OTTAWA — After a disappointing federal election result last year, a series of public scandals over internal conflicts and continued a downward trend in fundraising, the federal Green Party is getting ready to install a new leader — or leaders.

During a leadership debate this week that attracted fewer than 500 of the party's roughly 22,000 members, May pointed to her experience and argued she left things in excellent shape when she resigned. Annamie Paul, who became the first Black woman to lead a federal party in Canada in 2020, resigned as Green leader not long after the election. On her way out, she pointed fingers at actors within the party whom she said were racist and misogynist.

It will be an uphill battle to steal the spotlight. The other co-leadership pair, non-profit organizers Anna Keenan and Chad Walcott, argue their fresh faces are just what the party needs in a"make-or-break moment." 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.
