It is absolutely appalling that Ms. May has been excluded from the debate. The Green Party is a national party, has candidates in nearly all ridings and is well placed to represent the views of a diversity of Canadians as equally as any of the other official parties. Is the present government afraid to allow other voices to be heard throughout this campaign?

One of the cornerstones of democracy is choice, the right to choose which representative to vote for. The electorate has the right to be informed as to all the choices available to them. By barring Elizabeth May from the televised leaders’ debate, the broadcast consortium is infringing on that right to be fairly informed.

If Canada is truly a democracy, then Elizabeth May must be included in any Leaders' Debate. Enough of debating whether she should or should not be included. Make sure Ms. May is part of the debates.

I live in a democracy. I have the right to hear the leader of the Green Party of Canada debate the leaders of other parties. Let Elizabeth May debate!

Deplorable.

People vote for the Green party...why shouldn't she be able to speak? Are you scared of her or something? Sexism!

With the number of votes the green Party earned across the country last election she should be there!

I want all party leaders to be allowed to attend the leaders' debates.

What a disgusting affront to democracy and the supporters of the Green Party. I am growing so tired of the blatant and systematic exclusion of the Green party from debate and the complete lack of any alternative. None of the parties have the environment in their top 5 platform issues for the upcoming election other than the green party. How sad!

I'm one of the million of Canadian voters who want to hear Elizabeth May speak. LET HER IN!
