Not going to write so much about the English debates, going on now, as anyone interested enough to read about it can just as easily watch it.

A few notes, Harper got royally smacked for sucking up to George Bush. Deservedly so.

Layton is, once again, speaking a different, more positive language than the rest. While the other leaders argue over scandals and specific incidents, Layton seems to be in a different debate altogether.

Layton sprung a bit of a surprise on Martin, saying that he met with US congressmen and saw the budget numbers for the missile defense program, which included weapons in space, despite Martin's denials.

Duceppe is again stepping up to attack Harper. This might have the effect of reducing the Liberal-Tory split in some Quebec ridings and actually hurt the Bloc.

Martin is trying to turn a question about missile defence into a peacekeeping commitment, I'm unaware of teh logical connection between the two.

... Double-entendre of the night belongs to Gilles Duceppe on Canada-US relations: "Being a friend doesn’t mean you’re kneeling in front of them."
