Was Harper being truthful when he said he would debate Ignatieff one-on-one? Gilles Duceppe has already called him a liar when Harper said there was no plan in 2004 to build a political coalition to replace the then-Liberal government. And Harper clings to F-35 costs that are grossly inaccurate according to the parliamentary budget officer.

Do Canadians really want a Prime Minister guilty of recurring pathological inexactitudes?

I hardly think Harper is chicken, what will this debate benefit anyone. Remember a debate is not a Q&A session it is a BS session used to make a point, not prove one.

Again I say what has the Conservatives in general or Mr. Lauzon in particular done for SD&SG. How many new jobs were created for taxpayers in this riding? How many taxpayers in SD&SG actually got one of those jobs? How well did Mr. Lauzon represent this riding in Parliament?
