The Green Party Could Have Their Chance After All
Stephen Harper and Jack Layton have rescinded their statements that they'd withdraw from the debate if Elizabeth May is permitted to attend. It may have taken an impassioned letter to the Globe and Mail from former Prime Minister Joe Clark and a barrage of hate mail from their supporters to shame them into doing the Right thing, but regardless, my faith in our electoral system is slowly returning.

Elizabeth May's twitter status has been updated to say "I am celebrating my inclusion in the televised leaders' debates! Going out to dinner at my favourite restaurant in New Glasgow."

Now that the Greens are in, I may actually WATCH the debate this year. I never bothered before because I already knew well enough that the Liberals and the Conservatives didn't stand for what I believed in. But I'd like to get a better sense of where May and the Greens stand on issues besides the environment. Should be interesting.
