Yes, since '08, but I'm still voting Tory in '15.

On another note: Mississauga, Saturday, 1-3 for the next debate.

Ah, damn. I should've grabbed a ticket. I'll be in Mississauga on Saturday for Reading Week. Dang it all.

Garneau took the gloves off today, taking dead aim at JT: dunno if this continues at the debates, doubt it helps him in the long run.

Brison criticizes Garneau.

Trudeau talks about his personal wealth.

As much as I'm not a fan of JT, I have to say his candour and admission that he's extremely fortunate comes across well.   Still the name is a lot more valuable than the $1 million he inherited.  No way he would earn that much in speaking fees if he didn't have a famous name.

Premunization against predictable attempts to define his image. Politically astute.

Now Garneau saying "I lead, you follow" on JT's Queens student debt speech. On PP promised to keep critiquing for the duration.

Whoa, that was one heated debate. That Garneau-Trudeau exchange went as expected. Then there were shots at lawyers and tree businesses, Cauchon grabbing MHF's hand, JT putting his arm around Garneau, and finally this. MHF had an initial point, then... well let's just say she didn't do herself any favours. Garneau was correct when he called it "petty."

She also insisted in the presser that she wasn't being personal. Plus the irony of a Bay Streeter slamming the class card on the table.

Wow, if Justin can't handle MHF how is he going to take on Harper?

Per Kady O'Malley, the segment was over but the moderator gave Coyne extra time. Walked off prematurely. The verbal response- pitch-perfect. Certainly didn't expect that sort of crap from MHF, whom I've always respected. For some reason none of the PPG Twitterers noted the irony of a Bay Street lawyer throwing class around.

Garneau has challenged JT to a 1-1 debate, which he has refused.

Takach is the first dropout, endorsed Trudeau.

Another Trudeau endorsee: Scott Brison.

Brison's on the right of the party. I imagine he was waiting until Trudeau's election appeared inevitable.

If that were the case, he should have endorsed him the second he announced his bid Wink

I think all candidates' endorsements are timed myself. In Brison's case, makes sense to do it just before the debate.

More endorsements incoming: BC Sen. Larry Campbell for Murray, NS Grit leader Stephen McNeil for Trudeau.

Campbell: Makes sense; he's a former mayor of her city, and I think a former New Democrat, so he's probably pro merger.

Murray interview. She just got Bruce Hyer's quasi-endorsement, per Twitter.

What about the other Campbell? - GORDON Campbell. He was Joyce Murray's idol and mentor. She was a slavishly loyal senior cabinet minister in his fanatically rightwing government. Surely he would be 100% supportive of her plan to work with the NDP against the Conservatives...on second thought

Would be kinda hard for a sitting HC to make a political endorsement. Tongue

High Commissioner. Joyce Murray's ideological backflip is kinda interesting though.

Oh.
It's a new trend to appoint former provincial Premiers to important ambassador offices?

So the debate's a wrap. Only interesting exchanges were JT-Murray on coop and JT-Garneau on the definition of "negative campaigning" (puhleeze) and plans to help the middle class. Plus MHF flipping on Northern Gateway.

Team Trudeau has raised $1 million, signed up 150k supporters and has 10k personnel.

LPC is considering whether to extend supporter registration after it belly-flopped. Reports that people didn't provide email addresses, etc. Next time stick with members or better yet, a delegated convention.

Even bigger news: Garneau is withdrawing today because he concluded it was hopeless. I thought there was something suspicious after his "loyal soldier" a couple of weeks ago.

I can attest to their management of the 'supporters' shazam being horrible. I registered to vote as one, but never really got serious confirmation (yet?) and when I threw them an email to ask about what was going on with that stuff, they never got back to me. If their communication with other supporters is that messy, no wonder it turned out to be a disaster. The LPC continues to be horribly incompetent nincompoops.

Speaking of loyal soldiers, Garneau will be endorsing Trudeau. Craig Oliver says that more will follow... yeah, this is 2003/9 all over again. He might also have not been certain of coming in third, or at least some are speculating.

Said that he's eager to help on policy front. Discussed an internal of 6000 Liberals showing 72% JT, 15% Garneau, 7% Murray, 5% MHF. Was done last week.
