Firstly, I never understand why the BQ leader is always in the English debates. The BQ leader is only for Quebec and the vast majority of PQ voters who are anglophone don't vote BQ. Period. Leave the PQ-only party leaders totally out of the English debates.
As for the Green leader in the English debate that's a tricky one. Look at what has recently happened in Britain with the exclusion of the Green leader from the debates. A huge brouhaha:
Green membership surge takes party past Lib Dems and UkipParty signs up 2,000 in a day amid blaze of publicity over exclusion from general election leaders’ debates
The Green party now has more members than Ukip and the Liberal Democrats after gaining more than 2,000 supporters in the last day alone.
The surge in support coincides with a blaze of publicity for the Greens over their exclusion from the proposed televised leaders’ debates because they are not considered a major party. The criteria for being classed as major does not include membership but is based on a party’s standing in opinion polls and success in elections.

The Green Party continues to surge in popularity, as shown by three pollsIt's bad news for Labour, as three separate pollsters show a split in left-wing voting intentions.
Time for the Greens to whack the celebratory curly kale on the hob, as they storm ahead in three separate polls.
- An ICM poll for the Guardian yesterday found Natalie Bennett's party to be on 9 per cent, the highest in two decades from that particular pollster.
- Confirming the "Green Surge" by lifting the party into double figures, Lord Ashcroft's latest polling earlier this week put the Greens on 11 per cent.
- A YouGov poll for the Sun out this morning gives them its highest rating ever from that pollster, 10 per cent.

Because democracy. Maybe Quebecerss that speak English in Quebec get tired of always being called corrupt(while they actually arrest the criminals that other provinces deny they even have) and prefer a more egalitarian society given how much 'the west' has dominated with a conservative Agenda. I would ask Ontario to leave Canada if Alberta reformers continue to dominate politics. It galls me when I read on the CBC about how narrowminded quebecers and the east are for electing non cons while they have elected nothing but for 50 years.
