How do you feel about the Rogers/570 Debates so far?

I think the title is pretty explanatory. I'm just curious what people think of the debates.

How do you find the format?

Are the right questions being put to candidates? (given the areas they are running in for example)

Do you feel that given the questions vs the time allotted that candidates are able to adequately answer questions put to them?

If anything, with regards to the debate, what would you change in the years to follow?

Terrible for one reason: I have Bell TV and thus have no access to the debates. Sorry Rogers.

Point taken. Kara Harrison, the moderator for the debates, she did mention something about them being available online I think.

All of the debates seem to have the same questions. All candidates seem very nervous and I really don't like the moderator. So my opinion is that they seem somewhat boring. I have learned more about the candidates from their websites. Again, just my opinion.

I think it's unfortunate that (unless I've missed something) there is no online copy of the debates that we can watch. Some of us are busy during the debates, and I was really hoping to get to hear how the candidates respond with their feet to the fire.

I think a lot of them are being rebroadcast up until the election. I'm sure that I saw somewhere that some of them are airing again over the weekend.

I agree. It would be nice to have them uploaded onto the rogers site.
Also, for those that can listen rather than sit and watch, the live debates are also on 570 News at the same time.

Or even just a transcript of them, but in this day in age, how could there not be an online copy?
