Can someone explain what happened with the green party allegedly pulling candidates in strong Conservative ridings? There was an article this morning stating that as the reason for their exclusion from the debate, as they no longer met the criteria for inclusion.

This article doesn't seem to mention or rebut it at all.

This isn't an 'article'. It's a press release from the Green Party, so ofc they're not going to put ALL the info in like they should.

Yeah, I was aware of that, but the proper term eluded me in the moment. Thanks.

I guess if they actually had a leg to stand on, they probably would've included it.

I would guess they were trying to focus resources where they were more likely to be impactful.

That's fine, but then they shouldn't try and misrepresent that they're actually fielding those candidates just to meet the qualifications to be part of the debate.
