Hosted by comedy headliner Steve Patterson, The Debaters is the hit CBC Radio show that features Canada’s hottest comedians going toe to toe, debating topics in the news and on the minds of Canadians. The audience picks the winners based on who delivers the best logic and laughs, the best rhetoric and rant. Facts and force of argument can earn points, but in the end, jokes will likely win the match. Comedy trumps all.

Comics Tim Steves, Darryl Lenox, Jennifer Robertson, Glen Foster, Charlie Demers, Kate Davis and others debate a range of topics, such as:

• The CFL vs. the NFL
• Should We Market to Children?
• Plastic Bags: Keep Them or Ban Them?
• Is Higher Education Overrated?
• Do Kids Receive Too Much Praise?
• Is Nuclear Energy Necessary?
• Do Comic Book Superheroes Make Good Role Models?
