I listened to the English debate last night and was impressed with Dion: so often I was surprised it was a liberal talking and kept asking Leo if it was Duceppe. Also, May clearly had the information at her fingertips. I'm definitely voting Green, but it's interesting that the leaders debate only reinforced the impressions I got of the local candidates when they spoke at our school.
The Conservative Candidate was a no-show.
Olivia Chow totally talked down to the kids and didn't answer questions.
Christine Innes was smart, professional, but a little boring and tended to take too long to get to the point.
Stephen LaFrenie wore old cargos and a tshirt, but was able to speak at the right level for the kids, had the facts to hand and was clearly passionate about the issues. He also walks the walk: he makes about 10,000 a year and spends a lot of his time working with Haitian relief organizations.

I just can't stomach voting for Chow.
