Canadians, if you want to watch tonight’s first presidential debate in the U.S., you can do so via Twitter, as the social network recently announced a live streaming partnership with Bloomberg. The feed is a global deal, so it’ll be available to stream in Canada (Twitter Canada confirmed this).

You have to love U.S. politics, folks. Get ready for the show tonight.

Donald, how’ve you been? Long time no see.
How nice of Twitter to give us access to the debate but not Thursday Night Football (I know, I know, really Bell or whoever has the rights that screws us).
What time??
That would be helpful!
Starts at 6pm PDT/9pm EDT
