I was wondering what the hell this side letter was supposed to be until I read that Miami Herald article. So fucking gay... just stupid.

I doubt very many Americans watched the Canadian debate, but here's the procedure:

The leaders of the major parties all show up with a big binder full of stuff and stand at their podiums. Starting order is randomized, and some questions are directed specifically at certain candidates because of things they've said so far in the campaign. Once the question has been asked, it's a no holds barred free-for-all of yelling. Personal attacks are virtually non-existent. Usually two or three parties gang up on the others for certain issues, and it's entertaining to watch the alliances shift depending on the question. Then there's always usual the PM vs Everyone Else part that it inevitably slides into, during which time Everyone Else tells the PM that he's doing a shitty job and the PM says, "Well if you're so good, why aren't you all running the country? HAHAHA!"

When the moderator tells you to shut up, you all shut up and wait for the next question because the moderator is the Grand Poobah. Cameras are usually focused on a wide angle shot that encompasses two or three politicians.

What's the legal issue?
