Another Blow Against Democracy
You probably heard the upsetting news that the Federal Court of Appeal today refused to let the Green Party’s case be argued before the first Leaders’ Debate on April 12th.
We want to reassure you that we have not given up--and neither should you.
Here’s what you can do:
1. Come out to a rally! Nothing demonstrates passion and commitment like taking to the streets. Rallies have already been organized in Toronto, Montreal, Halifax, Hamilton, and Vancouver.
2. Visit http://demanddemocraticdebates.ca to sign our petition, donate, and more!
3. Vote in CBC’s poll on whether Elizabeth should be invited to the leaders’ debates
4. Email the consortium members CBC, CTV, Global, TVA and Radio Canada.
- CTV: programming@ctv.ca
- CBC: ombudsman@cbc.ca
- Global TV: viewercontact.globalnational@globaltv.com
- TVA: info@tva.ca
- Radio Canada: ombudsman@radio-canada.ca
5. Email the party leaders: Stephen Harper, Jack Layton, Michael Ignatieff and Gilles Duceppe. Tell them to press the networks to include Elizabeth May.
6. Visit the Facebook pages of the party leaders, and write on their walls that you want them to demand Elizabeth May be in the debates.
7. Tweet your outrage! Use the hashtag #EMayIn.
8. Post about this on Facebook.
9. Tell your friends and family!
