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).

    If we want a healthier, stronger Canada, we need to hear from Elizabeth May, She is working to get Canadians cooperating across party lines for the common good. We need that perspective in the debates as well.

    Obviously Harper is a control freak, and this is just one more instance of his obsession!

    This the height of a perverted democracy. The Westminster parliamentary model relys on two sides of the house. The side with the mandate to govern proposes legislation. The Sovereign’s loyal opposition proposes amendments. Through the dialectic of debate, new and better legislation is produced.


    Canadians must begin to think in terms not just of the governing side, but who forms the loyal opposition. Ms. May has proved herself a knowledgeable and adroit speaker in the House which is why some honourable members may not wish to debate her on the media hustings. That the independent media aquiesses to those demands i makes a mockery of democracy and the free press.

    Don`t we, as citizens, have the inherent right to hear all of the political party leaders? What`s the point of an debate if you can`t listen to all.?

    Shame on you Mr Harper. Why are you so afraid to be in a debate with Elizabeth May ?
