I don't think Iggy's hit Layton with anything substantial.

everything, Wednesday, 13 April 2011 00:03 (fifteen years ago)

OK, Duceppe's winning me back a little.

EveningStar (Sund4r), Wednesday, 13 April 2011 00:04 (fifteen years ago)

Ugh. This "Bill 101" bit kind of physically hurts.

EveningStar (Sund4r), Wednesday, 13 April 2011 00:07 (fifteen years ago)

THIS IS NOT THE FRENCH DEBATE.

EveningStar (Sund4r), Wednesday, 13 April 2011 00:08 (fifteen years ago)

Yeah, good work raising a lower-profile issue like cuts to Immigration Settlement Services, Jack.

EveningStar (Sund4r), Wednesday, 13 April 2011 00:10 (fifteen years ago)

well, it sort of on subject for once.

(Wasn't being sarcastic btw)

EveningStar (Sund4r), Wednesday, 13 April 2011 00:12 (fifteen years ago)

i realize Harper has a "lying voice"

ha ha - sorry!

got electrolytes (The Cursed Return of the Dastardly Thermo Thinwall), Wednesday, 13 April 2011 00:13 (fifteen years ago)

so is Harper's claim about "tripling" those funds just out-and-out BS? No one called him on it so far and it openly contradicted everyone else.

Simon H. Shit (Simon H.), Wednesday, 13 April 2011 00:14 (fifteen years ago)

That was the first time tonight Harper said something I agreed with. xpost

EveningStar (Sund4r), Wednesday, 13 April 2011 00:14 (fifteen years ago)

i was just assuming it was bs because he used that voice.

(that multiculturalism can coexist with the preservation of the French language)

EveningStar (Sund4r), Wednesday, 13 April 2011 00:16 (fifteen years ago)

Oh, this is the first time I've been impressed by Ignatieff.

EveningStar (Sund4r), Wednesday, 13 April 2011 00:19 (fifteen years ago)

(tonight)

EveningStar (Sund4r), Wednesday, 13 April 2011 00:19 (fifteen years ago)

yes Iggy, the gun registry is definitely what you want to bring up.

Simon H. Shit (Simon H.), Wednesday, 13 April 2011 00:19 (fifteen years ago)

"soft on crime in his own office"

NoTimeBeforeTime, Wednesday, 13 April 2011 00:20 (fifteen years ago)

ya - i didn't think he was that good there.

got electrolytes (The Cursed Return of the Dastardly Thermo Thinwall), Wednesday, 13 April 2011 00:21 (fifteen years ago)

xpost - that was good!

got electrolytes (The Cursed Return of the Dastardly Thermo Thinwall), Wednesday, 13 April 2011 00:21 (fifteen years ago)

Duceppe's doing great right now imo.

EveningStar (Sund4r), Wednesday, 13 April 2011 00:23 (fifteen years ago)

oh david chenpaws

got electrolytes (The Cursed Return of the Dastardly Thermo Thinwall), Wednesday, 13 April 2011 00:25 (fifteen years ago)

Layton totally just said "bling".

EveningStar (Sund4r), Wednesday, 13 April 2011 00:26 (fifteen years ago)

And "hashtag fail" - oh man, that was bad.

Sean Carruthers, Wednesday, 13 April 2011 00:26 (fifteen years ago)

i know.

got electrolytes (The Cursed Return of the Dastardly Thermo Thinwall), Wednesday, 13 April 2011 00:27 (fifteen years ago)

ugh Layton don't ever do that

Simon H. Shit (Simon H.), Wednesday, 13 April 2011 00:27 (fifteen years ago)

Harper's getting rocked on this question ... he's not really trying to refute what the others are saying though, so I guess he feels he already has strong support on this issue?

NoTimeBeforeTime, Wednesday, 13 April 2011 00:28 (fifteen years ago)

If someone says "roffle" I am SO turning this thing off.

Sean Carruthers, Wednesday, 13 April 2011 00:29 (fifteen years ago)

more or less. the people that would agree with him already do.
xpost ha ha!

got electrolytes (The Cursed Return of the Dastardly Thermo Thinwall), Wednesday, 13 April 2011 00:29 (fifteen years ago)

I think so, B4rry.

HA HAHAHA

I can't tell if Layton's "crooks in the senate" comment just got a laugh from the audience or a gasp.

Sean Carruthers, Wednesday, 13 April 2011 00:31 (fifteen years ago)

i was laughing too hard to tell

got electrolytes (The Cursed Return of the Dastardly Thermo Thinwall), Wednesday, 13 April 2011 00:31 (fifteen years ago)

sounded like a laugh to me, but it was pretty muffled

Simon H. Shit (Simon H.), Wednesday, 13 April 2011 00:31 (fifteen years ago)

Whatever it was, it was the first time I've heard any substantial response from the audience! So well done!

Sean Carruthers, Wednesday, 13 April 2011 00:33 (fifteen years ago)

I think Ignatieff has given up on the Prairie/Northern/rural vote and is aiming for the cities and Central Canada by stressing the gun registry...?

EveningStar (Sund4r), Wednesday, 13 April 2011 00:33 (fifteen years ago)

maybe!

got electrolytes (The Cursed Return of the Dastardly Thermo Thinwall), Wednesday, 13 April 2011 00:33 (fifteen years ago)

Layton is being remarkably and wisely quiet throughout this discussion though!

EveningStar (Sund4r), Wednesday, 13 April 2011 00:35 (fifteen years ago)

holy shit - it's been 90 minutes already!

got electrolytes (The Cursed Return of the Dastardly Thermo Thinwall), Wednesday, 13 April 2011 00:36 (fifteen years ago)

i think i'm drunk

got electrolytes (The Cursed Return of the Dastardly Thermo Thinwall), Wednesday, 13 April 2011 00:36 (fifteen years ago)

holy shit - it's been 90 minutes already!

I know!

EveningStar (Sund4r), Wednesday, 13 April 2011 00:37 (fifteen years ago)

"alternative service delivery"

NoTimeBeforeTime, Wednesday, 13 April 2011 00:42 (fifteen years ago)

"We need a low-tax system where we can continue to fund health care..."

EveningStar (Sund4r), Wednesday, 13 April 2011 00:47 (fifteen years ago)

Iggy losing his temper is not a good look for him

NoTimeBeforeTime, Wednesday, 13 April 2011 00:49 (fifteen years ago)

Ha, excellent final question!

EveningStar (Sund4r), Wednesday, 13 April 2011 00:49 (fifteen years ago)

Iggy has been largely appalling here, to my great dismay.

Sean Carruthers, Wednesday, 13 April 2011 00:50 (fifteen years ago)

"mr harper is offing you"

got electrolytes (The Cursed Return of the Dastardly Thermo Thinwall), Wednesday, 13 April 2011 00:51 (fifteen years ago)

I'm actually pretty offended by Duceppe's constant references to "Quebec and Canada".

EveningStar (Sund4r), Wednesday, 13 April 2011 00:57 (fifteen years ago)

You know what that debate was missing? A female perspective. Shame there isn't a female party leader who could have been, y'know, included.

Sean Carruthers, Wednesday, 13 April 2011 00:59 (fifteen years ago)

whatever. she can get a seat in the house first.
