Mike Schreiner issued the following statement today:

"Despite over 25,000 signatures and support from two of the three other leaders, the media consortium has refused to back down on its decision to hold an unfair debate tonight. But this

 doesn't mean the people of Ontario won't be able to hear from me, as I'll be infiltrating the debate through a live interactive event.

I am confident this will be the last unfair leaders debate because we are poised to send the first Green MPPs to the legislature. Next time around, media executives will have a much harder time justifying our exclusion."

Visit www.gpo.ca for a livestream link to our special event viewing in Guelph, where Schreiner will be with the people he's fighting to serve at Queen's Park, providing answers and commentary on the debate. The answers will be tweeted from @MikeSchreiner with the hashtag #MikeAtTheMic and #ONDebate.
