CPAC has posted video of last night’s by-election debate in Toronto-Centre, featuring the scruffy charm of a riding debate, some incessant ranting about the need for proportional representation and the fascinating competition between Chrystia Freeland and Linda McQuaig. Ms. McQuaig seems more comfortable in this setting and was certainly the more aggressive of the two and the last question of the debate goes directly at Ms. Freeland’s history of residence. Ms. Freeland was also hit yesterday with an exploration of her time as a manager.

Meanwhile, Justin Trudeau and Thomas Mulcair campaign in Brandon-Souris amid speculation about where that vote is going.
