Elizabeth May is not letting the lack of an invitation keep her out of Thursday's election debate on the economy, by issuing her own responses to questions through Twitter
*sigh* I just can't get excited over May and her party. I just can't I am not opposed to some of her idea's but she acts and sounds like the annoying uninvited kid that tries to sit in with a group who no one clearly wants.
Maybe she'd have better luck if she challenged some local beavers to a bark-chewing contest instead. The winner gets to get drunk and make a bizarre anti-Harper speech afterwards.
But the idea is to engage Canadians following the debate on Twitter, including many who will have their TV remote in one hand and their smartphone or tablet in the other.
Which will make up and itsy bitsy, teeny tiny percentage of the small percentage of the population watching the debate. Let's face it, if you have your smartphone/tablet in hand you've stopped paying attention to the debate.
Use a medium that's almost exclusively directed to a group that never votes to get your message out, debate people who aren't there and then hope that someone takes you seriously.
Jeff Clark did the same thing in the debate in the recent provincial election...it's a way for smaller parties to try and remain relevant. In Clark's case, it likely helped him win his seat.
