But Green Party leader Elizabeth May, one of only two members of her party to hold seats in the House of Commons in the last Parliament, wasn’t as concerned about deficits, saying it was “the wrong time for austerity measures” amid a “weak and shrinking economy”.

He said the Liberals are playing a “dangerous game” by refusing to put a specific number on what threshold of victory separatists would need in a referendum.
While Green Leader Elizabeth May and NDP Leader Thomas Mulcair were busy arguing over which one of them was more opposed to pipelines, Trudeau accused Conservative Leader Stephen Harper of bungling negotiations with the American government to get the Keystone XL pipeline built.
According to Environment Canada, annual greenhouse gas (GHG) emissions have fallen twice since 2006.
Asked about that today in Richmond Hill, Ont., Harper insisted 80 per cent of the Canadian economy is growing – only the energy sector is shrinking due to falling oil prices.
During his familiar stump speech, the NDP leader declared that Harper’s approach has been a failure – leaving the middle class struggling to make ends meet.

Mulcair said he would support military action sanctioned by the United Nations or under Canada’s North Atlantic Treaty Organisation commitments. Mulcair stuck to his position that he will await a federal environmental review. The Liberal leader tried to avoid this fate, by pivoting to the issues of the government failing veterans when they got home and the demonization of the Muslim community, but Harper pushed back.
