I wish I was able to watch. |
Well, there are basically praises and criticisms that could be said about all of them. Depending how you feel about each person/party, will probably bias a person on what they overlook and what they hand their hat on.
Trudeau... did have a bit of an amateurish quality to his presentation. Too scripted and you can tell that he is trying too hard. He needs to act more natural, but I think people forget how bad Harper used to be at these things. Having said that, his points were pretty well laid out I thought. He was vocal when he had to be, but wasn't too belligerent.
May... I thought she made some good points, but they were sometime veering a little off topic. These debates where you have limited time to express your views are difficult for someone like her that wants to get into the little details.
Harper... He was pretty much just there. I thought he played it really safe, which to me doesn't show he is that confident in this election. I pretty much disagree with everything he does, but as a speaker, he is pretty solid.
Mulcair... Was really hit and miss. As times, he does come across as creepy, but at other time,s I find his tone and articulation very comforting. Out of the 4, I thought he showed off his party platform the most. His closing statement was fumbled pretty badly though.
