From now on, the 5 candidates with the most Twitter followers get to debate. It's only fair.

Under my totally fair and scientific selection system, Doug Ford, whose campaign account only has 2,225 followers, can't debate.

OK, some people like the Twitter debate idea, so here's a new one. Not less debate…MORE debate. Stay with me…

1/ What if there were a series of debates organized by City of Toronto Elections Services; let's say…6 of them, just to choose a number.

2/ Each debate features the frontrunners and some number of lesser-known candidates. Each debate, new lesser-known candidates get a chance.

3/ Most debates are small thankless affairs that give candidates an opportunity to pay lip-services to specific groups or causes

4/ Wouldn't it be nice to create a centrally managed set of debates not organized by any particular interest group and make them inclusive?
