Party Leaders on Saturday
Liberal Leader Justin Trudeau is taking a private day. Erin O’Toole is British Columbia in the lower mainland. Jagmeet Singh is in Newfoundland.
Social Media Buzz
The Liberals have launched a new ad series going negative on the Conservative leader.
In a media statement today, “The Liberal Party of Canada released a series of new English language ads to outline the clear choice Canadians face in this election: move forward for everyone with the Liberal plan, or let Erin O’Toole take Canada back.
The Liberals say, “Thursday’s French language debate proved Erin O’Toole is willing to say anything to Canadians to get elected. He lied to Canadians about his plans to scrap the Liberal ban on assault weapons, he couldn’t answer a direct question on his plans to scrap 37,000 child care spaces in Quebec, and he repeatedly refused to say whether he would open the door to bringing more privatization to our healthcare system. And yesterday, he couldn’t answer questions on whether he would let his Conservative caucus re-open the abortion debate in Canada.”
We can’t let Erin O’Toole take Canada backward.
Now is the time to move forward. For everyone. pic.twitter.com/LkV3VzNQiM

The NDP leader is in St. John’s talking about healthcare, and specifically dental care.
I know it feels like you're working twice as hard but falling further behind
I'm fighting for you & I won't back down
Unlike Mr. Trudeau, I'll make the ultra-rich pay their fair share & invest in you, so you & your family can have access to dental coverage & better healthcare pic.twitter.com/dQyVwj9jBf

Canada: the country were Truth and Reconciliation get buried.
Where are the unmarked graves in this election?
The world is witnessing, Canada-the benign peaceful country, a carefully constructed public relations house of cards, falling apart. #residentialschools #elxn2021 https://t.co/DwG2vvb6gX
