The debating society

Sunday, September 23, 2007 | 03:09 PM ET

Put aside some time Tuesday night at 7 o'clock for a serving of politics, as the leaders' debate gets underway.

It won't be a serving that's raw; if we've learned anything over successive elections, each debate is more processed - if not refined - than the last. The leaders are not only well coached on what to say, but the rules of the game prohibit much of an extended, back-and-forth exchange in which real ideas get picked apart. (For some, that's the definition of a debate, but that's another story.)

The debate will be hosted by NTV, and carried on CBC airwaves - and live over the regional website.
