Day Three of this year's Canada Reads competition saw some of the most intense and spirited discussions of the show so far. The show began with an opportunity for the remaining champions to attempt to change the minds of panellists who had voted against their book in previous episodes. The panellists also had a chance to address criticisms of their books made on social media. The ensuing debate lead to a tense final vote.
