The Globe and Mail leaders' debate
CBC News brings you breaking coverage of The Globe and Mail leaders' debate on the economy.
-
Will there be any discussion of health care funding tonight? (a topic not really discussed at all...) -
I'm afraid there is no official spot for that, but I bet leaders will bring it up. Particularly Mulcair who has been making heatlhcare announcement this week. -
Hi Rosemary, any predictions for the debate? Who do you think will surprise us tonight? -
I think they could also surprise us! They can't script everything they say here and the chance to knock someone off their game is something to watch. The polls show the race is super tight so they need to find a way to move things. This debate might be it.

Oh you testing my memory at 7:56 Federico! Ok, foreign debate hosted by Munk debates and two French ones to come.

-
Unless by some crazy reason the Tories decide they will do more than five...but I don't think that will happen.
-
-
I've got one
from Twitter - What is the significance of tonight's debate? -
It may be of NO significance, but I doubt it. These leaders have to show they have the best plan for the economy which all of you care about and they have to try and move things in terms of getting your vote. I think it will matter. How much? That I can't tell you...yet.

A sampling of comments to the live blog:
Over 20000 viewers on YouTube, good start.
Wayne_Comeauat 9:03 PMHas a candidate ever given an answer that has surprised people? They all just seem to repeat what they've been saying since the beginning. I hope someone is caught off guard tonight ;)
Megan Preeceat 8:56 PMPreventative health care can save this country billions. Has anyone made that part of their economic platform?
