Green Party Announces Plans to Field Full Slate of Candidates in Upcoming Federal Election
The Green Party’s leaders have announced their intention to field a full slate of candidates in the upcoming election, which may be called as early as Mar. 10.
According to Party co-leader Elizabeth May, they are currently in the process of vetting potential candidates and plan to have representation in every federal riding.
In a surprising development, Liberal leadership candidate Mark Carney has not dismissed the idea of triggering a snap election if he assumes office as prime minister on Mar. 9.
May revealed that the party is gearing up for a spring election by introducing a fresh logo—a green circle.
Co-leader Jonathan Pedneault hinted at forthcoming policy proposals and characterized the new logo as the initial phase of unveiling a revamped platform.
Expressing her preference for the resumption of parliamentary duties post the Liberal leadership contest, May advocated against resorting to a sudden election.
