While the latest leaders' debate featured Justin Trudeau, Stephen Harper and Thomas Mulcair sniping at each other, Calgary's mayor gave the best commentary from the front row.
Credit where due. This pre debate is very interesting. Insightful commentary from all the panelists. No real spin. #GlobeDebate

Spoke too soon. The panel has now gotten into horse-race and handicapping. Boring. Let's stick to real policy differences. #GlobeDebate

Ok, it's actually super-awkward to live-tweet #globedebate from the front row, since the leaders are only a few metres away. I'll still try.

Somehow we got into pensions. But none of them say what they'll do about it. What happened to jobs, which was the question? #GlobeDebate

JT attacks TM on environment rather than SH. Interesting. TM getting mad. #globeDebate

2nd big punch of night from JT: "Harper claims to be Alberta's best friend but has hurt oil sector. With friends like these..." #globedebate

TM on jobs: can't put all your eggs in (energy) basket and then drop basket. creating manufacturing jobs (how?), childcare. #GlobeDebate

SH reaching out to immigrant communities -- "they're family people, they're entrepreneurs" but doesn't discuss his policy. #GlobeDebate

TM now sounding like an anti-tax crusader. What strange world is this? #GlobeDebate
— Naheed Nenshi (@nenshi) September 18, 2015
Fact check someone, please. SH: "we have not cut Heath care from immigrants and refugees". I recall a newsletter from my MP. #GlobeDebate

Battery will be gone soon and i left the backup in the car. So if I stop you know why. :-) #GlobeDebate

The real question: was it worth missing Shania for this? #GlobeDebate
— Naheed Nenshi (@nenshi) September 18, 2015
Ok, that's really is it for the battery and no one in the room is handing me their phone. :-) Thanks for following along! #GlobeDebate
