Let's change the rules again!

Canada's broadcasters will not allow the Green Leader Elizabeth May to participate in the leaders' debates during the federal election campaign, the networks announced Monday afternoon.

The consortium of networks, which includes the CBC, said three of Canada's parties were opposed to May's inclusion, but did not give more details.

In recent days, the Conservatives, Bloc Québécois and the NDP have all expressed their opposition to May joining the debates.

"It became clear that if the Green party were included, there would be no leaders' debate," the consortium said in a press release.

Reading between the lines: Harper won't take part in a debate that includes Elizabeth May. What's he so afraid of?

I have no special love for Elizabeth May, but I do resent the attempts by the big four to marginalize other parties.

Also: boo to the NDP. I. Am. Not. Impressed.
