Second poll showing the PPC over 4%. Seems like it's a given that Bernier will be attending the Leaders' debates.
338's aggregate still has them at 2.5%. How do they go about choosing which number to use?

Bernier can't meet the other two requirements, but he doesn't have to. Only one of them has to be met.
What I mean is, which public opinion polls? Is breaking 4% in just one poll enough? Or does he have to exceed 4% in every poll? Or is it an average?
I don't know which pollsters they are going to use. You can find all the recent requirements and rules that changed here (and the explanation why they changed them):

This is what they say about the 4% requirement:
So, probably the ones cited by 338, CBC poll tracker etc.
I can't figure out if that clause is meant to get Max in or keep him out. My guess would be to get Max in, since that hurts the CPC.
Edit: I hope he gets locked out, if for no other reason than I can get some more mileage out of this meme (at the time of original posting he was not invited to the debates).
We already talked about it. The old rules stated that parties had to meet two requirements out of the three. It was impossible for the PPC and Bernier to achieve that.
Fucking scoundrels. Rigging the debate rules for the Liberals.
Honestly I can't comprehend how guys on here with as much knowledge will vote anything hut PPC
