“Debates are always important, but given the accelerated nature of this campaign and the rather impersonal and virtualized nature of the campaign, this moment of focus, of attention to the choices in front of us, is more important than it might normally be,” said Prof. David Black, a political communications expert at Royal Roads University in Victoria.
“This will be so impersonal, so virtualized that this debate is the equivalent of a candidate showing up at your doorstep,” he said. Voters will be looking for the leader who best articulates a strategy to fight the pandemic and guide the recovery, said Shannon Daub, B.C. director of the Canadian Centre for Policy Alternatives.
Black said the electoral reform debate revealed the two leaders have “a lot to prove by way of their ability to speak clearly and in a civilized way about the issues.”
