Third Question

"Mr Harper, you haven't earned the trust of the Canadian people, because you don't trust the Canadian people." That was Ignatieff referring to the UWO student kicked out of Harper's meeting. "This is not strong leadership."

Harper will not look at the other candidates, even when he is answering their questions. He's talking to  the camera.

"You keep talking about parliament like it's some sort of debating society that doesn't matter. Well it isn't - it's the Parliament of the Canadian people!" and "It's time you showed respect for the basic institutions of the country."

Whenever Harper gets into trouble, he talks about the economy. He's totally in denial. My colleges watching the debate have suggested a drinking game where every time Harper talks about the economy, you take a drink. If they were drinking, I think everyone will get absolutely pissed by the end of the first half of the debate.

Layton has just dropped the first hint that he might be open to a coalition. Kinda sounds sleazy when he says it like that.

Now the debate has turned into how parties form government. This part is boring. Hey! he mentioned the Economy again! We can drink!
