Hughes didn't sound like the wingnut that I thought he was. Mciver sounds like he knows he's going to win the election, IMO.

I caught the interview/debate also. Hughes did do a really good job of not coming across like a totally wingnut (something his tweets tend to do).
McIver was good, but Gomeshi had to push him to actually give HIS opinion on the urban chickens. McIver was up to his usual poli-speak that doesn't really say anything. It was all "my bosses this, my bosses that", fair enough when talking about representing your constituents but keep in mind this was only for a pilot project. How can you defend scrubbing a test to decide if it is good for the city or not?
Hughes clearly was the superior on the subject matter, and he flat out shot down McIver's claims that there are plenty of healthy farm fresh eggs around Calgary for us to consume. Now flip the tables and have them debating something more fiscal in nature and I'm sure McIver would come out on top.
I thought he sounded like he was in heaven, a countrywide audience must have had him getting his rocks off. So much better than soundbites and quotes in our local media!
