Green Party co-leader says removal from leaders’ debates is ‘undemocratic’

The Green Party of Canada has been excluded from participating in the federal leaders' debate for the upcoming 2025 election, as announced by the Leaders' Debates Commission. The commission's decision is based on the party not meeting the set criteria for inclusion in the debates. This marks a significant challenge for the Green Party, which has previously argued for broader political representation. The party's exclusion could impact its ability to reach a wider audience, potentially influencing its performance in the election. The decision highlights ongoing debates about criteria for participation in political events.
