Brian Dolan, from Renfrew:
In a democracy, all should have a voice! This man is the legitimate leader of a regestered and legitimate political party in Ontario, and should have a voice in any debate concerning the upcoming election. It's the honourable and democratic thing to do.
Ghaith El-Mohtar, from Pontiac:
Ontarians and Canadians everywhere else are becoming disengaged with politics for a reason; the same coin toss between the Conservatives and Liberals is a dead dichotomy that fails both at exciting voters and representing them; we need a fresh voice, and that voice is Mike Schreiner's.
Repeating last election's debate mistake will harm only Ontario's future.
raymond burns, from kitchener:
Greens have always had my vote let hope the numbers will continue to grow!
Bill HELM, from Ancaster:
The Green Party is already a movement to be reckoned with. I want to see how well it may succeed in a Debate setting.
Ramona Steacy, from Ajax:
Support open debate!
Peter Ormond, from Hamilton:
We need the Green voice now more than ever. The system must change, and the Green voice will turn the heads of all other parties and voters - that is when our policies are heard.
James Ogden, from Toronto:
An informed electorate is the highest goal of democracy. I fail to see how excluding Green Party representation at the Provincial election debate furthers this goal.
John Deverell, from Pickering:
We need an electoral system which guarantees equal representation for every voter. The current shamocracy is both democratically unacceptable and pragmatically dysfunctional, making society stupider than it needs to be.
Lynn Palmer, from Thunder Bay:
Please stop the discrimination and allow Mike to participate in the debate!
Rebecca Young, from Ottawa:
The Green Party has almost a million supporters province wide, and there's little doubt that it's popularity will only grow. Why deny them a seat at the table? Plus, the Green Party is the only party in the province that has the wisdom and the courage to say that Ontario's current policy of funding 2 parallel school systems (one Catholic, one public) is both profoundly discriminatory and profoundly wasteful. Quebec and NFLD both did away with their similarly archaic, discriminatory and wasteful school funding policies 10 years ago. It's time Ontario did the same. No more publicly funded discrimination!
