Also, does anyone else think it's amazing that Canada has four political leaders who can converse fluently and debate intelligently in two languages? How many other countries can say that?

PSA: Please do not make "alternatif clair" part of your debate drinking game. We don't want you having your stomach pumped.

Haha, Layton says he's running for Prime Minister.

Layton says the Bloq is a hockey team made up only of defensemen.

This is still a love-in compared to the English debate.

You pretty much have to be counted in the unemployment rate, because if you're unemployed too long you're considered to have left the labour pool.

Similar to last night, IMO, in that there's no clear winner so far. Partisan supporters of every party probably like what their leader is saying while undecided voters aren't really getting a reason to choose one party over another just from this debate.
