Here's the Ottawa one, which is almost next door to the debate location itself. I suspect that many of the candidates and their teams will wind up there afterwards.

ETA: Correction, here is *an* Ottawa one. It's hosted by Paul Dewar, and takes place at the Exchange (where the Elephant and Castle was in the Rideau Centre), and goes from 2 PM to 5 PM.

Meanwhile, Tom Mulcair is hosting an "After Party" at Brixton's Pub at the other end of Sparks Street near Bank, where the NDP caucus and staff usually go drinking (as does Don Martin), and it starts at 4 PM.

I am going to have to get very sloshed in order to properly cover this leadership race, I can see!

I think it's one of Wells' rules that whatever everything thinks is going to happen in Ottawa winds up being exactly the opposite of what does happen. I like Don Martin (can't help it), but that comment is wishful thinking on his part to a certain extent, and almost certainly what his editors also want to hear.

I've watched Don Martin the odd time, trying to share your enthusiasm for him, but I've failed. Perhaps if I got sloshed with him . . .

Or you can watch it live on-line:

Thanks, Wilf. Since my Pats are 21 point favourites I can probably spare some time to watch portions of the debate.

And I heard that team Saganash will gather at Metropolitaine at 700 Sussex. Let's see if the NDP can occupy every pub within spitting distance of the Convention Centre.

Mulcair's "After Party" got promoted to a "Watch Party" starting at 2 PM. I expect I'll start at the Exchange, work my way to the Met, and finish up at Brixton's, unless Nash's people "occupy" Darcy McGee's on the way first (and Cullen's people get the jazz club, and Chisholm does the Parliament Hill Pub, and Ashton's folks get Hoops). Hic!

Hopefully Singh's campaign occupies the pharmacy around the corner, and hands out ibuprofen and lots of water ;-)

ETA: Oh dear. That doesn't leave a bar for Brian Topp's campaign. I hope they don't go to Hy's.

Seriously, is Toronto to be left out of the debate parties as well as the debates? Where do Dippers tipple in this darn town?

Oh, sorry Jeff, I thought I had posted this one I saw on Facebook to Babble, but it looks like I just sent it to Stockholm. Anyways, it a "Team Dewar" event, but the only one I've seen for Toronto:

Thanks for that. I'm not on Team Dewar, but glad to know we're not forgotten.

I think all are welcome, Jeff, but it was just a heads-up as to who organized it so people knew what they were getting in for if they went.

And another Toronto watch party, this one hosted by Libby Davies.

 

From FB: "Yup, that is right! Libby is in Toronto this week-end, and is inviting NDP friends to join her at 2PM at O'Grady's on College to watch the debate and engage in some lively discussion." 

O'Grady's is at 171 College Street
