true about the broadcast consortium formerly covering the debates. What I noticed about this one was that Macleans is a Rogers media outlet and the live broadcast was carried on Rogers tv-channels (OMNI, and others). So it was effectively a Rogers show, but I guess they branded it Macleans. They could have chosen Sportsnet for fun, or CITY-tv but it might have had the wrong spin.
regardless of the above, I wonder why the conservatives said No to the consortium thing, but yes to the above?
