Green leadership contender Elizabeth May says she never threatened to quit party
Elizabeth May says she never threatened to quit the Green Party, and an email suggesting as much was a “mischaracterization” by a well-meaning staffer.
The email was sent to top officials last Friday, saying either move would cause “irreversible damage” to the party.“I never threatened to quit the Green Party of Canada. Never,” she said. “Never in the wind would I threaten to leave the party, ever, and I think the staffer in question has clarified that wasn’t what she was saying, either,” she said.Anna Keenan and Chad Walcott, who are jointly running for the leadership, said they are pleased with the federal council’s decision to continue the race.
This latest public controversy comes after Morrice and four of the six leadership candidates issued a joint statement condemning the misgendering of interim leader Amita Kuttner — who is transgender and nonbinary — during a party Zoom event.
