From boxing ring to markets, leaders spend day in Montreal preparing for debate GlobePolitics

This translation has been automatically generated and has not been verified for accuracy.Federal party leaders spent Wednesday preparing for a French-language debate that evening, where the focus is expected to be centered on Liberal Leader Justin Trudeau as he goes head-to-head with his opponents for the first time during this election campaign.

The Conservative campaign had a quiet day Wednesday, with Leader Andrew Scheer spending the day preparing. “He'll want to demonstrate that he is competent and capable, not the fire-breathing brother of Doug Ford as the Liberals are describing him,” said Mr. Powers, adding that Mr. Scheer has the ability to surprise people.

“I am hoping that by being in Quebec and saying, ‘Hey listen, I got a turban and a beard and I’m out here talking about loving the language’ … that people can see maybe this isn’t a good idea to have divisive laws that discriminate [against] people based on the way they look,” Mr. Singh said. The poll was sponsored by The Globe and Mail and CTV, with 828 respondents surveyed from Sept. 21 to 30. It has a margin of error of 3.4 percentage points, 19 times out of 20 for the province-wide numbers.
