Party leaders play to their strengths

Liberal leader Justin Trudeau is promising to spend billions to hire more doctors and nurses.

The New Democrats are promising to be true environmental stewards by ending fossil fuel subsidies.

NDP Leader Jagmeet Singh says the Liberals have been foot-dragging on the move to renewable energy sources.

Conservative leader Erie O’Toole is accusing the Liberals of using American style election trickery.

Twitter flagged a tweet from Liberal Finance Minister Chrystia Freeland, after she posted spliced-together clips of O'Toole answering a question about private, for-profit options in universal health coverage.
