Diamond Jim will be slick and coiffed.
Rachel, I hope, will be wearing a necklace featuring small mirrored surfaces, and a nice orange and white pant-suit/dress shirt.
Brian Jean needs some gold framed shades that he can whip off at dramatic times, a-la David Caruso on CSI Miami. YEEEOOWWWWW!!!
And David Swann will be rushing in, wearing bloody and sweaty scrubs, while muttering about wait times.

Well he can't just whip them off whenever, he has to make a pun first.

That's more of a rhyme than a pun. Though I've been trying to think of one and can't, so good effort.

I would think it goes a long ways in helping undicided people form an opinion regarding the various parties, their leaders, and by association who they will vote for.

Didn't watch, but sounds like Jean would have reminded me of Rob Ford's "stop the gravy train" one-note song.
Shame the Alberta Party wasn't allowed on.

I was undecided before the debate, but not now, will stay with the devil we know.
Notley looked good up there. But her beauty is only skin deep, I could see her ugly went right to the bone.

Brian Jean always looks like he has a neoprene left ear when he's on TV.

In terms of thinking on their feet Notley came out on top, Prentice number two. I was surprised that Jean looked so uncomfortable, and read much his answers without regard to the question...disappointing.

Watched the debate. It is so frustrating to know that the public, you, I, the appointed and elected people are trying to run the biggest business in the country, healthcare.
I called each of the candidate offices for my riding and left a message with this question. Why did communism (socialism) in Russia fail. Their answer will tell me if they understand political mistakes of the past.
We will spend more and more on public managed health care and get less and less until we understand what is happening to us.

Agreed I do like how prentice did acknowledge this by stating they need to find effciencies within health care. As Alberta is spending more then any province on health care currently but are not getting the best results around.Not just pump more money but look into ways to find the best results.

I wonder how much Alberta pays for there health managers vs the rest of the provinces? I think we'll find the money is being spent in places that make no difference on front line services for the average citizen.
Edit: I will say Alberta has some of the best first response in Canada, maybe North America considering it's geographical size.
