Party subsidies should be gone, I dont want to fund the bloc!

If they run as a coalition, say so before this election, not after.

Layton was a superstar on tuesday. I think it was one of the best moments in Canadian Politics. We all took him for granted, and he was amazing! He got all the attention and it was well deserved. Can he keep it up? I don't know, after what I saw yesterday, the moment is gone, but time will tell.

And he really also needs to be honest about his health, I know is a delicate subject and deserves much privacy but is not small potatoes what he is seeking and we deserve the truth, I mean, God forbides and he has to retire because of his health, we need to know our options and what will happen if that's the case, I strongly believe the campaign will take a heavy toll on his health and I won't be surprise if he has to leave the trail.

Great episode – but still waiting on that audio feed so I can listen to it on my ipod.

I'd be interested to hear Coyne and Wells debate the legality of a provincial government operating on the federal level. Quebec already has a provincial government. Shouldn't a federal party, by law, have to represent the entire country?
