I can’t believe we have to fight this battle all over again. It’s feudal – the lords of the manor don’t want women in.
… okay … let’s ramp it up and give ‘em hell. Nellie McClung (Elizabeth May) – – lead the charge!
| The Old Boys’ Club is at it again. Elizabeth May has been denied entry into the televised leaders’ debates.
Instead of speaking up to defend true democracy, other party leaders seem relieved—perhaps due to the glowing reviews Elizabeth received after her first appearance in the 2008 debates. What kind of democracy excludes a party with the support of one million of its citizens? What kind of democracy allows a handful of TV executives to decide that a party that only runs candidates in one province has more right to be in a national leaders’ debate than a party with candidates in every riding? In the last election, your voices won Elizabeth her rightful place in the debates. We can’t believe that we have to ask you to rally on her behalf yet again. But we do. Here’s what you can do:
With your help, Elizabeth will show Canadians why Greens belong in the House of Commons. And why there’s no debate that she belongs in the debates. Thank you for taking part in our fight for true democracy in Canada. |
