TV Execs shut out green party

There are 4 debates this time (2 English- 2 French) and no green party. Most interesting is there will be 2 debates in Vancouver before Christmas, the Bloc is invited but the greens aren't. What is most disturbing is the fact that all of the decisions are made by the TV executives of Canada's major networks with no public or political input. Then all of the reporters debate why the greens aren't invited and don't go to the source- their bosses.

Speaking of the Bloc, Gilles Ducceppe suggested Quebec have its own team for the Olympics for Soccer and Hockey. Hockey would make the tournament more interesting force Quebec players to decide between Canada and Quebec. I can't picture Lemieux and Brodeur choosing to represent Quebec instead of Canada. As far as football (soccer) goes a united Canada can't qualify for the World Cup already.

This is actually wrong. Debate rules are jointly decided by the parties and tv execs. (If parties didn't have input, why would they participate?)

The major parties also are to blame for this.
