winner so far : Harper : calm, poised when they're all shooting at him.
loser so far : Dion : he's himself, nervous , very bad body language
Not a factor so far : Duceppe not taking advantage of his fluency in French
: Layton doing OK
awful : LizBeth necklace ..just horrible

Do they do a drug test for this event?

Hey I am watching the French debate as it is being broadcasted on SRC. As we all know, the ROC is probably not much interested since it is in French. But you must be aware that Quebec is likely to determine whether the CPC gets a majority or not. Therefore, this particular debate should be important to most Canadians. Upon doing some research, I found this little blog section from the National Post.

English Canadians can follow the debate here lol

8 hrs 30 PM update :

Dion getting more aggressive, Harper on a defensive mode. Duceppe invisible . Jack and Lizbeth OK .

So far , not really exciting , pretty boring. they have 5 minutes to discuss subjects.

He's only second to Bush in, "I don' give a fuck"s. Thanks Chris!

[JoBec]

funny format : asking people from remote Quebec villages to ask questions.

And then , all candidates answering by thanking the person ....by her first name ... Merci Sylvie LOLLLLLLLL

OUFFFFF Stéphane just got mad and described Mr. Harper as a TOTAL ZERO !!

[Blue_Nose]

Harper's definitely the most poised, I'd say Layton is doing well, too.

Dion doesn't seem to be impressive at all, just as bumbling as he is in english.

May looks like a joke - Harper looks like he wants to roll his eyes whenever she says anything, and she's switching to english for the words she doesn't know in french

[JoBec]

subject now : environment

Harper attacked from all sides . LizBeth is screaming , Dion is attacking and Duceppe not speaking at all...

[Pimpbrewski]

On the environment, everyone is attacking Harper.

Duceppe keeps interupting ''as usual''. After all, he cannot put forward any platform so he resorts to personal attacks since he doesn't know any better.

I tried watching the translated newsnet channel, I actually prefer watching it in french and understanding every 5th word

[Blue_Nose]

Ha! this question is pretty much the same as the one I considered asking at the local candidates' debate - say something you like about the person to the left.

(Mine was actually to say something they like about the other's platform, but similar).

Jeez, I think Harper and Layton had a moment.

[Pimpbrewski]

Oh man, have you guys notice on the ''Leadership et Gouvernance'' bit. Every leader has to say a good thing about the other to the left.

Harper was giving a good point to Layton. Did you notice the stare that Layton gave to Harper? Fuck that was funny as if Layton wanted to get up and slap him across the face.

Pimpbrewski Pimpbrewski:

Harper was giving a good point to Layton. Did you notice the stare that Layton gave to Harper? Fuck that was funny as if Layton did not want to hear any of it.

Because Layton wants to be seen as opposing the Conservatives, not working with them...

Better than May's "you have charming kids"... jeez, who let her in again?

[JoBec]

BTW hi pimpbrewski !!

WOW : question : one achievement by your left neighbor . Harper the clear winner on this one.

After one hour : my own opinion on the debate ( score on 10 )

Harper : 7
Layton : 5,5
May : 5
Dion : 4,5
Duceppe : 2 ( the definite loser. should be scoring huge but can't do anything)

[JoBec]

$5 Dion will start crying before the end of the debate . He's getting emotional , losing it completely.
