CANZUK was mentioned in today's Canadian party leadership debate

Tonight was the French debate for the leadership of the Canadian Liberal party. (The winner of this contest will become Prime Minister briefly, but will have to fight a difficult general election this year.)

Frank Baylis, who is a longshot to win (but has the best French of the four candidates so looked good tonight) favorably mentioned CANZUK in his first answer, as a possible solution to the worsening trade situation with our neighbour Usa.

Funny moment is when he said in French (paraphrased from memory), "These are countries with whom we share a language... Haha English, of course."

Will be interesting to see if he mentions it again during the English debate.

The stream is on YouTube if you understand French. Edit: I've changed this link to point to the start of his answer.
