Summary
The Leaders’ Debates Commission has disinvited the Green Party from the federal leaders’ debates due to their failure to run candidates in at least 90% of federal ridings, as they have not named candidates in over 100 of the 343 ridings. Co-leader Jonathan Pedneault stated this was a strategic decision to avoid splitting the progressive vote where Conservatives are strong, but the Commission deemed this approach inconsistent with party viability. The Greens plan to issue a statement on the ruling before the first debate scheduled for Wednesday evening.
