Opinion: The Green Party is Canada’s true populist menace
Green Party leader Elizabeth May embraces Paul Manly, a newly elected member of Parliament, during a news conference in Ottawa on May 10. By J.J. McCullough J.J. McCullough Email Bio Follow Global Opinions contributing writer May 10 at 3:21 PM On May 6, the Green Party of Canada elected its second member of Parliament in the party’s 35 years of existence.
Virtually all reporting on the Greens in the May era has consisted of repeating the same credulous cliches in slightly different order. Every federal election earns stories saying things like May’s party is eyeing a breakthrough and “could make history.” Voters are said to be giving the Greens a serious second look this time, and the other parties are instructed to worry. Some hallucinate scenarios in which May winds up “kingmaker” of the next parliament.
Much effort has been exerted lately to link Canada’s Conservatives and upstart People’s Party to the white nationalist fringe. Yet the only party that has truly struggled with clear and overt anti-Semitism within its ranks are May’s Greens.
