Friends are Electric

Unlike last night, where live-Tweeting the English language debate just happened, I set out tonight with the plan of doing the same for the French language debate. I do not speak French well enough to follow the debate in French, so I watched the dubbed version broadcast on the CBC website. Commentary follows.

<8:06> Not the rules as I understand them #constitution #db8 #elxn41

<8:08> Duceppe: Coalitions are legitimate. (again, why does he have to be a separatist?) #db8 #elxn41

<8:09> Ignatieff is already on the talking points, already repeated himself four times. #db8 #elxn41

<8:15> The Liberals are the clear alternative. So I've been told eight times. #db8 #elxn41

<8:19> Love these hockey references #elxn41 #db8

<8:25> Tax hikes will cause the apocalypse. #elxn41 #db8

<8:28> Layton is on about ebil banks again #db8 #elxn41

<8:35> Harper: If we raise taxes, gravity will reverse, the oceans will boil and the sun will cease to glow. #elxn41 #db8

<8:37> Duceppe states facts on forestry job losses, comparing to auto industry. Only one saying anything interesting. #db8 #elxn41

<8:47> Fun fact, crime rate in more rural provinces are higher than in cities. http://is.gd/HmYgQb. #elxn41 #db8 #guncontrol

<8:48> Than in more urban provinces*

<8:49> Here comes the dodging on Bill 101 again. #db8 #elxn41

<8:54> Eyebrows #db8

<9:04> Is it just me or does Layton's translator sound like an Irish John Wayne? #db8

<9:10> Last I heard Nutrition North wasn't so great #db8 #elxn41

<9:11> http://is.gd/8cRDKO for example on Nutrition North #nunatsiaq #db8 #elxn41

<9:12> The old food-mail program ended last fall, Nutrition North just started this month. Thats a large time delay. #db8 #elxn41

<9:33> Ignatieff is defiantly no Trudeau. #db8 #elxn41

<9:33> Fun fact: Quebec is against Aboriginal sovereignty. Sovereignty for them but no one else. Just like what he said about Canada. #db8 #elxn41

<9:35> I call BS on the billions to forestry. #db8 #elxn41

<9:44> No, Layton, the Harper government is in power because of #voters. Like it or not. #db8 #elxn41

<9:45> Ignatieff criticizing someone for wanting to be everything to everyone is kinda rich. #db8 #elxn41

<9:49> If you want to invest $12B in jobs, etc., then invest $12B, buying planes and HOPING that some jobs are made is weak policy. #db8 #elxn41

<9:55> Canada in Haiti? Don't make me laugh. We are a colonial power in Haiti. http://is.gd/kR38fm #rabble #haiti #db8 #elxn41
