VIVE LE CANADA!



The Debaters: Jack Layton of the National Democratic Party, Gilles Duceppe -  Bloc Québécois, Stephen Harper – Conservative Party, and Michael Ignatieff, Liberal Party

In the recently televised Canadian Débats Des Chefs – the debate was not about the best tarte tatin; rather it was regarding public policies on which the four leading political party leaders were verbally sparring to win scores with the Canadian public. The second-largest country in the world will be having a federal election on May 2nd. The party that wins the majority of electoral districts or “ridings” as they are called gets the plum Prime Ministerial post.
