Harper chooses to skirt around the sovereigntist question by saying that we should focus on the economy, Ignatieff directly attacked sovereigntism, and Duceppe is making his case for it. This is the meat and potatoes of this debate.
I'd love to see Quebec form their own country, own currency, borders, military, repay any debt to Canada, and deal with their own issues. Wash our hands of their ever growing tin cup.

Harper is skirting around it because the majority of Canadians don't care about it. They care about the economy which is why he's making it the number one issue.

It would be a great way for them to learn their place. They can go ahead and be their own country, but dont expect the equalization payments to continue... I would give them 2 years before they run out of money and have screwed themselves beyond imagine.
Jack layton just seems like such a scumbag politician, he seems to smile through everything and act like "the cool guy" when in reality he is the no substance guy.

He'll never form a government, so he can make all the idealistic pie-in-the-sky promises he wants knowing he'll never have to figure out a way to pay for them. Love 'em or hate 'em, at least the CPC and Liberals both try to justify the cost of their proposed programs and state where the money will come from.

Very true.
But the sad part is that the NDP could become the official opposition if they would move further to the center. Why Jack thinks that the Canadian people will support his socialist wet dream year after year, when in fact they have shown that they won't is beyond me.
Whoa. I have not seen this until now, but apparently yesterday the Liberals have shown their desperation in being down ~10 points by releasing attack ads:

Wow a thinly veiled message that Harper is murdering people
Also didn't take long for the NDP to produce an ad slamming Ignatieff for his attendance.

If it's desperation to release an attack ad when you're ~10 points down during a campaign, what is it when you release an attack ad three months before the election has even been called?

Obviously the conservatives are way dirtier in their tactics, the tone, and the deception of some of their attack ads... but now that the Liberals are using a fear based ad campaign, they seem to be sinking to their level. They still based it on facts rather than snide sarcastic remarks, but it runs against Ignatieff's earlier attempts to separate his campaign from the conservatives by renaming Harper's campaign "Fear for Canada".
