@globeandmail: Trudeau no-show leads to cancellation of Munk debate on foreign policy Rudyard Griffiths said the debate has been cancelled because of Mr. Trudeau’s “refusal to debate.” Mr. Trudeau has faced criticism over his decision to take part in only three leaders’ debates ahead of the Oct. 21 election – down from five during the 2015 campaign.

In the past 24 hours, two media outlets have reported that Prime Minister @JustinTrudeau will only participate in the two election debates organized by the government’s Debates Commission, according to unnamed Liberal strategists. If true, this is unacceptable and should prompt every Canadian to ask what kind of democracy we want.
