That sounds about as informative as Hamilton's last round of Ward 2 debates – 19 speakers means whatever audience can be arsed to listen will probably leave with an earful of beige noise. Even the national leaders' debates with five participants (1993, 2008) already seem watered down. The goal is presumably to foster focused and fulsome debate that delineates the choices available to voters, not simply the oracular equivalent of a WWF cage match.

As well, if memory serves, the Greens declined on the grounds that this is a discussion in which the Tories, Grits, NDP and Bloc were not participating... a fringe ghetto, essentially. That is a label the Greens have been studiously trying to avoid.
