Ignatieff and Harper: What they said

Conservative Leader Stephen Harper and Liberal Leader Michael Ignatieff got a one-on-one debate during Tuesday night's leaders' debate.

The two spoke for a total of six minutes answering this question:

I'm Sam Diamond from Mount Pearl, Newfoundland and Labrador. It's very likely whoever wins the next election will have another minority government. How do you plan on working with the other parties into a trustworthy institution that canadians can be proud of?

Using Wordle, the Star took the responses from Ignatieff and Harper to see what the most-used words were from each poltician.

The two leaders will also get a six-minute one-on-one debate in Wednesday night's French-language debate.

I think Ignatieff realised how much of a fool he made himself appear last night. To have that THING run our country is VERY, VERY SCARY.

With hand on hip displaying the real truth behind his comment, all the while espousing "respect," Mr. Ignatieff must be holding his breath hoping no one caught his disrespectful remark during the debate last night: "at least we get into government - you'll be in opposition forever." Rude and disrespectful.
