I haven't really posted a lot about the provincial election, but they had the debate tonight.
Funniest moment of the debate, by far: "Premier McGuinty, the next question is for you, and it's about broken promises."
Watching the post-debate press conference with Howard Hampton. He just said, in a very heterosexual way: "I disagree with John Tory, but he's not a scary guy. He's not an ugly guy either."
In my riding, I've got this weird situation of the NDP candidate being a shoe-in. While this pleases me politically, it's also got me thinking about voting for a party other than my usual party. Partly because I think it's silly the Green Party is excluded from the debate, I'm half-seriously thinking about voting for my local Green candidate.
Picking the best candidate can sometimes be better than picking the best party. Too often good candidates are unelected because they are just a name on a ballot.
