Debate notes

[c9]

• The moderator is amusingly casual. "Mr Layton, you want in on this?"
• Did Gilles Duceppe have an Englishectomy? I know he speaks English better than that.
• I'm playing NDP "Give 'em the boot II Bingo" and I'm winning!
• The Bloc and the NDP never attack each other. I wish the Bloc would give up on separatism and merge with the NDP. They'd kick ass.
• Off-topic: I'm supposed to be making potato salad right now. But I can't see the TV from the kitchen. Hmmm.
• Stephen Harper just lied. He said "that's not correct" when asked about his tax increase plan.
• I should disclose that I'm winning the bingo game against myself.
• Favourite moment: Duceppe badgering Martin during Martin's answer on a Québec issue, so much so that Martin quietly sniped back en français.

Verdict: Unfortunately, Harper performed too well. Damnit.

I'm really enjoying it too. I liked the last one, but this one is better somehow. Not entirely sure what it is yet.

I noticed Jack is being careful about his repetition. He hasn't said Ed Broadbent once, and he's only said "more NDP MPs" once. Sounds pretty good.

I think it's the laid back (eye rolling) host, Mr. Steve Paikin. I hope they bring him back.

OOOOOh... I liked Steve's question "I've never heard you say you're running for Prime Minister." OOOOOOOOH.

Sadly, nobody would listen to anything he said after saying that sort of statement. But yeah, OOOOOOOH.
