Episode Details

Longtime broadcaster John Moore has moderated Toronto election debates with as many as nine candidates on stage at once, and he breaks down exactly what happens when that many people compete for the same microphone at the same time.

He also reveals what kind of debate, John believes, is the most successful and valuable to the voter. And also, how to candidates reveal themselves within a debate.

For anyone planning to attend a local debate this fall, John lays out the one rule he actually uses to decide when a candidate has crossed the line and needs to be cut off.
