Walz and Vance to face off during VP debate
Tim Walz and JD Vance will face off on the debate stage tonight in a matchup political experts say is likely to focus on who's too weird for the White House.
Walz, the Democratic governor of Minnesota, and Vance, the Republican senator from Ohio, will exchange barbs during the only debate for vice-presidential hopefuls ahead of November's election.
Walz made it to national prominence by labelling the Republican ticket "weird," particularly pointing to his rival's comments about abortion and so-called childless cat ladies.
Todd Graham, a professor of debate at Southern Illinois University, says both have three objectives: defend the top of their ticket, attack the top of the other ticket and prove they are capable of being president if they had to step in.
Political experts have said Vice-President Kamala Harris dominated the presidential debate last month by prodding Donald Trump into tirades far from the his intended goals of focusing on immigration and the economy.

Bloc puts pension pact up for vote in the House
The Bloc Qu茅b茅cois will try and put the squeeze on the Liberals today by calling for a debate in the House of Commons about increasing old age pension payments for all seniors.
Bloc Leader Yves-Fran莽ois Blanchet has given the government until Oct. 29 to green-light the estimated $16-billion cost of his party's pension bill, or else he will begin talks with other opposition parties to bring down the government.
Acquiescing to the Bloc's demands, however, will only buy the government a few months of support.
The Bloc plans to use its opposition day motion to call on the government to support the pension bill as soon as possible, and it's asking the other parties to support that call.
The vote is expected later this week and it may shed light on whether the government plans to agree to the Bloc's terms.
