HALIFAX - Elizabeth May says she'll fight to be included in the federal election debate until the moment she's standing outside watching her rivals making their points on television.
The leader of the Green Party told a rally of about 100 people in Halifax today that without her voice in Tuesday's debate Canadians aren't likely to hear questions about global warming or the widening gap between the rich and the poor.
May told the crowd that she feels it's hard to fight an election campaign when she's forced to criticize major media outlets for the decision.
The Federal Court of Appeal has refused to hear May's court challenge before the first debate and the consortium of television networks has stood firm in its decision to exclude her from the event.
The party failed to secure a seat in the 2008 federal election, but drew nearly 1 million votes.
