How are you guys going to work together? Good question.
Harper says he wants a majority. Ignatieff goes after him, face on. He should speak more straight to camera.
Harper is contemptuous of contempt. Mentions another election. Doesn’t mention “coalition”!
Iggy: “You haven’t earned a majority…you toss people out because you’re afraid they might ask a tough question!”
He hits him hard. This part’s a clip.
That’s what Iggy said, then he imitates flowers blooming. That’s a first for a leaders’ debate.
Harper seems medicated. He is being accused of myriad crimes and doesn’t break stride. Unflappable, so far.
The set, by the way, resembles a number of original series Star Trek episodes.
Looks flustered. Calls Paikin “Mr. Speaker,” sputters.
Iggy moves in to draw blood. Mentions Bev Odious, says “you abused democracy.” Good moment, but camera angle was weird.
Harper doing the “nothing to see here” schtick.
Duceppe goes back at Parliamentary contempt issue. Quotes the old Stephen Harper, like Layton did.
Harper parries, doesn’t lose his cool. Layton goes back it. Mentions Senate, fingers Conservative fraudsters in the Senate!
Harper talks about the environment. Is he aware his skin tone is not a colour found in the environment?
Layton is now “Drunk Tank” Layton.
Harper hasn’t stumbled, neither has Iggy.
Who needs the knockout?
Succinct, not bad. Duceppe knocks him back by saying his foreign policy comes from the Bush family. Ouch!
He calls Harper’s government “Canada.” Not good.
Meanwhile, Jack just said “heck” on prime time TV. My sons looked up from their homework.
Layton scores big hit on Iggy and Steve on Afghanistan. It remains the dumbest decision Ignatieff ever made – listening to Bob Rae on extending our troops’ stay there.
Layton is undeterred. He’s after anti-war Liberals. May work.
Iggy goes back at him. “Let’s help the Afghans defend themselves for four more years.”
Layton is unimpressed. “It’s the same argument we’ve been hearing for years.” Then he goes after Iggy’s credibility. Big moment, here.
Ignatieff should cut him off. Doesn’t.
Iggy brings it back to foreign affairs, does it well. Iggy tells a story about a young woman going to Kenya. Others let him finish.
Iggy did okay. No one scores big hits.
Stephen Harper: still orange.
The Eighties called, Jack. They want their tie back.
And I haven’t heard the word “coalition” once yet!
It’s a breakthrough!
“Daddy, everyone else is making fun of Stephen Harper.”
So far, however, Harper is turning in a good debate.
Iggy on jets, prisons, and “corporate tax giveaways.” Harper promises not to “spend a dime” on the jets anytime soon.
He will, however, spend your dimes on fancy haircuts!
Paikin is losing control. Overtalk, blah blah blah.
Harper’s haircut, I must admit, looks damn good. I’m almost glad I paid $10,000 for it.
