Great to have Blair and Barker back on TV. I'm not sure if they are the Battling Bickersons or are married. @SNJeffBlair

As he did in 2016 Trump had a clear message of actions he was going to take while Harris was vague and general in regard to what she was going to do. It doesn't matter whether you achieve your plans just state what they are.

Meanwhile in parts of the US gas is selling for $2,79 US for a US gallon. This equates to C$3.83 for 3.79 litres or $1.01 Cdn per litre. Perhaps the CPC could promise to bring Cdn. gas prices down to US levels.

How about those Canadian women!! Black Ferns beaten by Canada for first time; Canada claim Pacific Four series title. Beating the New Zealand team, Australia and the US on the road is a great achievement. Well done ladies.
