The party isn’t running nominees in over 100 ridings, and Green Party Co-Leader Jonathan Pedneault told Radio-Canada last week that some of this was deliberate. He said his party made a “strategic decision” not to run candidates in ridings where they think Conservatives would likely win

Pedneault told CBC News that some candidates and volunteers “faced intimidation” from constituents, which contributed to the party’s candidate shortage.

    This is sad to hear. I hope they are OK.

    Another reason why FPTP needs to end.

    THIS FUCKER HAD ME QUESTIONING MY THOUGHTS ON GREEN PARTY LEADERSHIP, AND THEN HE PULLS THIS???

    “Strategic” my ass, you give it fight, and you try anyway. What an unbelievable show of weakness that they don’t believe their platform is strong enough to win over voters.
