A matter of hours is all it took for the Green Party to be uninvited to both debates, a decision that has angered the party’s co-leaders. Kristy Cameron digs deeper with Duff Conacher, the co-founder of Democracy Watch.

The chaos began after a sudden flood left both homes uninhabitable, displacing families and triggering questions as to how the property even passed inspection. CTV’s Katelyn Wilson delivers that story in Hour 1.
