The only person to kick any serious rear end in this debate is the only one that hasn't a shot in hell at winning any real power, ever. Also she is usually nuts too

I've said it before and I'll say it again, no meaningful positive political change will come from within the existing system

Does every country call itself the greatest in the world, or is it just the US and the US-wannabes we have to politicians in Canada?

missed the whole drat thing. Sounds like Mulcair was pretty quiet the whole time, were there any overt attacks on him/ndp policy?

Oh, plenty from the other leaders, but he's been quiet. Unusually so.

I misread "native" there as "naïve" and wondered why that seemed so appropriate right now.

Can you elaborate on what the winning side is?

Sorry for the ultra late reply but I had to dash out mid-debate.

I'm under the impression that the NDP's policy on the clairity act is more popular in Quebec, than others. (which is why they have the most amount of seats)

I live in BC tho and get basically no Quebec news so I'd be happy to have a Quebecer tell me how it really is.

Trudeau tried to attack Mulcair for in the past having mentioned a 50%+1 vote for Quebec separation.

Mulcair responded with "Fine, what is the number for you?" trying to get Trudeau to take a stance on the issue. Trudeau tried over and over to get out of it, which lead to Mulcair asking him "So what is YOUR number?" over and over as Trudeau pretends it wasn't happening.

Watched the replay of the debate after I finally got home. I dunno I kinda liked Trudeau's closing statements. Certainly better than Mulcair's mangled ones.

Honestly given his great performance in Question Period I was expecting a lot more from Mulcair.

I've never had non-politics people talk to me about the Clarity Act but the general idea of "fed won't intervene in Quebec's decisions" probably gets a positive response.

"What's my number? Nine. Nine Supreme Court Justices" was a pretty killer response, I thought.

Really? Mulcair's question is pretty on point. Trudeau went out of his way to criticize the 50+1 standard, so a very reasonable response is: "Okay, you brought up the subject. What is a reasonable threshold of support for full sovereignty?" Coming back with, "Well, I'll leave that to the Supreme Court" is a pretty weak dodge.

Besides, Mulcair made a good positive point later in the debate. If you don't have a clear dividing line between a successful and unsuccessful referendum on sovereignty, you risk encouraging Yes votes as a kind of dissatisfaction vote. There needs to be a clear threshold, so people understand that if this thing passes (what does that mean if you leave the idea vague and punt it to the Supreme Court?), this is what will come of it.

I agree that was a good point, but it requires some reflection to understand instead of "you want quebec to separate?! "

Yeah, one of Trudeau's few good moments in the debate I thought. Mulcair looked pretty dumb trying to heckle Trudeau on that file.

It could be that he's being carefully handled by party brass and is actually better off when they just let him be himself. I'm talking out of my rear end though.
