The Canada federal party leaders are once more to hitting the campaign trail after days of laying low to prepare for two debates televised nationally.
Stephen Harper of the conservative party is an event of campaign in Beaupré, Quebec, followed by a rally in the suburb of Etobicoke Toronto Thursday night.
Michael Ignatieff Liberals is set to visit a local company and to make an announcement in Gatineau, Quebec, followed by a barbecue with liberal candidates in St. Isidore, were.
Jack Layton of the new Democratic Party will spend the day in Montreal, including a photo-op rally and campaign. Layton will wrap the day watched the match from the Montreal Canadiens against the Boston Bruins playoffs.
Bloc Québécois leader Gilles Duceppe will speak at a luncheon of campaign in Gatineau, followed by a press briefing at the headquarters of the candidate Richard Nadeau.
Green party leader Elizabeth may will spend another day in British Columbia Colombia, courting votes in and around his home on Vancouver Island port. It is scheduled to attend a rotary meeting, rock the Vote event and a meet and greet.
May is also scheduled to hold a press conference calling for a national plan for affordable housing and to attend the meeting of the candidates for all on Pender Island.
All four party leaders have done their best to seduce Canadian voters in French and English leaders debates televised leading to the vote on May 2.
May was excluded debates by the consortium of broadcasting on the basis that in the last federal election, the party did not get a seat in Parliament.
On Wednesday, the question of a coalition Government has launched the debate of the French language.
Ignatieff promised to work with other parties in a minority situation, but not as a coalition.
Duceppe then demanded to know where Harper would have cut to eliminate the deficit, but Harper said, the Government would seek efficiency gains, not cuts and said the economy needs a strong hand.
Jack Layton has used an analogy of hockey to go after Duceppe, saying that the block is as a team with only the defenders, and the NDP was the only party "goals."
The leader of the Bloc fired back that his party has more players on the ice than the NDP. Harper has done its best to attract Quebec voters who choose the block because they do not like the Liberals, saying that a vote for the Bloc is a vote for Ignatieff as Prime Minister.
Things were just as heated French debate of two hours in downtown Ottawa on Tuesday. Issues, including the Summit of the G8/G20 expenses controversy, corporate tax cuts and measures concerning the institution of the Parliament dominated the conversation.
Ignatieff blasted Harper on the latest corporate tax cuts, but the Chief conservative, from the rear, saying that the increase in corporate tax rates would send a negative message to investors and affect job creation.
Layton also intervened in the fray, slamming Igantieff for supporting the tax cuts in previous Conservative budgets.
Leaders sparred also in the mission in Afghanistan, immigration, crime and health care.
All four party leaders said they emerged the debates of the victory.
