Include Elizabeth May in the 2015 Leaders' Debates!

Leaders' debates that exclude Elizabeth are missing an important voice for democracy. Over 80% of Canadians in a recent EKOS poll said they want Elizabeth included. Add your voice to protest!

Canadians want and deserve to hear the Green Party Leader Elizabeth challenge the other federal leaders in the Globe and Mail, Munk, and TVA debates, too.  Globe and Mail and Munk Debates need to hear from Canadians that Elizabeth is needed. Sign our petition below, sign the Green Party of Canada petition too, and write or email:

Globe & Mail

Address: The Munk Debates c/o The Aurea Foundation, The Gate House, Massey College, 4 Devonshire Place, Toronto, ON M5S 2E1

 

Adding insult to injury, Mulcair's refusal to participate in the televised National Broadcasters’ debates is a clear attempt to shut Elizabeth May out. These are the debates that will be seen by at least 14 million Canadians from coast to coast to coast. Change.org has a petition to sign asking all leaders to participate.

 "Democracy is worth fighting for" (Elizabeth May, Green Party Leader).

    The wide recognition of Elizabeth May’s very positive contributions to the House of Commons is just one rationale for including her in the leader’s debates.

    Without Elizabeth, the debates will be 3 men trying to score points off one another. With her, they will focus on what Canada needs.

    Without Elizabeth May in the debate, it will not have any credibility what so ever. She has proven time and time again that she is the most credible party leader in current Canadian politics and has more than earned the right to be in the leaders’ debate . Clearly she is viewed as a threat to the others and their capabilities in this forum.
