They are Quebec. They are everywhere on the spectrum as long as it benefits Quebec.

May is a tool.

What were the greens thinking? There's a huge group of folk who'd love smart environmental policy without stupid social and economic policy. Instead they are trying to eat the NDPs lunch. which is more like a snack.

He has never been the best debater, and yes on a 'how well is he debating' scale, he's probably not doing that well.

On the issues though, I think he's doing as well or better than any of the others, I'm not sure that's to homerish. I mean we are here debating a debate, I think a lot of people here understand the issues better then the average voter or debate watcher.

I have no interest in the government paying salaries to artists, period.

end of story, I can live with tax cuts to artists, but I would rather my money goes to health care and other important areas and not to artists.

Agreed, they have always been starving artists. It is not a new thing.

I wonder if Dion or Layton wrote that question down for the moderator.

Although I'd never vote for them, once again Jack Layton is the strongest speaker at the table.

Climate control trucks for delivering art what?

Galleries sell arts, if they can't promote art, sell art, generate interest in art, then why fund them. Give tax benefits to artists, not gallary owners.

I agree about Layton. If he was PC there would be no question in my mind that he should represent Canada.

I completely disagree. Look the camera in the eye? Maybe if he gets time, but right now, he's talking to people at a table, not shooting a commercial.

I'm getting the anti-homer vibe from you. Your pure dislike for Harper is visible.

As a Canadian, I'd prefer not to pay money for meat dresses, crucifix in urine, etc.

And the government shouldn't be in the business of making movies.

I think his name is Steve Patinkin. Big name in Ontario politics and TVO. Smart guy, and I think he's been around for a long time and hasn't aged much.
