I liked it when she said she would be a big part of the next government. With Mulcair I think that's a given. I've read some outrageous analysis today but this was the best:

Most impressive display of climate change ownership: May

Green leader Elizabeth May owned the issue during the debate, which is sad because ownership of this territory appears limited to the leader with no chance of winning the election. -- CP


Most adept wonk: Tie, Mulcair and May

The best-briefed debater who presented facts and statistics as well as rhetoric in answers? NDP leader Thomas Mulcair and May share this honour, and leave this observer hoping for a Mulcair government influenced by a ginger group of Green MPs, who clearly have some things to teach him, particularly on pipeline policy and military adventurism.
