Governments can save capitalism

AGENDA

Toronto Debating Society

Tonights event is a Cross Examination style PM/ LO debate consisting of four Debaters, a Speaker and an Adjudication judge to give the final verdict. Each speaker will speak for 5 minutes, then the next speaker will cross examine the previous speaker for 2 minutes. It's quite different and lots of fun
