Boy, for someone who should be experienced at this sort of thing, Barb Higgins was sure awful. I felt uncomfortable watching her, and I hate to say it, but she looke a bit like a deer in headlights. It was particularly awkward when (during Nenshi's address) she appeared not to know what her own platform says. I was actually embarrassed for her.

Kent was polished and confident, and hit his talking points very well. Naheed was excellent, but a lot brainier--not necessarily a bad thing.

As for the others: Jon Lord was terrible. He spent more time talking about his website and complaining about the format than he did about his platform. Bev Longstaff is fine (and I remember her well), but Wayne Stewart is still a mystery to me.

I couldn't hear what Joe Connelly was saying because his shirt was too loud. I'm pretty sure he wasn't good. The others barely merit any mention at all, including McIver, whose speech was so filled with buzzwords and so empty of content that I felt dumber after listening to it.
