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).

    Please include Elizabeth May in all debates. Her voice is often the most important and UNscripted. Thank you

    Keep pushing. Canadians need to hear what Elizabeth has to say. If the other leaders don’t want to hear it what does it say about them?

    It is unethical to exclude Ms. May from any of the leaders’ debates, particularly given what a proven track record she now offers in Parliament.

    It is imperative that all parties in the election should have opportunity to participate in the debates. This will help to maintain transparency in our democracy.

    What nonsense that Elizabeth May’s contributions will not be heard in all the debates. She deserves much better.

    Why not include Elizabeth May ? Are you afraid she will show up the others.

    Dear Rudyard Griffiths,

    President, Peter and Melanie Munk Charitable Foundation,


    As I’m sure you are aware, Green Party leader Elizabeth May is an effective and articulate representative of a distinctive perspective in Canadian politics that many support, and many more want to learn more about. It is therefore most puzzling that you have declined so far to invite her to your upcoming party leaders debate. Her deliberate exclusion demeans both the Munk Debates and the wider democratic discourse Canadians have come to expect you aim to serve.


    Please correct this situation and invite Elizabeth May to your 2015 party leaders’ debate.


    Thank you,


    Andrew Clement
