A few of your thoughts to close out our coverage. Note that Mulcair and Duceppe will scrum too... here
Niqab controversy flares up at French-language debate
Tonight's French-language debate quickly devolved into a series of heated shouting matches, with the five party leaders battling over issues including the economy, the Senate and the question of the niqab and whether government services should only be given to those who reveal their faces. -

it was an interesting and lively debate that covered a broad base of topics. what was particularly interesting was Mr. Duceppe's ending comments. throughout the debate he spoke to the people of Quebec as well as Canadians and at the end of the debate, he only spoke to the people of Quebec. Hmmmmm...what does that say to everyone else? Just an observation... -
-
It needs to be said, this, the promoted Quebec language debate is the most uncontrolled discussion... I have ever witnessed. Please share with me, how anyone could follow this garbled presentation of thought? I am watching it. In this moment, I can not follow it, as every participant speaks with out recognition and respect of the other. If we all try and talk "over" the other, if our politicians, the very leaders of our society, can not present thought in a more respectful and controlled manner... how can anyone, any group, any province within the collective needs of a nation, possibly hope to move forward? We are Canadian, a nation of people, respected globally, who need to hold our elected representatives to standard that is higher than that which we witnessed this evening.
-
It hurts to see Harper simply sitting back and allowing the left and centrists to tear each other apart.
They risk splitting the vote completely and giving Harper another possible majority -
Mulcair is very forceful en francais quand il parle de 50%+1.
-
Seriously! I wish you people would LISTEN to the questions and ANSWER the questions that are asked. I am tired of hearing about how the Liberals are going to stop sending milllionaires cheques, I am tired of hearing that 'most Canadians' think....., you are NOT listening to the questions and you are not listening to Canadians!

What none of the leaders is saying out loud is that due to the FTA/NAFTA Canada is not ALLOWED to refine its oil products nor is it allowed to lower the price of gas for its own citizens!
-
Say what they may, but I appreciate Trudeau's consistent message.
-
I am tired of Mulcair trying to ride the coatails of a hero (Tommy Douglas). Sorry, Mulcair - you just aren't cutting it

Elizabeth May is the only leader who focused on issues that matter instead of politicizing issues that sidetrack from what matters

Well, I think we can all agree on the last point from Bird's Hill Bob.
