I was very impressed with Elizabeth May during the debate
I had made up my mind to vote NDP (I live in Vancouver-Central) but after seeing the debate, I may vote Green. However, the NDP candidate has the best chance to oust Hedy Fry. I definitely have to ponder this decision for a bit longer.

Was anyone else impressed by May at the debate? I really liked her stance on disallowing private clinics AND funding of the arts. I feel the Greens won't kowtow to the US.

2. She's good
but I'm not happy with the Liberals nationally. Anyway, did you watch the debate? Pretty good--they all ganged up on Harper. :)

3. I did watch the debate, and I loved Elizabeth May
But I'm curious to know why your goal is to knock off one of the most progressive members of parliament?

4. Hedy is progressive
but NDP and the Greens are, by far, more progressive. I'm also not happy with the Liberals as a national party. I think the Liberals have failed miserably as an Opposition party. Fry will probably win my riding and I'm okay with that, but I'd love to see the NDP make gains and really challenge the Conservatives.

Also, I prefer the NDP stance on health care. I'm very much against any form of private health care creeping into Canada. I've lived in the States and there is NO way I'd ever trade our system for their system.
