Meryam Haddad, a Green party leadership candidate from Montreal, said in a tweet that she had racist and sexist comments directed at her during the town hall.
“I was directly named in the hate speech in two different comments,” she said. “However, Annamie Paul decided that these must have been actually directed at her because she identifies as Jewish.”“I have not spoken to Meryam, but I did not seek to invalidate her pain in any way,” said Paul. “I noted in my one and only tweet that another person had been targeted by a hateful comment.

Green party Interim Leader Jo-Ann Roberts said in a tweet that she condemns the hateful language directed at Paul and Haddad.
