Ok, that was awesome
I know I’m a partisan, but Elizabeth May rocked that debate. I’m particularly thrilled that she named fixing our broken electoral system as her number one priority. It probably wasn’t the answer a focus group would have told her to use, but it was the right one. (And now, as I type this, it’s also the topic of the first question in the post-debate press scrum.) Also worth noting that I still can’t remember the last time Jack Layton even mentioned fair voting. Got anything to say, Dipper Chick?
Also, special thanks to the CBC for not repeating last night’s error.
Oh come on, CBC
This is nonsense. The CBC goes to their post-debate panel and it includes a representative from every party except the Greens? And then as if that wasn’t bad enough, when Don Newman went around the table he asked the NDP pundit to comment on Elizabeth May’s performance as if she could speak on Elizabeth’s behalf. The NDP representative was then of course free to heap criticism on May for a minute with no one there to refute her. Pathetic.
CP24 Thursday Night
I’ve been asked to provide pre-debate commentary on CP24 here in Toronto from 8-9pm Thursday night before the English language leaders’ debate.
Just finished watching the French language debate and I think Elizabeth May did very well. You just wait until tomorrow night, gentlemen.
In other news, the best live blog award definitely goes to Macleans, though I am a fan of CalgaryGrit’s debate drinking game.
