I don't think anyone is saying that. Trudeau and May haven't ruled out any debates that I know of and Duceppe will surely be in for any French debates. Harper has said he won't attend the consortium debates but hasn't ruled anything else out that I know of. Mulcair is kind of up in the air at this point.
I think the most interesting angle of the debates is that Harper intends to done only one in French, and Mulcair almost has to do more than that, right? Also Harper is skipping the debate on women (I think), and again you have to think Mulcair wants to be there. I see why Mulcair wants to take this position of only showing up when Harper does, but there are a couple of spots where this is interesting and maybe somewhat ill-advised.
