Yes. Why wouldn’t they be?Would you consider them contestants though?
That may also be language issue as maybe none of them are that comfortable in French to do that. Either way I prefer parties debate policy with themselves rather than self destruct and provide their opponents fodder in a larger election run.Gould openly talked shit about the Liberal Party in her vote for me emails to party members. She's since toned down and it's as if everyone is reading off the same page. Kind of like they're trying to give the impression of choice for the next party leader.
Speaking on both sides of the language isle isn’t new.I can see a slip up on wording speaking French but Carney completely flipped his positiin on using emergency powers when speaking in Quebec. THAT didn't seem very accidental.
