OTTAWA — Elizabeth May is running on a joint ticket to reclaim the leadership of the Green Party, sources say.


The former party leader is expected to launch a joint bid for the leadership Wednesday in Sidney, B.C., with her running mate, Jonathan Pedneault.


They are two of six candidates cleared by the party to run, according to two Green Party sources with direct knowledge of the situation who were granted anonymity because they were not authorized to speak publicly about it.

Sarah Gabrielle Baron, who ran as an Independent against former Conservative leader Erin O’Toole in Durham, Ont., in last year’s election, and Simon Gnocchini-Messier, a federal public servant who ran for the Greens in Hull-Aylmer, Que., will also run.

Anna Keenan and Chad Walcott are also expected to join the race on another joint ticket.

The winner, to be announced by November, will take over from interim leader Amita Kuttner, who stepped in after the resignation of Annamie Paul last year.

She should rally the troops in Parliament!

Oh, sorry. Make that "the troop."

The local tim hortons might be more appropriate for her. And they can all fit at one table!

We say "Denny's," having a lamentable shortage of Tim Hortons(es?), but yeah, pretty much.

 

[Taxslave2]

I wasn't aware the green party is so busy and populous it required a team to run it. Or is it because they don'[t have two braincells between them?

We say "Denny's," having a lamentable shortage of Tim Hortons(es?), but yeah, pretty much.

All our Denny's seem to have disappeared.

 

[Tecumsehsbones]

All our Denny's seem to have disappeared.

Lots of ours too. Now it's all "bakeries" and "bistros" with avocado everything.

But we got in a boulangerie with real Parisian croissants, so I'm OK.

But we got in a boulangerie

Sorry to hear that. Hope you feel better.

 

[Tecumsehsbones]

Sorry to hear that. Hope you feel better.

Nah, it's great. Real French breads and pastries, and no Quebecois to deal with.

 

[The_Foxer]

Nah, it's great. Real French breads and pastries, and no Quebecois to deal with.

That should seriously be on the sign above the door. That's marketing gold right there.

Our "French" are from France.

OK, a few are from Belgium.

Even the Cajuns (which, by the way, is just a mispronunciation of "Acadian") don't pretend to be French.

Creole

 

[IdRatherBeSkiing]

Our "French" are from France.

Another great slogan.

Green leadership candidates introduce themselves at launch

OTTAWA — The six candidates vying for leadership of the federal Greens pledged to bring new life to the party following a dark period of policy disputes and personality clashes that culminated in last year’s resignation of former leader Annamie Paul.

A virtual campaign launch Saturday saw the candidates promise to build the Greens through grassroots interactions with Canadians that focus on core values of strong environmental and social justice policies.


The Greens currently hold two seats in the House of Commons, Mike Morrice in Kitchener-Centre and former leader Elizabeth May in Saanich-Gulf Islands.



May, who is running in the leadership race on a joint ticket with crisis expert Jonathan Pedneault, says she wants to lead a party that pushes hard against the federal Liberals and New Democrats, who she says are now on “cruise control” with regards to environmental policies.

Sarah Gabrielle Baron, Simon Gnocchini-Messier and Anna Keenan and Chad Walcott are also candidates in the contest the party bills as the “amazing Canadian leadership race.”

The Greens will use a ranked ballot system to choose the new leader in two rounds of voting this October and November.

“We need to have more Greens in Parliament, and as one of two members of the Green caucus currently I know that that starts with having really strong leadership,” Morrice said.

The way jagmeet has sold out they might actually get some support.

 

[Tecumsehsbones]

When you have three times as many leadership candidates as you have seats in Ottawa, you're overthinking it.

 

[Taxslave2]

But it is a good paying job if you can get it.
