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).

    In order to have a fair and democratic election, all candidates’ views must be equally heard in all debates.

    I want my voice heard, and this is why Elizabeth May NEEDS to take part in ALL the leaders’ debates. To exclude her is unnecessary and undemocratic! She is a valued and valuable member of our government and Canadians deserve to hear what she and the Green Party stand for!

    Adding Elizabeth will make the debate something that will help Canadians make an informed decision no matter who they vote for. Less spin and more content would be a great benefit to all.


    I wonder what the debate organizers are afraid of.

    Elizabeth May was voted Parliamentarian of the year by her fellow MPs. She is articulate and skillful in debate, well informed and respectful. Her input is of National importance. She adds a very important dimension to the debate.

    Elizabeth May is the leader of a national party and deserves to be in all the debates, just like Preston Manning was when the Reform Party started.
