dewlineMr. Harper speaks to the question of allowing Green Party participation in the televised leaders' debates to come.
Respectfully, Mr. Prime Minister, you're wrong on this one. The Liberals and Greens are not married politically to each other. They may be engaging in an alliance of sorts here to ensure that both parties have a voice in the next Parliament, but they're not branches of each other. Nor do they plan to become such over the long haul.
It would not, therefore, be "fundamentally unfair" to grant Elizabeth May a podium at the debates.
Let's hear her out.
Soon, please.
