TheGreen Party of Canada (French:Parti vert du Canada) is afederal political party in Canada, founded in 1983 with a focus ongreen politics.

The Green Party is currently the fifth largest party in theHouse of Commons by seat count. It elected its firstmember of Parliament (MP), leaderElizabeth May, in the2011 election, winning in theSaanich—Gulf Islands. In the2019 election, the party expanded its caucus to three. In the2021 election, the party fell to two seats. In the2025 election, the party fell to one seat.

Elizabeth May served as the party leader from 2006 to 2019, and again since November 19, 2022.[4] On February 4, 2025, the party ratified a motion to adopt a co-leadership model, with May andJonathan Pedneault serving together as the first co-leaders of the party.

The Green Party is founded on six principles:ecological wisdom,non-violence,social justice,sustainability,participatory democracy, and respect for diversity.[5]

History

[edit]
Main article:History of the Green Party of Canada

About two months before the 1980 federal election, eleven candidates, mostly from ridings in the Atlantic provinces, issued a joint press release declaring that they were running on a common platform. It called for a transition to a non-nuclear, conserver society. Although they ran as independents, they unofficially used the name "Small Party" as part of their declaration of unity, a reference to the "small is beautiful" philosophy ofE. F. Schumacher. This was the most substantial early attempt to answer the call for an ecologically oriented Canadian political party. A key organizer (and one of the candidates) wasElizabeth May, who later became leader of the Greens in 2006.

The Green Party of Canada was founded at a conference held atCarleton University in Ottawa on November 4, 1983. Under its first leader,Trevor Hancock, the party ran 60 candidates in the1984 Canadian federal election.[6][7]

The Quebec wing hosted the 1990 Canadian Greens conference in Montreal. Soon after, Canada's constitutional problems interfered; as a result, many Quebec candidates abandoned the Greens in favour of a Quebec sovereigntist party, theBloc Québécois. There were only six Green candidates from Quebec in the 1993 election. In the spring of 1996, although the hopes of electing a representative to the BC legislature proved premature, Andy Shadrack in the interior of the province received over 11% of the vote. Overall, the party's proportion of the popular vote surged to a new high. Shadrack was also the most popular Green candidate in the 1997 federal election, scoring over 6% of the popular vote inWest Kootenay—Okanagan.

Joan Russow years

[edit]

British Columbia'sJoan Russow became leader of the Green Party of Canada on April 13, 1997.[8][9] Russow won 52% of the ballots cast in the 1997 leadership race, surpassing Ontario'sJim Harris (39%) and Rachelle Small (8%). Immediately upon attaining the leadership, Russow was plunged into a federal general election.[9] Russow's campaign in 1997 set a number of important precedents. The1997 federal election was the first campaign in which the Greens conducted a national leader's tour, presented a national platform and a bilingual campaign. Previous campaigns, due in part to the party's few resources and, in part, to the party's constitutional straitjacket, had been characterized by policy and spokespeople operating, at best, province-by-province and, at worst, riding-by-riding. In her own riding ofVictoria, Russow received just shy of 3000 votes and 6% of the popular vote.[10]

In 1998, the party adopted a rule that forbids membership in any other federal political party. This was intended to prevent the party from being taken over. A small number of Greens who advocate the more cooperative approach to legislation objected to the rule not to hold cross-memberships, a tool they occasionally employed.

Since its inception, the party has been developing as an organization, expanding its membership and improving its showing at the polls. In the2000 federal election, the party fielded 111 candidates,[11] up from 78 in 1997.[12]

Candidates were not run inNewfoundland and Labrador, as a result of ongoing divisions over Joan Russow's refusal to endorse the Green candidate in an earlier St. John's West by-election. (The candidate in question supported the seal hunt and mining development, as most locals did.)[13] This caused much uncertainty and friction between Newfoundland's Terra Nova Green Party[13] Association and the Green Party leader as the party gradually adapted to the realities of functioning as a true national party rather than a disorganized federation of local activists.

The conflicts left Russow isolated and alienated from most members of the party. Volunteer efforts were substantially absorbed in provincial campaigns between 2001 and 2003, and the federal party became dormant between elections, as was typical in the past.Chris Bradshaw served the party as interim leader from 2001 to February 2003. During his term, the party ended its sharing of office and staff with the Ontario party, establishing its own office in the national capital of Ottawa.

Russow left the party in 2001 and later criticized the Green Party for not following their policies. She re-joined the party in 2020 to supportDimitri Lascaris' campaign for theGreen Party leadership.[14]

Breakthrough under Jim Harris

[edit]
Jim Harris, leader of the party from 2003 to 2006

In February 2003,Jim Harris, in his second bid for the leadership, defeated John Grogan ofValemount, British Columbia, and Jason Crummey. Crummey was originally from Newfoundland and involved with Newfoundland and Labrador Terra Nova Greens.

During the2004 federal election, the Green Party of Canada became the fourth federal political party ever to run candidates in all the ridings. When the ballots were counted, the Green Party secured 4.3% of the popular vote, thereby surpassing the 2% threshold required for party financing under newElections Canada rules.[15]

Momentum continued to build around the Green Party of Canada and in the2006 federal election the Green Party again ran 308 candidates and increased its share of the popular vote to 4.5%, once again securing federal financing as a result.

The party's2006 election campaign was disrupted by allegations made by Matthew Pollesell, the party's former assistant national organizer, that Harris had not filed a proper accounting of money spent during his 2004 leadership campaign, as required by law. Pollesell issued a request that Elections Canada investigate. Pollesell and another former party member, Gretchen Schwarz, were subsequently warned by the party's legal counsel to retract allegations they had made or face a possible legal action. Dana Miller, who served in the party's shadow cabinet with responsibility for human-rights issues, made public her earlier complaints that the party has violated election law and its own constitution and has also asked for an Elections Canada investigation. Miller had been expelled from the party after filing a complaint within the party in April.[16]

Some opponents of Harris's leadership of the Green Party formed the rival Peace and Ecology Party,[17] which presumably disbanded after he stepped down as leader.

Arrival of Elizabeth May

[edit]
Elizabeth May, July 2014

Aleadership vote was held at the party's August 2006 convention. On April 24, 2006,Jim Harris announced his intention not to stand for re-election as party leader.[18] Three candidates officially entered the leadership race:David Chernushenko,Elizabeth May, and Jim Fannon. May won the leadership with 65% of the vote on the first ballot.

On October 22, 2006,Elizabeth May announced she would run in the federal by-election to be held on November 27, 2006, inLondon North Centre,Ontario. She finished second behind the Liberal candidate, but garnered 26% of the popular vote.

Even though it had never held a seat, Elizabeth May's Green Party began to receive more mainstream media attention on other party policy not directly related to the environment – for example, supporting labour rights[19] and poppy legalization inAfghanistan.[20]

On August 30, 2008, Vancouver area MPBlair Wilson became the first-ever Green member of Parliament, after sitting for nearly a year of the39th Canadian Parliament as anindependent. He had been aLiberal MP but stepped down voluntarily from the caucus earlier in the Parliament after anonymous allegations of campaign finance irregularities, most of which he was later cleared after a 9-month investigation byElections Canada.[21] Wilson had joined the Green Party during Parliament's summer recess and never sat in the House of Commons as a Green MP.

After initial opposition from three of the four major political parties, May was invited to the leaders' debates; this was a first for the party.[22] In the2008 federal election, the party increased its share of the popular vote by 2.33% (to 6.80%), being the only federally funded party to increase its total vote tally over 2006, attracting nearly 280,000 new votes. However, the party failed to elect a candidate. Some prominent Green Party members blamed the public discussion of strategic voting and the media's misrepresentation of May's comments during the election campaign for the failure of some promising candidates to reach Election Canada's 10% reimbursement threshold, as well as reducing the party's federal funding based on popular vote.

On August 11, 2010, 74% of Green Party members voted to hold aleadership review after thenext election, instead of in August 2010, which was when May's four-year term as leader was set to end.[23]

Greens in Parliament

[edit]

On May 2, 2011, May became the first elected Green Party MP to sit in the House of Commons. She won the riding ofSaanich—Gulf Islands in coastalBritish Columbia.[24] In winning her seat, May also became one of the few Greens worldwide to be elected in a federal, single-seat election.[25] On 13 December 2013,Thunder Bay—Superior North MPBruce Hyer, who had left theNew Democratic Party (NDP) in 2012 to sit as an independent after breaking party lines to vote in favour of a repeal of theLong Gun Registry, joined the party, resulting in a record two-member caucus in Parliament.[26]

Results of the2015 Canadian federal election showing support for Green candidates by riding

In August 2014, party president-elect Paul Estrin published a blog post on the Green Party's website criticizing the actions ofHamas during the2014 Israel–Gaza conflict. In his article, "Why Gaza Makes Me Sad", Estrin talked about Hamas' "desire to obliterate" the State ofIsrael and how the terrorist group uses children as human shields.[27] Estrin's blog post was subsequently deleted by the party, with many party seniors and decision makers, including Elizabeth May, distancing themselves from Estrin, with a large majority of the party calling on him to resign. On August 5, Estrin resigned, criticizing the party for betraying their commitment to values of inclusivity and open public discourse.[28] Elizabeth May accepted the resignation of Estrin, stating that he was not forced to resign, but did so of his own volition. May has said that the problem with his statements were the "confusion" they caused because they differed from party lines, but confirmed that Estrin was indeed a "true Green".[29]

In the lead up to thefederal election on October 19, 2015,José Núñez-Melo joined the Green Party. Núñez-Melo, first elected in 2011 as aNew Democrat in the riding ofLaval, was barred by the NDP from seeking re-nomination after he publicly criticized the nomination process; after the dropping of the writ, Núñez-Melo announced he would run for re-election inVimy as a Green Party candidate.[30] As Parliament was dissolved for the election at the time of Núñez-Melo's change in affiliation, he was never formally recorded as a Green MP. Ultimately, May was re-elected in the riding of Saanich—Gulf Islands while both Hyer and Núñez-Melo were defeated, leaving May as the only member in the House.[31]

In March 2018, Green Party leader Elizabeth May appointed journalist and broadcasterJo-Ann Roberts as a deputy leader along with environmentalist Daniel Green of Montreal. Roberts ran as Green Party candidate in a Victoria, British Columbia, riding during the 2015 federal election and finished second.[32]

On May 6, 2019,Paul Manly became the second MP elected under the party's banner, after winning aby-election inNanaimo—Ladysmith.[33][34][35] On 19 August 2019, a former NDP and brieflyIndependent MPPierre Nantel joined the Green Party during the Parliament's summer recess.[36][37]

During the2019 federal election, both May and Manly were re-elected whileJenica Atwin was elected in herNew Brunswick riding ofFredericton, making her the third elected Green MP in the federal parliament, and the first Green MP outside ofBritish Columbia.[38][39][40]

During the2021 federal election,Mike Morrice was elected inKitchener Centre, becoming the first Green MP elected inOntario, and second Green MP outside of British Columbia, as well the former leader May was re-elected. However, Manly was defeated in Nanaimo—Ladysmith.[41] In addition, Atwin won re-election as a Liberal candidate.[42]

Division under Annamie Paul

[edit]
Party LeaderAnnamie Paul (2020–2021)

On November 4, 2019, May announced she would be stepping down as leader of the Green Party of Canada.[43] May continued to act as parliamentary leader and sit as a Green member of Parliament. The decision to step down came as a promise to May's daughter.[44] Aleadership election was held on 3 October 2020, andToronto-based lawyer and activistAnnamie Paul was elected to succeed Elizabeth May as Green Party leader.[45][46] At the time, Annamie Paul had been described as acentrist.[47][48]

Paul ran in the2020 Toronto Centre federal by-election, where she placed second.[49]

On June 10, 2021,Jenica Atwin crossed the floor, leaving the Green caucus to join the Liberal caucus. This came shortly after a public rift over theIsraeli–Palestinian conflict. Atwin had criticized party leader Paul's statement on the matter following Israeli airstrikes as "inadequate", which in turn prompted an advisor to Paul, Noah Zatzman, to vow to replace Atwin with a "Zionist" candidate. In a Facebook post, Zatzman stated: "We will work to defeat you and bring in progressive climate champions who areantifa and pro LGBT and proindigenous sovereignty and Zionists!!!!!”[50] Atwin cited "distractions" in the Green Party as a factor in her departure.[51] The Green federal council subsequently passed a motion calling for Paul to repudiate Zatzman for his statements towards Atwin and other Green MPs, of which Paul refused to act on.[52][50] Following Atwin's defection, the remaining two Green MPs, Elizabeth May and Paul Manly, reaffirmed their commitment to their party and expressed their disappointment, stating "the attack against Ms. Atwin by the Green party leader's chief spokesperson on May 14 created the conditions that led to this crisis".[53]

In the2021 election, the party's share of the vote fell to its lowest amount in 21 years.[54] As well, the Green Party ran candidates in only 252 of the country's 338 ridings; limited resources and staff layoffs hampered any attempt at a co-ordinated countrywide campaign, which also lacked a national director during all five weeks of election campaigning.[55] A week after the election, Paul announced her intention to resign as leader.[56]

According to reporting byThe Tyee, Paul confronted the federal council following her statement to intend to resign. She allegedly asked the council “How many of you think I resigned today?” and following her statement with "Well, I didn't. I just started the process of my resignation."[53] Paul allegedly told Elizabeth May "not to talk to the media" regarding her exit, but May ignored her request and stated that Paul was "creating chaos".[53] May, talking withThe Tyee, stated that Paul was resistant to leave the building, and continued to control the party's communications. She cited an instance of an associate of Paul blocking Lorraine Rekmans, an Indigenous woman, from making a statement regarding the National Day for Truth and Reconciliation, and writing a statement instead.[53] An internal report of the Green Party obtained byThe Globe and Mail stated: "there is systemic racism at the governance level of the party, which needs to be, but is not being, addressed".[52] Former leaderJim Harris was critical of Paul's statements on her experiences of racism within the Green Party and dismissed the existence of issues of systemic racism within the party, stating: "When she doesn't get her way, she calls racism. Now, racism, sexism, and violent metaphors like 'walking over shards of glass' and 'spitting up blood' get headlines, but what we have to judge a leader by is their performance."[57] A member of the Greens' federal council, Louise Comeau, stepped down following the internal turmoil, citing "[the] stress and anxiety of those meetings affected [her] physical and mental health", with regards to negotiations surrounding Paul's departure.[53] May theorized Paul wished to negotiate a severance package before her departure as Green leader.[53]

On October 28, 2021, Green members received aleadership review ballot regarding Paul's continued status as leader.[58] Several days later, Paul told a press conference she was surprised by the review, and that it was unnecessary since she had previously announced her intention to resign.[59] Paul's protracted departure was due to continued legal conflict between Paul and the Green Party's leadership, with Paul negotiating compensation for legal fees incurred due to arbitration following a previous attempt to remove Paul as leader.[58][59] Paul officially resigned on November 10, 2021, as voting in the review was ongoing.[60] Her resignation took effect on November 14, 2021, upon its acceptance by the party's federal council.[61][62]

Aftermath

[edit]
Party logo until 2025

On November 24, 2021,Amita Kuttner was appointed interim leader.[63][64] Appointed at the age of 30, Kuttner was the youngest person to lead a federal political party, as well as the firsttransgender person and person ofEast Asian heritage.[64]

The party's constitution required a leadership election to select a permanent leader to begin within six months of the appointment of an interim leader, and conclude within two years of their appointment.[65][66] Kuttner had said that they did not wish to be the permanent leader.[65] In December 2021, Kuttner said that they believed there should be a "longer period before launching a permanent leadership contest, and then a short leadership race."[67]

In a press conference about a week after their appointment, Kuttner said they wanted to start the process of regrowth and to heal the party.[68] The party had released a report indicating that it was threatened with insolvency, and was considering closing its office in Ottawa.[69] The party had lost 499 monthly donors since July 2021, and 6,259 members in the same time.[69] Kuttner acknowledged internal conflict over Annamie Paul's leadership had affected donations.[69] The report also blamed negotiations concerning Annamie Paul's departure as leader of the party for significant legal costs.[69] In a December 2021 media interview, Kuttner said that the party's financial position was getting "back on track" and was "turning around" pointing to fundraising including at the party's virtual general meeting about a week earlier.[70]

On September 11, 2022, the president of the party, Lorraine Rekmans, announced her resignation. She was very critical of the party and the candidates in the ongoing leadership race, stating "The dream is dead."[71] She was succeeded as party president by Ian Soutar.[72]

Return of Elizabeth May and co-leadership

[edit]
Co-leaders Elizabeth May and Jonathan Pedneault

On November 19, 2022, Elizabeth May waselected leader of the party once again, promising to convert the current leadership model into a co-leadership model, withJonathan Pedneault being her co-leader.[73] May ran with Pedneault in the leadership race, and Pedneault served as the deputy leader of the party.[74] In February 2024, party members were to vote on motions which, if passed, would have amended the party's constitution to implement a co-leadership model.[75] However, Pedneault was unsuccessful in his attempt to win a seat in the House of Commons through a byelection and the proposed constitutional amendment was not voted upon due to disagreement within the party.[76] On July 9, 2024, Jonathan Pedneault resigned as deputy leader, citing personal reasons.[77][78] He returned in January 2025 to serve as co-leader, pending election by party membership, which wasapproved on February 4, 2025.[79][80][81] The party unveiled its new logo on February 18, its first rebrand in 25 years.[82]

Jonathan Pedneault spoke to the press the morning of April 16, 2025, after the Green Party's invitation to a debate scheduled for the same evening was withdrawn. The Leaders' Debate Commission said the Party was disqualified for "strategically" dropping the number of its candidates from 343 to 232 before the2025 Canadian federal election. "Parties that deliberately reduce candidate numbers, limit voters' choices and undermine the premise that a national debate includes truly national parties," it stated. Pedneault called the decision "undemocratic."[83][84] In the election, the party was once again reduced to 1 seat (Saanich—Gulf Islands), and a further decreased popular vote of just over 1%. Pedneault resigned as co-leader two days after the election, taking responsibility for the party's dismal electoral results.[85] On August 19, May announced her intention to resign as party leader.[86]

Political position

[edit]

The Green Party officially rejects the traditionalleft–right political spectrum, describing it as "something of an anachronism". Instead, the Green Party believes that "voters in modern democracies [are] divided on lines … more to do with 'insiders' and 'outsiders.'"[87] According to co-founder and former leader Trevor Hancock, "the perennial left vs. right squabbling about who gets to control and benefit from the ever-expanding pie is to completely miss the point; the pie cannot continue to expand, indeed it must contract … the struggle for social justice is deeply rooted in the fact that the limits to growth requires a radical global and societal redistribution of the Earth’s limited resources."[88] In 2019, the Green Party under Elizabeth May ran on a campaign slogan of "Not Left. Not Right. Forward Together."[89]

The party is noted as having a wide range of internal factions; the2020 leadership election saw both self-describedmoderate andeco-socialist candidates.[90] Writing inMaclean's, Anne Kingston described the party as an "ideological hybrid", combining left-leaning views on social issues and welfare with a right-leaning embrace of market solutions and tax shifting.[91] In another article, Matt Gurney concurred with that description; he also said that "in practice", the Greens are "simply another centre-left party".[92] Other political commentators, such asAndrew Coyne,[93]Chantal Hébert[94] andHeather Mallick,[95] identify the party as being on the left.

Principles

[edit]

The Green Party of Canada is founded on six key principles that were adopted at the 2002 convention of theGlobal Greens.[5] These principles are:

Provincial and territorial parties

[edit]
See also:List of Green party leaders in Canada

Nine provinces have an active Green party. While these parties and the Green Party of Canada share values and often supporters, they operate as independent entities and do not have common membership.

Nine Green legislators sit in provincial legislative assemblies, including three inPrince Edward Island, two inBritish Columbia, two inNew Brunswick, and two inOntario. The Greens in Prince Edward Island were the first Green party to form the official opposition in any provincial assembly.

The only province without a Green party isNewfoundland and Labrador. An association called the Terra Nova Greens, created in 1996, was previously the Green Party of Canada's "official unit" for the province.[99] TNG was never a registered party, but fielded independent candidates in three provincial general elections. They remained the federal party's "official unit" until 2007, but most supporters cut ties to the national party in 2006 (or earlier) over its opposition to the traditional Newfoundlandseal hunt. As of 2021, there are ongoing efforts to establish a provincial green party in Newfoundland and Labrador.[100]

TheYukon Green Party was active from 2011 to 2021.[101]

Nunavut and theNorthwest Territories have legislatures that use non-partisanconsensus government. As such, there are no registered green parties (or any other parties) in these territories. However, one member of the Northwest Territories Legislative Assembly was known to be a member of the federal Green Party:Rylund Johnson ofYellowknife North.[102]
