Bloc Québécois Leader Yves-François Blanchet says the regulations governing election debates should exclude the Green Party from participating in the upcoming leaders’ debate. He argues the party’s presence benefits the leader of the incumbent governing party.
Blanchet took to social media over the weekend to question the participation of Green Party co-leader Jonathan Pedneault. Aside from Blanchet and Pedneault, Liberal Leader Mark Carney, Conservative Leader Pierre Poilievre, and NDP Leader Jagmeet Singh will take part in both debates.
