John,
The Leaders’ Debates Commission announced
today that they are not inviting me to participate in the English and
French debates.
I was disappointed, but not
surprised.
The criteria to be included was that PPC support in
polls must average 4% over the past two weeks.
Several polls
unveiled in recent days give the People's Party 4, 5, and even 6% in
the voting intentions.
Like me, I am sure that you’re
feeling the surge in support for the PPC across the country!
But the Commission had to include other polls that give us
barely 1 or 2%. I think these polls have a flawed methodology and do
not reflect reality at all.
I do not blame the Commission,
whose criteria were clear and objective.
Rather, I
blame the political establishment cartel, which refuses to debate the
crucial issues we raise and has done everything to marginalize us
since the founding of the PPC.
I blame some national
media, which two years ago worked with Warren Kinsella, the
professional mud thrower who was paid by the Conservative Party, to
portray us as racist and intolerant when that is a complete lie.
Also those media that today don't even include us in
their daily coverage of the campaign, while they cover the Greens,
whose support in the polls is at the same level as ours.
The reality is, the more Canadians hear about us, the more
they realize that we are the only party that offers a different view
than everyone else. Support for the People's Party continues to grow
for this reason.
My exclusion from the debates will not stop
this wave. It is simply a confirmation of the existence of the
establishment cartel.
John, can you contribute $5 today to help us boost our
advertisement campaign?
Debate or no debate, we
must make sure that Canadians keep hearing from us!
Thanks a
lot,
-Max
