THB that Quebec should field its own national sports teams. Hmmm – I suppose the American rooms will make Texas analogies?
This is the last round today. See you in the morning!

Richard gives the briefing and encourages plenty of constructive feedback. Sent from my Verizon Wireless BlackBerry
The briefing is underway. Nice group of debaters, I hear 20 rooms are in order. Two rounds tonight and three tomorrow. The most exciting thing is the depth of the judging pool. I believe there are over 120 judges expected, many of which have achieved great things as debaters. I expect the participants will get some really great advice post-round.
Greetings from Toronto, where this afternoon the Hart House IV starts. This is my favorite tournament so I expect I will be posting a lot. For now we are just enjoying the city until the debates begin later this afternoon. And of course the Canadian dollar has hit parity with the US dollar just in time for me to change my money.
Here is a video of a Worlds Debating workshop conducted by Chris Croke and Steve Hind, the current WUDC Champions from Sydney Union. The workshop is one of the best we've done, I think. This was at King's College, Manhattan.
Secondly, here's a video of a public debate that St. John's Debate Society members put on for the campus in our public debate series. The motion was: This House supports a nuclear Iran.
Enjoy! I am off to the Hart House tournament this weekend in Toronto, and hopefully will be liveblogging the events there. We'll see how much it's going to cost to run my blackberry up there.
