Sigh. Elizabeth May has been excluded from the Leaders' Debates on October 1 and 2. Once again the Greens are being excluded from participating. Regardless of where our votes lie, this exclusion is completely un-democratic.
Apparently, the big boys threatened to boycott the debate if she was included. How juvenile of them. Quite reminiscent of a five year-old refusing to play nicely in the sandbox, walking away stomping his feet. And how galling but unsurprising really, coming from (among others) a man who broke his own fixed election date law.
Good for you Elizabeth for hiring a lawyer and challenging the consortium of TV networks in the courts. Let's pray your case lands in front of a judge gifted with some common sense and a feel for true democracy. And while we're at it, I'd love to see good old Stephen be made accountable for breaking his own law. His last move as Canada's Prime Minister. Speaks volume doesn't it?
