Canadians, Who 'won' the debate last night?

I didn't watch all of it, and my french isn't great. For these reasons I won't pick a winner. However, as soon as Harper said that the Canadian banks are very strong, and the Canadian economy is strong, I thought, "This is going to really hurt Harper before the election is over." So I think Harper was the 'loser' of the debate. I have other reasons for this too including how everybody bashed him, especially about listeriosis.

Some other thoughts,

May did better than I expected. She looked a little nervous at first, after about 10 minutes she settled in and started talking more.

Duceppe did a well needed good job.

Dion, he's as hard to understand in french as he is in English to someone who isn't French.

Layton, it appears he really thinks hes got a good shot at becoming the official opposition. He went right after Harper, and he was maybe the most involved early on.

As I said these are based on the first 30 minutes, that's all I watched. Thoughts?

    The sad thing about living in America is that the news doesn't cover anything that is happening outside our borders. I had no idea there was a Canadian debate last night. I didn't even know there was an election!

    The Conservatives gained because all others ganged up at the front runner and Steven Harper confirmed he as uncomplicated sense through last calm and for 2 and a 0.5 years in means in a minority authorities he did more advantageous than the 15 years the liberals were there. Jack Layton develop into 2d. could develop into rude through speaking even as others were and so develop into Dion. Duceppe develop into ineffective.

    I did not watch. None of them will do our country any good at all. I will decide who to vote for when I get into the election booth.

    It is hard to tell through translators who won the debate.
