Debate Last Night
In the CBC wrap-up it would appear that Green Party Leader Elizabeth May and NDP Leader Jack Layton did rather well, while Bloc Québécois Leader Gilles Duceppe and Conservative Leader Stephen Harper remained neutral, and Liberal Leader Stéphane Dion had a bad night. Duceppe felt that Dion had a pretty good night in Wednesday’s French debate, but really wasn’t effective in last night’s English debate.
Obviously the debate centered on the failings of the Conservative government as envisioned by the other parties, but there were also criticisms of Dion for not calling for a no confidence vote on several occasions.
There was also a joint press conference in the US by the Vice Presidential candidates, but why bother. The format makes these things meaningless.
