Three very intelligent men debating at a high level of sophistication. Absolutely puts our present-day debates to shame. And the best part: they actually answer each other's questions!
This should be mandatory viewing for Trudeau Jr., May, Mulcair, M Traitor, and The Right Honourable Swine Harper.
I have never and will never vote Conservative, but even Joe Clark would be a better PM than most of the candidates over the past years since Mulroney ruined this country.
Can't stop listening to Trudeau. He was brilliant. If his son can do half as good a job, we'll be OK. Proud to be Canadian again today. We don't want perfection. We want genuine effort.
None of the politicians of today are capable of matching the skill and articulation of these extraordinary men. Excellent debate, thanks for posting it!
Now this is a debate. Respectful, honourable, intelligent and articulate. It puts a shame to all that we have witnessed recently. We have much to learn by re-listening to this and by demanding that our leaders listen, respect, not interrupt but debate for the strength of eachto emerge and not their weaknesses.
Im sorry we have sunk to the level of targeted bit byte ideology currently used by our current incumbent neo-cons. This was debating,moderated and respectful.
outstanding debate! What in heavens name happened to Canadian politics in the last 35 years! Oh the humanity!

trudeau in 1979!

history repeats itself correctly!!!
The Governor General looking mighty young! But weren't we all looking young in '79?! LOL
Whatever happened to intelligent political debate? Twitter, FB, soundbite TV…
Holy crap that's the Governor General moderating…
Three amazing politicians. Everyone so cool and calm. You can tell they all respect each other. Nowadays they all just yell at each other

So civilized! Let's turn the clock back and relive that era.
"encounter '79" sounds so much hotter than what it really was
Who could have guessed at this time there are two Prime Ministers and a Governor General of Canada in this debate.
