So if this chronology is accurate, basically the commission unilaterally decided to not have the green party there, then tried to blame it on a technicality? Not a good look.
It seems that there are facts that are in contention about whether or not the green party was fielding the necessary number of candidates. They said they did, and the commission said they didn’t. Hopefully there’ll be some third party verification going on here to get to the bottom of this.
Before I spend time digging into it, does anyone know who thd main sources of funding are, and the backgrounds of the decision makers, for the Leaders’ Debates Commission? (I don’t follow debates, so I’ve never paid much attention to that, but I am now working to map out funding and influence networks in our country)
The LDC is an independent commission established by the Government of Canada. The list of who is serving on the Secretariat and the Advisory Board can be found here https://www.debates-debats.ca/en/about/commission/
This is advertising, no more and no less than other ads that get removed.
I will downvote it every time.
Nice to find some common ground with you. Agreed.
If the Greens had a leg to stand on they wouldn’t be communicating in press releases from their own website.
