The 2009 edition of Canada's Next Great Prime Minister aired last night across Canada and after a fierce debate hosted by Alex Trebek and judged by former Prime Ministers Brian Mulroney, Joe Clark, Kim Campbell and Paul Martin, Calgary native Amy Marlene Robichaud won the competition and was awarded $50,000 and paid internships. Congratulations Amy! The three runners up were also awarded cash prizes $5000 and paid internships.

Amy was the second person to enter this season's competition which began online when we asked young Canadians aged 18-25 to post a video to YouTube telling us what they would do to improve Canada politically, socially and economically. Candidates challenged one another's platforms with additional videos and debates in our forums. They also responded to weekly video challenges asking for their opinions on current affairs. Finally, ten semifinalists were selected to come to Toronto to compete head to head at political bootcamp where our four finalists were selected to compete on the nationally televised show.

You can view Amy's activity through this whole process on her profile pages. To see all semifinalist activity, start here and to see videos from all candidates this year, click here.

UPDATE 6 p.m. ET: We're still in the process of preparing the web version of the show. We'll have it online for you Friday. Thanks for your patience and for the great chat during show night. Please check back Friday for the video.
