- CBC reporter Janella Hamilton noted the debate featured several feisty exchanges, highlighting the sharp ideological differences that have defined the leadership race throughout the campaign.
- The Conservatives began sending ballots to more than 42,000 party members today, with the leadership winner to be declared at a convention on May 30.
