We're thrilled to announce Canada’s first-ever animal protection election debate! When: Sunday, September 12 from 7:00 - 8:30 PM ET Where: The debate will be broadcasted via www.animalelectiondebate.ca Featuring federal election candidates: Elizabeth May, Green Party candidate Nathaniel Erskine-Smith, Liberal Party candidate Alistair MacGregor, NDP candidate Moderated by: Holly Lake, freelance journalist Register Now Brought to you by Animal Justice, Montreal SPCA, Nation Rising, Vancouver Humane Society, and World Animal Protection, the animal protection election debate will feature federal election candidates to discuss some of the most pressing animal issues, and what their parties will do to improve animal protection laws and policies. All parties with seats in the House of Commons were invited to attend.   Canada’s animal protection laws are known to be some of the worst in the Western world, but the tides are beginning to turn. Parliament passed several groundbreaking new laws to help animals in 2019. And with the federal election approaching quickly on September 20, some parties are now including animal protection sections in their platforms for the first time in history.    Please join us for this exciting debate, and help us keep animal protection on the political agenda! The debate will include live French translation for francophone viewers, and attendees will have a chance to submit their questions to the candidates. Attend the National Animal Protection Election Debate We hope to see you there! A recording of the event will be posted later for those unable to attend in person.
