The five leaders of Quebec's leading political parties are facing off for the first time in TVA's Face-à-Face debate. The format is... interesting, alternating between open discussions and one-on-one confrontations. In a small room full of passionate politicians with big personalities, however, the rules are blurred.

Between at least some successful jabs and substantive discussions, the debate easily devolves into cacophony — especially since, it seems, all of the leaders' mics are live at all times.
