    Frank Baylis impressed me.

    He had a lot of good fleshed out ideas and critiques. I initially dismissed him based on his site and platform, but hearing his ideas fleshed out in the debate I really liked him.

    I really liked how Baylis broke down Trump’s tactics and rhetoric, he felt like he had an excellent read on that situation.

    Carney I liked, but I don’t think he’s winning people over, I was hoping for a little more from him, but I did agree with all of his answers. He came across as a quiet but firm leader, which works well for heading departments, but I worry about him as a statesman.

    I still think Carney is the best candidate, Baylis wouldn’t have enough time for Canada to get to know him.

      I agree he had a lot of great ideas. My concern for him is that he was very bland and boring. He really didn’t seem to have any personality.

      My gut reaction to Baylis was that he felt like a pre-allience PC more than what I would hope to see from the Liberals.

      Anyone who suggests that running a business is a relevant qualification for running government is suspect in my view.

      Government is very much not a business, and shouldn’t be run like one.
