Greens Can't Participate in Leaders' Debates

It's possible that the network's decision to not allow the Green Party's Elizabeth May to participate in the Leader's Debates could be the best thing that has happened to the Green Party since... well... the carbon tax.

Seriously, look at the comments that follow the CBC article.

"So the broadcasters were stupid enough to believe that other parties would actually boycott the debates because the Green Party leader was in it? You must be terrible poker players, don't recognise an obvious bluff when you see it!

Guess who I'm voting for now!"

This will be better for the Green Party's popularity than former party leader Adrienne Carr's participation in the leader's debate. If no one had heard Carr speak, no one would have known what a twit she was.

May is effectively becoming a martyr through the decision to leave her out of the debate, in what a lot of people seem to b calling the death of Canadian democracy. I don't know if I would go so far as to call it that. The armchair voters in this country are really just being made a little more aware of the censorship that they face in making intelligent decisions.

It wouldn't be easy for me to sleep at night I worked for one of those networks.
