French language debate

Wow, tonight's French language debate among Canada's five political leaders was really boring!
Each leader had a designated interpreter to provide simultaneous English translation for TV viewers. The moderator had one as well. It is obvious that all but one interpreters are natural French speakers. As they all carry an eccent, the thing became really dull after a while. Remember the debate format was more like a round table discussion. The least dull voice was that of the female interpreter who provided voice for the female Green Party leader; her tone managed to match the leader's fiestiness.
I was watching in bed. In spite of my deep interest, I soon felt asleep.
