I WOULD LOVE to see Michael Ignatieff debate Stephen Harper with Rick Mercer moderating! Can you imagine? It simply would not compete with anything on Canadian television in the past… oh, how many years.
Here’s Mercer’s tweet from yesterday: Ok hell i will rent massey put the camera’s in place and moderate the Harper Iggy smackdown. #elxn41 #cdnpoli
What a beautiful thing it would be, making for an amazing marriage of wit, humour, and genuine politics. It would cut through the BS – be sharper than most things we read or see every day, with far more clarity and higher stakes for both leaders. And it would absolutely spark interest in the election.
Sometimes comedy just does the news better.
