The Green Party of Canada held a leadership election between September 26 and October 3, 2020.[4] The election was held to replace Elizabeth May, who resigned on November 4, 2019,[5][6][7] after leading the party for more than a decade and achieving a record three seats in Parliament in the 2019 federal election. Eight candidates ran to replace her. While these candidates offered different visions for the future of the party and made various policy proposals, they all agreed that climate change is a serious issue, opposed the construction of new pipelines,[8] supported a guaranteed livable income,[9] and supported adopting some form of proportional representation in federal elections.[10]

No polling for the leadership race was released during the contest, and so frontrunner status was largely determined in the media on the basis of candidate fundraising. In that sense, the two frontrunners were Annamie Paul and Dimitri Lascaris.[11] Paul, an activist and lawyer from Toronto, won the election on the eighth round of voting. Her win was described as a win for "the more centrist camp".[12]

Election format

The vote was held online between September 26 and October 3, as well as by mail-in ballot. All party members as of 11:59 p.m. PDT on September 3, 2020, who were 14 years of age or older were eligible to vote. The vote was conducted through a one member, one vote preferential ballot with a none of the above option. The candidate with a majority of votes after a minimum of one ballot would win the leadership.[13]

The Greens originally planned to announce the election results at the party's biennial convention in Charlottetown, Prince Edward Island,[14] however the convention was cancelled due to the COVID-19 pandemic.[15] Instead, the candidates gathered in Ottawa, Ontario for the results, which were announced online at 9:00 p.m. ADT on October 3.[13]

Controversies

Endorsements

Former leader Elizabeth May was the subject of criticism over perceived implicit endorsements. Alex Tyrrell contended that May appeared with candidates at fundraisers to push them towards the lead. David Merner said it would be wiser for May to stay out of the contest completely.[243][244] May responded that she was remaining neutral, but would help candidates from equity-seeking groups in fundraising efforts.[243]

Racism

Candidate Meryam Haddad accused fellow candidate Dylan Perceval-Maxwell of racism for comments he made during a TVOntario debate. When asked about calls to defund the police, Perceval-Maxwell suggested having police officers "give $20 to every person of colour they stop". Haddad called the suggestion racist, and said it would not further the goal of ending systemic racism.[245][246] Perceval-Maxwell suggested that Haddad was "angry that a white person came up with an idea."[247] On July 8, the party announced that Perceval-Maxwell was no longer a candidate for the leadership, citing statements "not aligned with the party's values."[61]
