Judge it!
I just spoke with the President of CTV. He called to let our leader, Elizabeth May, know that the heads of Canada's broadcast consortium met today with representatives of the four parties currently invited to participate in the next nationally televised leaders' debates: the Conservatives, Liberals, NDP and Bloc Quebecois.
"No decision has been reached", he told me, in regards to the inclusion of Elizabeth in the debates.
You can really help, right now, by signing the Demand Democratic Debates petition. By signing today, a message will automatically go to the members of the television network consortium who ultimately determine who will be included in a televised leaders' debate.
Sign today and then forward this e-mail to at least 3 other people you know who support the Greens or who simply feel that, in this country, all party leaders have a right to voice their party's platform and be heard by the people who make the voting decisions.
It will only take a moment of your time and it will provide a meaningful push for free and democratic debate in Canada!
77% of Canadians say they want Elizabeth in the debates. Our Green Party polled ahead of the NDP last November as Canada's third most popular party. We have tied the NDP again this month and have polled consistently ahead of the Bloc.
This is a matter of fairness and democracy. Please help - with an email to the heads of the TV consortium now.
Thanks so much,
Deputy Leader Adriane Carr

Please Demand Democratic Debates to Happen again in Canada at ALL levels of Government
The heads of Canada's broadcast consortium met this week with representatives only 4 of the 5 parties currently invited to participate in the next nationally televised leaders' debates :
the Conservatives,
Liberals,
NDP
& the province of Quebec's Bloc Quebecois.
The Scary part is that this is also an OnGoing problem with Provincial Governments & even some Municipal Governments via CRTC regulated Cable companies as well.
Please add your name to our petition which will be sent to :
Hubert T. Lacroix, President and CEO, CBC/Radio Canada
Ivan Fecan, CEO, CTV Inc.
Leonard Asper, President and CEO, CanWest Global Communications
Pierre Dion, President, Groupe TVA Inc.
Ronald Cohen, National Chair, Canadian Broadcast Standards Council
