Watching the Canadian English leader’s debate probably didn’t have a defining moment for most people. Instead, they were treated to five party leaders saying what they thought would be best for the country, and how as prime minister, they would do a better job than the others. The dynamics of the debate were different than previous ones as it was the first time that a Canadian Green Party leader was allowed to participate. Elizabeth May held her own and injected some new ideas, bringing up some critical issues such as Chapter 11 of NAFTA. Her position is that it needs to be re-opened and fixed. Jack Layton has also vowed that an NDP government would make it a priority to fight to re-open NAFTA, including removing Chapter 11 from the agreement.

- by Dave RustonSun Oct 12, 2008 3:58 amI`m voting for my local independent candidate Jody Di Bartolomeo because he is the only candidate in my riding {Welland) that has the backbone to mention scrapping NAFTA. Not to mention, the Niagara Health system, who are nothing more than agents of privatization, are orchestrating a mass closure of small town hospitals and are in favour of concentrating services into the bigger centres (Welland, Niagara Falls, st. Catharines) which of course, will all be privatized hospitals. Di Bartolomeo talks about scrapping NAFTA, the WTO, and also talks about maintaining Canadian sovereignty. He also mentions monetary reform, whereby the Canadian government prints the money needed for the Canadian economy, as opposed to allowing the private banks create the money out of thin air and continue this economy of debt, which not only causes inflation, but puts our federal government in a position of debt and servitude!
