And the Trudeau Liberals were reduced to a minority government.

Justin Trudeau has offered very little opposition to Quebec's Bill 21 that would prevent people wearing visible religious attire from holding positions of authority in the civil service, such as a teacher.

Bloc Quebecois leader Yves-François Blanchet has revived the fortunes of the separatist party in Quebec.

Blanchet performed well in both the French and English debates and has aligned the federal bloc with Quebec's right leaning CAQ government.

While both the Liberals and the Conservatives were both hoping to expand their seat count in the province, Blanchet's growing popularity means that is less likely.

Two weeks out from election day, the six  major federal leaders traded blows in the campaign's only English language debate to feature Liberal leader Justin Trudeau.

Conservative leader Andrew Scheer called Trudeau a "phoney" who doesn't deserve to govern Canada, while Trudeua accused his opponent of being in service to the rich.

But, thanks to an unwieldy debate format, National Post columnist Chris Selley explains why this was one of the worst debates he has ever seen.
