Canadian English Debate

Tonight's federal debate was interesting - not exciting, but interesting. No real winner in my mind.

But there was one thing that stood out: Jack Layton never failed to finish every answer with some variation of: "and I'll ensure that happens if you send more NDP members to the House of Commons". Over & over & over again he uttered this tagline.

It reminded me of the times I looked into buying a used car. Almost every single response from the Used Car Salesman ended in: "and what can I do to put you into this car today?".

Jimmy Pattison has a good record of hiring ex-NDP leaders. Maybe Layton should leave his business card with him before he departs Vancouver!
