The Debate

[Map Maker]

only one thought came to my mind while i was watching
"what a bunch of boobs"

I can't see any of those running for leader of our country.

[chubbdarter]

it would be interesting to see comments on a Eastern website

[kennedy]

I think that "Iggy The Maniac" sure had some crazy thoughts in his head and i think a lot of people are going to buy into it. For some reason, my gut tells me it wont be a majority and the conservatives need to be very vigilant

Iggy's wife is not a Canadian citizen and is not eligible to vote in this election.

Just visiting?

I found the debate quite interesting. I actually liked Laytons demeanor the best in the debate. to bad his policies are crap. Where are all these doctors and nurses going to appear from? Funny part was, the only answer I liked on the health care debate was the one of Ducceppe. I think he was right in saying let the provinces deal with it. Harper did pretty good, he sure kept calm under pressure and gang beatings.

[chubbdarter]

layton can promise a chicken in every pot...he will never have to deliver
layton has no pressure on himself.....he will never make the big dance and be made to show his moves

[Cattle Dog]

Heard the last 60% of "debate". wish they didn't have these things.

Harper sounded to be the best leader by far.

But here is a comment about the debate sent in to cbc website by a Wanda White:

A west coast tanker ban to limit Alberta's ability to exploit our "dirty oil", but no east coast tanker ban, because that would stop Ontario and Quebec from being able to import their "blood oil" from places like Libya. Not to mention putting all those people out of work in Canada's largest oil refining centre, Montreal.

It's time for Alberta to leave this joke of a so-called country..___________________I have to agree with you,alberta should leave Canada,that way they keep what they earn in alberta and not have to send money to the Canadian Government,to help other provinces,let the other provinces fend for themselves or let ontario and Quebec pick up the slack,and don't sell oil to them either let them buy it rom saudi's or libya etc.Alberta would be able to survive on her own, without ignorant Canadian's butting into their affairs.

One of the best posts ^ made here tonight!

I'm no supporter of the Green Party, but they should have been given precedent over the *&^%$#@ separatists!

Ya don't remember Iggy Pop?!!

[Roughneck12]

Ignatieff can't even seem to be able to tie his own tie or dress himself.

But the F35 cost alot more than what Harper says, unless he has a locked in price, but that aside, i hope for a Conservative majority,

[eastcoast]

I missed the first part but I though harper did pretty good, he looked and acted like a prime minister,I was also impressed by layton too bad his policies are mostly bad and pie in the sky.

[Lonnie]

the sad part is that it was not a debate they just gave a statement of part of their party platform and nothing else, then tried attacking Harper he did aright at defending him self and party. if Iggy or Layton wuold of presented thier ideas with a plan of how to make thier ideas float they cuold of blown Harper right out of the water.Harper is lucky that the NDP and the Libs think that people will vote for them on blind faith because they never put any thing forward as how the would lead the country and if you want the votes you have to plan better than the other guy and it did not look like thuogh two didn't put any thought into this debate. Harper won the debate because his opponents were idiots.

Harper did nothing but stand there , smile and tell more lies . Layton won , the other 2 were idiots , well the bloc anyway , the liberal leader is no different than Harper .

That's funny, but April fools was a couple weeks back. I mean that was a joke ... right?

The Conservatives are the only choice in this election. Liberals are run by an immigrant and the NDP is an insult to the colour orange. The Greens are a bunch of hypocrites (seriously, how many plastic signs do you need to put up? Isn't plastic environmentally unsound or something?) and the Bloc is a regional group of people interested in not wanting anything to do with the country and, therefore, federal politics.

Just watched it on a replay. Man I love Ignatieff. I'm going to take out a Lieberal party membership just so I can vote for him in the next party leadership race(which will happen after the cons win a majority). I thought Dion was great but The Count is his retarded equal.

Layton was sharp as usual. He is the best debater by far of the group. Too bad he was droppped on his bald, red head too may times as a child resulting in brain damage. I did love how he grilled the yank on his worst attendance record of all MP's. He should take votes away from the libs and give the PC's or CPC's or whatever they're called now 155+ seats for the majority. I just wish hermit crab Harper would crawl out of his shell and let his true values and beliefs be heard. He might be suprised how popular he could be. (Tea Party North)

The launch of Sun News TV next week should help the cause as well.

your wrong when Harper got elected the 1st time it was due to the fact he had a little bit of a plan that he shared with Canadians during a debate while the libs thought they wuold get voted in on thier good looks or some thing. if Layton wuold have came to that debate with a solid plan of where he cuold take this cuontry in 4 years and shared it with Canadians thier is a good chance that they would have lead a minority government. Layton & Iggy are wannabee leaders in name only as they don't even want to put in the work that it wuold take to get Harper out. and a liberal leader with a better plan than Harper, could have probably got a majority. as long as these two are his only competition Harper will be around for a long time unless he realy screws up.

Same old same old. Ignatief is an *****hole, and needs to **** off!

I hope he stays the lib leader he's the best thing that could happen to the librals and the best friend that the P.C. could have for Harper to get a majority

[artie]

Canada has to figure out some kind of better political system where we are not wasting money on bad politics. I think we need a system of mods running the government. That way if you do not follow the rules you get banned. Their is no politics to it simple black and white follow the rules, do good for the country or get banned for life. No big pension for doing nothing.

[TheClash]

anyone know where we can find it online??

[leo]

I fully beleive that the Bloc should have MLA representatives all across Canada, other wise they should not be considered anything thing other than the treasonous crap bags that they are. If they were running in my riding I'd vote for them. Give them a majority and maybe Quebec will leave confederation. I'd even help pay for it , just once.

Yes of course. Layton is terrific. As well as Ignatieff. THey should both stay on as leaders of their respective parties for a long time.

Seriously though...thanks for the laugh. The CBC did a little flash card thingy with "special" kids in the 18-24 age group last night during the debate. They all picked Layton too. You're in good company. The reporter was quite proud of the fact that the kids got to keep the flash cards of the leaders as a prize for participating. The kids seemed equally as thrilled. I believe they were all from TORONTO.

On a side note...is it me?...or does Elizabeth May get uglier and uglier by the day. Good Lord. That woman could scare the stink back into a skunk.

Harper needed to seem calm and prime ministerial, and not let the other dimwits get his hackles up. He did a great job. Anyone that would vote for any of the other schmucks is an enemy of Canada. LOL. fire away.

Another vote to make the burka mandatory.

X2 I found Harper to deal with some very sided questions quite well. Layton is a good speaker too and good debater, However that Liberal fool and that darn frenchie are just a bunch of baligerant fools.

The Frenchie wah wah wah poor kabec'...I find it interesting how he complains about all the things that canada hasnt handed them yet they want to separate....Let them seperate!!!

Send the Lib back to the states!
