live from the edmonton-strathcona forum.

I'm sitting in a 300-400 person audience at the Edmonton-Strathcona all-candidates forum at the Myer Horowitz Theatre with Legendary Campaign Manager Chris Henderson.

It's been a generally low-key forum, but the most loaded question of the night came right off the bat as an audience member launched an abortion-taser combo question to Conservative incumbent Rahim Jaffer. In response, the best and most clever quote of the night goes to Green candidate Jane Thrall:
"I'm not sure what the Green policy is on tasers, but I can assure you that we won't use them on pregnant women."

    I thought Jane was quite good, actually - I was impressed by her presence and her ability to respond in succinct phrases.
