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:

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).

    Sign the petition: Include Elizabeth May in the 2015 Leaders' Debates! Rumour has it that Mulcair and the fascist plan to oppose her inclusion in the debate. Her voice is needed

    Elizabeth May’s voice is needed in the National debate.

    Why would the other leaders oppose her ? It makes no sense.

    The voice of reason must be heard. Elizabeth is a bright mind that has earned the right to be included.

    Elizabeth May needs to be included in the leaders’ debates. She will have well thought-out points of view which will ensure helpful discussions rather than the usual “attach the other party” approaches so common in these debates. In fact, I feel there should be very firm rules that restrict the leaders to presenting their plans for dealing with issues rather than criticizing somebody else’s approach. Elizabeth can be trusted to state her position clearly.

    I have often wondered why the party is not represented in the debate. This helps to keep the emerging Green Party out of the public’s eye, and is not a good thing for democracy!
