federal debate

Well listening to the debate tonight and think listening with the platforms of the NDP and the Liberals we may have to learn Greek as the new second language

Thomas Mulcair was actually quite articulate. Elizabeth May is certainly no dummy either,but,represents a single issue party despite her protestations to the contrary. Stephen Harper was rock solid and stuck to the Conservative agenda of common sense,solid values and a stay-the-course economic and energy policy. Unfortunately,the left wingers aren't listening to common sense. Justin Trudeau may have well stayed home. He wouldn't answer questions posed to him by Mulcair and espoused the same old,same old,giving a plug to Ontario and Alberta's energy carbon tax policies. No doubt,the left wing media will state that Mulcair won with Trudeau second. Wait for the papers in the AM.

As soon as they started interrupting each other I turned back to the Jays game--which means I watched about 2 minutes of it.
No matter what I already know who I'm voting for and any debate won't change my mind.

Mulcair did a great job of dodging the question of whether his plans for a carbon tax would increase prices at the pump. He did very well last night. Not good.

The Ottawa free paper this morning said Mulcair lost the debate and Trudeau won, it is all about perspective.

JT was expected to be shredded by Mulcair by most ( myself included). In that sense I think he was the winner and Mulcair the loser.

You understand that Harper would never win based on any paper or news outlet based in Ontario.

My guess would be that neither left wing party wants that to become an election issue after the shyte-kickin' the Liberals took over it last time out. Harper should have kicked the lid off it and missed a golden opportunity to put both Mulcair and Trudeau on the spot. Not one damn thing was accomplished with the yak fest,last night. More ho-hum.
