Well, it was announced tonight that despite the fact the Green Party launched a nationwide campaign, got one Member in Parliament, and had the endorsement of the Liberal leader, it looks like Elizabeth May will not be participating in the nationally televised debates in Ottawa on October 1st and 2nd.
According to the Canadian Press, Stephen Harper and Jack Layton both refused to participate if May was going to be a part of the debate. Apparently they felt that having May there was akin to having two Liberal representatives on stage because of Stephane Dion's deal to not run a Liberal in May's Nova Scotia riding. May has also gone on record to say, including to this reporter, that she thinks Dion would make the best Prime Minister.
