The televised debate is the one venue for the leaders of the main
parties to look each other in the eye, challenge their opponents,
and pick apart promises.
A number of people in Ottawa invited their friends and colleagues—
and CBC—into their homes to watch, groan, and gripe at the leaders
and their performances during the Sept. 23 debate.
One debate party was made up of people with an interest in health
care; the other was concerned with education. Below is edited audio
from each debate party. Further on there's more CBC.ca coverage
of the debate, and the issues raised.
