Tonight at 8:00PM EST on CBC Newsworld, home of Canada’s best TV show, Counterspin, be sure and tune into the Alternative Election Debate.

Five of Canada’s ‘other’ parties will be debating the issues (I get the feeling the “issues” might be somewhat different than the “issues” we are used to hearing about at election time).

The debate will include representation from for following parties:

• Communist Party of Canada
• Marxist-Leninist Party of Canada
• Canadian Action Party
• Green Party of Canada
• Christian Heritage Party of Canada
• The Marijuana Party of Canada (!!)
• The Natural Law Party of Canada

The debate will be broadcast live on the web at 8:00 PM EST at both the CBC Election 2000 site and at The DemocracyChannel.net.
