Personally, i found Duceppe to be an engaging speaker, but irrelevant in the English debate. Harper definitely has the edge in experience, but Mae was quite formidable. Layton? What can I say? I've seen him about town so much as a councilor, that I can't make the leap in my mind. He is stridently left, but presented himself well. Dion did better than I expected, but not as well as in his native language.

I expect that Harper will obtain a majority in this election, even though his politics are fast becoming irrelevant and yesterday's news. We can find some comfort in that although the Conservatives are Bush wannabes, they are still closer to the american Democratic ideal than they think.
