Leading up to the last election (one of the previous three we've had in the past 7 years...), the media consortium tried to shunt Elizabeth May and the Greens out of the Leaders' Debates. The public response was overwhelming and the media goons had to back down. Well, they're trying it again.
The Greens are a national party, running candidates in all ridings, unlike the Bloc. The Greens have intelligent comments about important issues, unlike the tired, old arguments we always get from the "other" parties. And, finally, if we had a decent system of proportional representation in Canada, the Greens would be a sizable party in the House of Commons.
This has got to stop. Demand that Elizabeth May be allowed to participate in the Leaders' Debates. E-mail the CBC and the CTV. Sign the on-line petition at DemandDemocraticDebates.ca and let Canadians hear what she has to say.
