I’m not sure if this is a Charter issue, but it is it an issue of common democratic decency. True, the Green’s do not hold a seat in Parliament, but 1 out of every 10 people voted Green in the last election.
One other thing: the Green Party is running candidates in 308 ridings across the country, yet they are excluded by the consortium of five television executives, that somehow get to make the call. However, included in the debate is a party that can never form government as it runs in only one province. Grim forces at work.
Link to information and petition:
I fully agree that she ought to be included in the debate.
However, she can’t be running candidates in “over” 308 ridings because that’s how many there are. I think actually they will come short of having candidates in every riding.
Of course you’re right Sam, 308 it is. And you could also be right about the Greens coming short of 308 this election. Thanks, always, for your vigilance.
