They kept out @MaximeBernier because he actually disagreed with the Official Narrative. And you can’t have that in a debate. That’s why they fought so hard to keep our reporters out, too — all it takes is one dissenter, and the simulated unanimity is shattered. - Kotaku In Action 2

They cherry picked polls which had him doing poorly.

He was polling around 5% at the start of the election, they chose about half of the polls in the first 5 days as the official polls for deciding who gets in to debate. Conveniently for them, they just so happened to pick the ones with the PPC scoring lower, so the PPC got 3% in the "Official" polling.

Even more conveniently the just so happened to pick 4%, for no reason at all, as the cut off for participating in the debates.

It's so disingenuous to claim "he didn't have the numbers" when you or people on your payroll were in charge of calculating "the numbers" at every stage
