 Green Party of Canada - the free encyclopedia   (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-09)
In the 2004 election, the Canadian BroadcastingCorporation and CTV Television Network refused toinvite the Green Party to their televised leaders debates.This sparked legal actions by the party, a petition by itssupporters to have it included, and strong statements bynon-supporters who believed it should be included on principle.
