When will we treat these election debates as what they are? When they told us that there would be six leadership hopefuls and five moderators for the one English-language debate, we knew trouble was coming. It would have been much better to drop some of the moderators and pay a

The United States’ two-party political setup may not be much of a template for actual democracy, but at least it has lots of potential for interesting leaders’ debates. A televised leaders’ debate in a vibrant multi-party democracy like Canada? Not so much. For one thing, you have to invite the

Sorry. I asked around. Couldn’t find anyone who bothered watching last night’s leaders’ debate. Not one. I suppose it has something to do with that “none of the above” attitude that permeates the general election this year. All but two were university grads, the sort who usually pay some heed

Here’s the thing about Monday’s leader’s debate, Canada. You won’t be watching it. Well, let’s amend that. Sun readers are a scrappy, elbows-up lot, who dig politics and a good scrap. Sun readers are likelier to be watching the debate. They like debates. But most everyone else? They won’t be.

So, Andrew. You don’t mind if I call you Andrew, do you? It’s better than what I sometimes used to call you, which was Blandy Andy. I stopped calling you that because you figured out a way to make the bland thing work, like Brampton Bill Davis did. You embraced

Making sense of the political sparring on Pierre Karl Péladeau’s French language television network, TVA, on Wednesday was easy.

Mark Twain, the renowned American author and one of the great raconteurs of the 19th Century, counselled: “When in doubt, tell the truth. It will confound your enemies and astound your friends.” Excellent advice, it turns out, in this political season. The author’s advice was not just about lies of
