canadians he’s met on the campaign trail, he came across to millions of Canadians in a way they’ve not seen before.
