If Elections Canada has no legal reason to restrict a party from running for office, and that party reaches the criteria for being in the debates, then that party leader should be in the debates.

My or your or Singh's opinion on that party/leader is completely irrelevant to whether or not that leader should be in the debates.  If the leader **** 15 babies or wants to destroy Canada via Quebec separation but is eligible to run for office, the debate commission should not have the subjective power to restrict them from debating because they think they're evil.  They're either in all the way, or out all the way, and everything should be based on objective rules, not subjective feelings.

Bernier can certainly be offensive, arguably even racist, he's certainly nativist and culturally nationalist.  If Singh has a problem with Bernier, take it up with Elections Canada.

He only made the criteria because the criteria are vague and subjective.   He didn't make the same criteria earlier.
