Thanks for the heads up Kevin, I watched and was very pleased with what Jack had to say. He seems to know what he's talking about, not just playing for the cameras or rehearsed, Mansbridge was really pushing the down side of NDP and Jack did not take the bait he responded intelligently and with a direct plan. I am more convinced that they are the party for Canada this election.

Jack did a fine job. I was a little surprised at Mansbridge trying to push the negative, but that's life I guess.

I don't think Mansbridge was doing that on purpose or anything. I've watched him in many one on ones, and he always asked those tough questions. He did the same thing with Paul Martin.

We should appreciate Mansbridge when he ask tough questions and gets the guest off guard. How a person responds under pressure and faced with tough questions is an important way of understaning the person. I found Paul Martin did a poor job with tough questions.
