Ontario Debate Rules Challenged in Court | CBC RADIO CANADA, March 11, 2022

Organizers of electoral debates should accommodate candidates from smaller political parties, according to the legal remedy.

A small political party challenges in court an Elections Ontario directive on the participation of fringe parties in non-televised debates.

The None of the Above party is protesting Elections Ontario’s order of May 9, 2018, in which the agency explains that it has no authority over the organization of electoral debates in the province and that it has no control over the selection criteria of the organizers as to the candidates invited to these debates.

The political party, which says it defends direct democracy, had sent a letter to Elections Ontario asking it to better explain to the organizers of debates their obligation to accommodate marginal parties before the general election of June 2018.

The complainant, Greg Vezina, argues that Elections Ontario has a duty to remind debate organizers to invite candidates from smaller parties like his.
