WWWTT Posted April 1, 2011 Report Posted April 1, 2011 Didn't this guy moderate the last debate? Is this the only guy that can do this? How about someone who is a visible minority or a woman? Or someone who is not from Ontario or Quebec. I am sure that there are many people from across Canada more than qualified for this job and since elections only happen once every so many years(in theory)a more diverse approach should be taken.

How is the gender and race of the moderator relevant? Why does it matter? If Paikin moderated the last debate, he clearly has the most relevant experience to moderate this one. I see no need to make this an affirmative action job. Quote

If Paikin moderated the last debate, he clearly has the most relevant experience to moderate this one. I see no need to make this an affirmative action job. I answered your question in the original quote Since elections only happen once every so many years then a more diverse approach should be taken. In other words there are more than one opinion in Canada and other approaches to refereeing the debate should be explored to reflect the integral diversity of Canada. If Paikin was sincerely un-biased he would have taken the high road and refused to moderate this debate. WWWTT Quote Maple Leaf Web is now worth $720.00! Down over $1,500 in less than one year!

Saipan Posted April 1, 2011 Report Posted April 1, 2011 Since elections only happen once every so many years then a more diverse approach should be taken. Yes! We should have more than one Prime Minister that is not from Quebec. Quote
WWWTT Posted April 1, 2011 Author Report Posted April 1, 2011 What have you got against Paikin? Why do you want to discriminate against him? Is it because he's from Hamilton? Or that he's male? If you do not discriminate against him then you discriminate against others. He has already moderated one debate,fine. Time to move on,there are many qualified people who can fairly moderate a debate. Keep in mind that the moderator does slightly influence the debate and he in my opinion has done so in the last English debate of 08.And any other moderator will do the same and there are other views in Canada. I use to live in Hamiton Bill and I lived in southern Ontario all my life,but southern Ontario is not the centre of Canada. Yes we have a big perspective,but there are others and lets give others a voice here. WWWTT Quote Maple Leaf Web is now worth $720.00! Down over $1,500 in less than one year!

capricorn Posted April 1, 2011 Report Posted April 1, 2011 How about someone who is a visible minority or a woman? WWWTT Sir WWWTT, you omitted First Nations from your list. Why is this? Quote "We always want the best man to win an election. Unfortunately, he never runs." Will Rogers
Bonam Posted April 1, 2011 Report Posted April 1, 2011 I answered your question in the original quote Since elections only happen once every so many years then a more diverse approach should be taken. Why? If anything, given the importance of elections and election results, one could make the argument that a more consistent approach should be taken. In other words there are more than one opinion in Canada and other approaches to refereeing the debate should be explored to reflect the integral diversity of Canada. Indeed, there are certainly a range of opinions and approaches. Why do you feel these alternative opinions or approaches cannot be adequately represented by a White male? If anything, it would be one's previously expressed political opinions that would be the greatest indicator of having a different approach/opinion, not one's race or gender. I can see if you wanted someone else to moderate the debate, but you specifically stated that it should be a woman and/or visible minority. Why do you feel the need to apply affirmative action to the position of debate moderator? Quote

Excellent,very good!Keep the creative juices flowing man! WWWTT So the point of this thread is to go through a laundry list of visible minorities. Perhaps we should have a mute moderator. That might add some spice! Quote

Sounds like you do not like someone proposing we change your white male 6'+ blue eyed dominance over who runs Canada. What ever happened to multiple moderators?Why have something as important as this be controlled by one single person? I believe that this debate is very important.Expecially since Harper avoids answering any questions and therefore this subject does have merit. WWWTT Quote Maple Leaf Web is now worth $720.00!

Moonlight Graham Posted April 1, 2011 Report Posted April 1, 2011 Why are we only allowing humans to moderate these debates? Why are we discriminating against animals? And inanimate objects? I would like to see a bucket of cookie-dough ice-cream moderate this debate. Or possibly a sheet of drywall.
