    In the last Canadian debate one of the questions was that if you reduce housing prices how will the elderly who own all the houses afford their retirement. I thought it was ridiculous, but itā€™s interesting that itā€™s not even in the discussion tonight

        Yeah, the implication was that if anyone actually made substantial progress in reducing prices that it would result in getting less from the sale. I thought it was the worst question and missing the point but all leaders answered it as if it was a huge concern and how thereā€™d need to be balance

        Nobody really brought it up and nobody seemed to care in any of the coverage of that debate, even on that other site, so I thought maybe it would be a talking point
