Philpott says she is considering running as a New Democrat, a Green, or an independent GlobePolitics
Jane Philpott is assessing her political options after being told she is not wanted as a Liberal and says she could run as a candidate for the New Democrats or the Greens, or even as an independent, in the election next fall.
“What I’ve said up to now is that I have not closed any doors. I have a range of options, obviously. I could leave politics altogether and go back to doing medicine, or something,” she said. “I could also run as an independent.” Four weeks later, Mr. Trudeau announced that both Ms. Philpott and Ms. Wilson-Raybould were being removed from caucus and as candidates for the Liberal Party in the federal election, saying their criticism of his role in the SNC-Lavalin affair had broken bonds of trust and helped the government’s political opponents.
But Green Party Leader Elizabeth May said she would be delighted to have either or both Ms. Philpott and Ms. Wilson-Raybould running under a Green banner.
