Ontario electrical market prices for month of August: $23.40/MW.

It will be on CPAC and streamed at globeandmail.com.

May, being not invited, will be broadcasting her responses through Twitter.

Why isn't any of the major Canadian networks covering this? Or at least CBC Newsworld?

Justin Trudeau comes out pretty weak.

[starseed]

Justin Trudeau has performed very well so far. Many shout outs to Calgarian interests, aligned with Nenshi's vision for the future. As I type this, he just mentioned him.

Agreed. He has bounced back since his opening statements. Shout out to the Deerfoot!

[starseed]

Wow. Nice image played by Trudeau. Painted Mulcair as supporting the top 1%. That should make the NDP fractures even deeper!

[zamler]

In other words Mulcair supports Trudeau.

[starseed]

"I don't know how you can have a secret meeting with the media" lol

What is the story here?

Yeah Harper is gonna get slaughtered on immigration. He just loves to play the terror card as an excuse.

[flylock shox]

I don't know if it's just the Republican debates that have lowered the bar, but this seems like an awfully good debate. All 3 performing pretty well, with 3 different styles.

Good work whoever chose their podium positions.

Edit: also, Trudeau is doing particularly well. Never liked the guy but coming around to him.

[edslunch]

Like what Trudeau is saying but his delivery is brutal. Slow down man!

[starseed]

Holy crap. Mulcair with a poorly timed joke against Trudeau. Bad timing and makes him look like a petty jackass.

[Makarov]

Have to agree that Trudeau is doing well tonight.
