Yes, a Federal election in Canada. No. The one female leader of a National party is not being permitted to speak.
Marco Dube is the consortium spokesman. And he has some angry viewers out here in the electorate.
All of us outside of one province cannot and will not vote in Quebec, and why is Giles Duceppe on national TV?

Every single person around the table, networks & parties, is a vested interest. It's like Ford & GM getting the networks to ban Toyota ads.
CBC is featuring a poll, and the numbers are climbing. When I went to the site at 7:45, 850 had voted. Now, it is just after 8 p.m., and we are up to 83% of 1500 people who voted in favour of having Ms. May on our national TV system. This decision sets back the women's movement 40 years.
How the Liberals change their tune: "It is only natural that in our defence of democracy, we believe in open, inclusive debates throughout the election," said Liberal spokesman Marc Roy. "This being said, it will be up to the consortium to decide on how to proceed."Last time around, they were the consortium was fighting on behalf of the Greens, because they had an alliance. I sure hope they will change their minds. This is just plain wrong.
Elizabeth May not invited to leaders debate
Dube said the five host broadcasters -- CBC, Radio-Canada, CTV, Global and TVA -- "unanimously decided they wanted to invite the four parties that have representation in the House."
Dube concurred with that assessment: "It's really the broadcasting consortium who organizes the leaders' debates. We feel this is our decision."

Well that is just the craziest thing ever. I LOVE Elizabeth May! I once gave her a drive from Toronto to Minden and it was the best two hours or so I ever spent. She's a wonderfully smart, talented woman and, if nothing else, she'd definitely be the most interesting speaker during the leaders' debate.
Harumph!!!!!
Aloha to you
