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).

    As leader of the Green Party, Elizabeth should be allowed to take part in the debates. Mr. Harper is must be afraid of her.

    Mr. Harper and Mr. Mulcair, what are you so afraid of? Could it be that Ms May will outshine you?

    Elizabeth May is an articulate politician who makes us feel proud to be Canadian, makes us remember who we are. We need her intelligence, integrity, and savvy in every debate. It’s disgraceful that other leaders are not supporting her inclusion.

    THIS IS ALMOST TOO ABSURD TO BELIEVE THAT A LEADER OF A PARTY IS EXCLUDED FROM THE DEBATE. WHERE IS DEMOCRACY????

    Corporate politics at work. Limiting participation to an exclusive group based on elected seats, by arguing time constraints, muffles the voice of a growing constituency who can see through the current fog surrounding the Canadian economy. If any leader can shine a light on what is really happening as opposed to what the current government tells us is happening, it’s Elizabeth May. The most effective speaker in Parliament should be included.

    We need Elizabeth May more than we need Harper. She provides a necessary balance of logical thought while the other candidates are trying to scratch each other’s eyes out!

    Because Elizabeth will talking about the facts she will make it harder for the others to only spout the party line. You bet they are afraid of her!

    I am asking all political parties to be fair! We deserve a fair democracy in Canada… that’s democracy. Strategy is an element, not a principle of democracy.

    It’s about time Harper realized Canadians have democratic rights…..and that includes those seeking public office to be heard in ALL debates!
