Here are three reasons why you should really tune in, even if you don’t speak the language.

Debate will be the 1st to feature all 5 party leaders.

The federal Greens have filed a complaint with the Canada Revenue Agency in a last-minute bid to use the law to get their leader into an election debate this month.

The Green Party is citing an alleged breach of Canada's charity law in a novel, last-ditch bid to insert leader Elizabeth May into a national election debate later this month.

Canadian Green Party leader Elizabeth May, who has been excluded from Thursday's campaign debate on the economy, declared on Tuesday that she would unofficially take part via Twitter.

The federal Liberals are threatening to pull out of a leaders debate on foreign policy later this month over concerns that it won’t be bilingual as promised.

When they meet before the cameras in August, the three party leaders will be facing off in a national debate organized for the first time by someone other than the Election Broadcasting Consortium.

Elizabeth May hopes the prime minister will change his mind about boycotting the national televised leaders’ debates ahead of the federal election this fall.

The unofficial kickoff begins Friday, as Prime Minister Stephen Harper, NDP leader Tom Mulcair and Liberal leader Justin Trudeau don cowboy hats to attend the Calgary Stampede and press the flesh with voters.

Stephen Harper sure is hard to read, but in the game of high-stakes poker over the election debates, he seems to have misread the other players.

Canada’s New Democrats believe Canadian universities are “not really neutral” enough venues in which to hold the leaders’ debates.

Peter Mansbridge, CBC's host of the panel, was joined by regulars Andrew Coyne, Chantal Hébert and Bruce Anderson for a discussion on how many leaders' debates should there be, what format should they take and who should be allowed to participate.
