Voting for Green leadership begins Saturday as candidates look to revitalize party
There are six names on the ranked ballot, but four of the candidates intend to implement a co-leadership model that would see them sharing the role with another of the contenders if they are elected.Elizabeth May, the longtime member of Parliament from B.C. who led the party from 2006 to 2019, is looking for a comeback with running mate Jonathan Pedneault, a human rights researcher from Montreal.
She sounded an optimistic note about the current slate of candidates. “Unlike leadership race, I have to say this one is fantastic, and we are forming a team. I think that we all feel the same sense of solidarity that we want to see all of us elected to Parliament.”But though candidates say Greens are more trustworthy than other parties on the environment, they are facing a political spectrum where most politicians have recognized the importance of climate change policy to voters.
He said during the debate that Greens are on the same page about wanting to move on and focus on policies to address the climate emergency.But the other, longtime party activist Sarah Gabrielle Baron, conceded that the leadership race itself was marked by controversy.
