The first round of invitations from the state-sanctioned Leaders’ Debates Commission has been sent out to the Conservatives, the Liberals, the NDP, the Greens, and the Bloc Quebecois – but not to the People’s Party. True North’s Andrew Lawton says the decision to not invite Maxime Bernier shows a reversal of a previous interpretation of the rules, and amounts to a “sham” process with moving goalposts.

True North is not backing a party, but in order to cover the election fairly and honestly, we need to hear from all of the parties shaping the national discussion.
