9:51 - The Jays won. - SF9:45 - Walmsley: I'm sure you'd agree we had a debate tonight. A highly anticipated, extraordinary debate debate. -HB9:44 - Wow is it just me or was that just an absolutely extraordinary exchange of ideas. - SF9:44 - DING! - JV9:41 - 'They cut seniors!' - Stephen Harper. - JV9:40 - Here's the 2015 election in one image. - SFYes, more print reporters doing broadcast. That's what this night needs.

9:36 - Anyone know how Elizabeth May's doing? This was quite the claim. -HBStephen Harper's three Ts and two Is is Titties. — Justin Ling (@Justin_Ling)September 18, 2015
9:35 - Trudeau: "Mr. Harper, you've had deficits in good times, you've had deficits in bad time. You've had deficits on a train, you've had deficits in the train. You've had deficits in a car, you've had deficits from afar. You've had deficits in a box, you've had deficits like a fox. You've had deficits in Alberta, you've had deficits with Pablo Neruda." - JLWho is rocking Twitter for the — Green Party Canada (@CanadianGreens)September 16, 2015

9:21 - Mulcair has a cop son and an immigrant wife who works in palliative care and he loves kitchen parties #swoon - HB9:20 - Mulcair tells the story about the time he met a couple with high student debt. Relevant: the NDP has thus far not announced a single thing to offset tuition costs or student debt. - JL9:17 - David Walmsley is a wee bit annoying, mate. #ladsladsladslads - JV9:16 -Why are the water glass tables so little? — Bob Kronbauer (@BobKronbauer)September 18, 2015
9:14 - This debate is losing steam. Like the economy, question mark….- JV9:11 - If I owned stocks or a home or a pension or capital gains or a car or a rental property or a suit I would find this debate extremely informative. -SF9:11 - Trudeau says Mulcair's plan will do nothing to hike taxes for bank executives. Except that the NDP plan to close the tax loophole for stock options actually would significantly increase the tax bill for many CEOs. Trudeau's plan would, indeed, create a new tax bracket for every penny you make over $200,000. It's basically one form of wealth redistribution telling you that the other form of wealth redistribution sucks. - JLI could not agree more, Mr. Mulcair. — Justin Ling (@Justin_Ling)September 18, 2015

9:03 - Mulcair's dad jokes win the debate. - JV9:01 - Harper: Housing is a great story, there once was a country that didn't have any homeless people, and it was Canada, and everyone could afford to live in downtown Toronto, the end. - HB9 - Student debt is getting in the way of you procreating according to Mulcair. Maybe we just don't want babies, and would rather spend those student debt payments on drinking and having safe sex? - NL8:56 - Mulcair says we need to stop using concerns about security to stop us from letting refugees in the country. If you ask me, Mulcair should make the case that letting in more refugees is good for national security. Nobody wants to place a bunch of displaced, dispossessed people in a refugee camp in deplorable conditions alongside radicalized agitants (maybe not a word). Maybe giving people a good home (at least until their country isn't on fire) is a good way to counter extremism and to help our stressed Eurozone allies like Hungary from having to shoulder this burden. - JL8:55 - Walmsley sounds a lot like Liam Neeson. 'I don't know who you are, but I am a man with a very specific set of skills and I will send Robyn Doolittle after you.' - JV8:55 - Trudeau: Families need to stand up to tyrants, dictators and terrorists; Me: How many shots do I take for that sentence? #DrinkingGame -HBMULCAIR JUST MADE A POT BURN AT TRUDEAU — Justin Ling (@Justin_Ling)September 18, 2015

In case you were wondering. - JL8:33 - Justin Trudeau wants to go to Paris. Highlander the TV show was shot there. - JV8:32 - Mulcair: "Rip and ship, ring my bell, roop doop doop" - HB8:31 - Serious thing — Mulcair sounds actually really coherent on carbon tax. Basically points out that a carbon tax doesn't actually do much to discourage waste (it's a sin tax on consumers who may not be able to change their consumption patterns, like driving to work.) Whereas cap and trade would move money to sustainable industry and encourage heavy industry to reduce energy-intensive development. So. Good for Tom. - JL8:27 - If you're watching with the sound off, Harper probably isn't drunk FYI - HB8:26 - #votewaterstools2015 - SF
