Justin Trudeau

Neither NDP nor Grits have said what they will do to stop a Harper minority government from proroguing Parliament and preventing an anti-Conservative coalition.

Munk Debate is the first one to focus on foreign issues, now hot-button issues due to refugee crisis and Syrian Civil War.

NDP platform earns praise from May but Grits waste no time in denouncing Mulcair as "no friend of the environment," - pointing to his provincial record in Quebec.

As world leaders take action on climate and refugees, Harper wages pointless war on niqab.

Strange alliance emerges between Harper and Duceppe over contentious issue of niqabs in citizenship ceremonies.

The insults, jabs and zingers are delivered with precision and laced with acid.

... but Trudeau did not rule out allying with the NDP if no majority government emerges after Oct.19.

Federal Court of Appeal dismisses Harper government's appeal against earlier ruling allowing the wearing of niqabs at citizenship ceremonies - but Tories set on taking battle to Supreme Court.

Mulcair and Harper slam Trudeau's proposal to run deficits until 2019 - but Grit leader rises above it all.

Voters must figure out whether NDP or Grits have best chance of kicking Harper out - but progressives may be hampered by Fair Elections Act restrictions - and possible voter apathy.

Tories double down on fiscal record - but Middle East refugee crisis is still centre-stage - and yet another Harper staffer faces trail on Monday.

“He’s the nearest thing I’ve seen to a Bill Clinton type, a person who genuinely likes politics and people."
