I wasn’t going to vote, but today’s news made me angry: Greens can’t participate in leaders’ debates, networks rule
In recent days, the Conservatives, Bloc Québécois and the NDP have all expressed their opposition to May joining the debates.
They are bluffing, also known as “lying”. It also makes me angry they could have such contempt for democracy.
Dion, for his part, said he would have welcomed the presence of May, but he would not participate if Harper were to boycott the debates.
“I will say that I would like her to be there,” Dion said.
Dion no doubt would also like to be Prime Minister, but “would like” is a weak, asinine response. How about: “Harper is afraid of another voice calling him out for his anti-environment policies that are accelerating global warming. It is pathetic and anti-democratic.”
Am I the only one hoping for another minority government?

[…] the spineless wonders. Gordo knows that the Conservatives and the NDP are the new Yellow Party. Daniel thinks Dion had a weak response to this too. Townie thinks Layton and Harper didn’t make it […]
Please if you’re going to have hopes for this election aim for the top : Harper not being elected, the conservatives totally out, or yet, the most wet one, the bloc winning the majority !!
I am so hoping for another minority too. When the only two realistic possibilities for a majority government are the conservatives and the liberals, a minority really looks like a good thing.
The Greens claimed back their spot into the debate: http://news.aol.ca/article/greens-allowed-back-into-debate/337952/
The strategy ironically (as well as fortunately) backfires, to the benefit of the Greens.
