The Leaders' Debates Commission has some explaining to do. Do we not have enough right-of-centre news agencies that they have to invite Rebel and True North to the post-debate scrum? What a joke.

Sometimes the combination of arrogance and ignorance is breathtaking. Yes, US health care has high admin costs; that's because it relies so much on private insurers. Govt-run health insurance has much lower overhead
