Elizabeth May says she could step down as Green Party leader later this month if her party doesn’t reconsider its decision to endorse a movement that calls for the boycott of Israel.
The Leader is always the “last” to know.

Confusion to the enemy!
Sieg Heil Bucky
I notice that the Commie Broadcasting Cowards still do not allow commenting on 99.9% of their articles on any forum. Send them a “nice” little reminder about free speech in a free country. Can’t wait for the reply…crickets. BTW,we still are a free country,right???
Isn’t she already in training to become an Anglican priest? She needs less than a year (May 11, 2017) as an MP to qualify for a pension, and she can stay on in Parliament as an Independent, joining Hunter Tootoo. Should she resign as leader of the Greens, look for her to maximize her pension by staying in Parliament as long as possible. She is 62, after all.
“BTW,we still are a free country,right???”
Absolutely. We are allowed all the free speech a bolshevik judge deems reasonable in the circumstances.
Seig Heil Bucky?
No wonder CBC curtails comments from ignoramuses
I detest Ms. Green…
At least she may be taken a moral position I can respect for a change
Sorry to say clown commentaries like this keep me from visiting SDA
as much as I used to
It’s not easy trying to read anything rational into the whims of a political party based on a colour signifying a pompous attitude on all things environmental which literally means omniscience. The only useful function of such theocrats is to pull votes from the other flaky progressives. At their present level of support, they should always be encouraged by Conservatives as they don’t draw many away from them save the “odd” red Tory.
Being anti-Israel reflects their aging, white, service sector, middle class demographic that came of age when, after the 67 war Israel went from being the cause celebre of the left to that of pariah. The left’s deference for Palestine is at least partially responsible for Europe’s current accelerated conversion to something between Lebanon and the reality of Palestine.
Lizzy can always go back to being a Red Tory. Perhaps she can throw her name in for leadership of the CPC. LOL!

“And if May does step down, the Greens could be in an even bigger mess, since her formidable skills as a speaker, parliamentarian and media magnet have helped give the tiny party a big public profile…”
Yup. I don’t know what would be harder to replace – her eloquence…or her elegance.

Let me predict that Ms May will come to grips with her angst and sacrifice herself, yet again, to remain the leader of the Party of One and a surprising fixture with the MSM. After all, someone has to account for the millions that have flowed to and through her party since she became it, and the trauma of handing over the reigns of the purse strings would be a huge distraction from all the important things she flits between. And, as mentioned already, there are the perks of the real office she holds (as an independent MP whose travel budget encompasses the breadth of the country) that beckon now, and in her future. Unless, of course, The Butterfly graces her with an offer that cannot be refused…
good bye pussy. If I tell that May is a Jew, as was hitler, would you be upset. (Hitler’s paternal GF was Jewish)
and then there is the fact, as stated in the article, that there are Jews who support the anti-Israel bullsh*t. You reall y need to find a “safe-space” snowflake
The past drinking habits of MAY (drunk as a skunk) may help stir real feelings… Vodka & a buck toothed beaver in a porno film…
By rights, May should have disappeared forever from the political scene way back in May 2015 – seconds after Lisa Raitt strong-armed her off the stage during her addlepated rant at that Ottawa press do.
Lizzie May or May not resign.
S**t or get off the pot Lizzie.
You don’t understand her constituency. They are the nut jobs who protest with 9/11 troofer signs. Her base is a coalition of nutjobs and she’s their queen. I don’t understand why this is a bridge too far for her.
“You don’t understand her constituency.”
Oh, I know. But that episode at the press function illustrates the hypocrisy of Canadian politics.
Say what you will about Harper or Mulcair or Trudeau but if any one of them had pulled a stunt like that they would have been finished for good.
(I suppose it’s also possible that the utter insignificance of May and the Greens as a political force meant that anything she does or says is irrelevant.)
Lizard will stay until her pension is fully vested. By then bongo will see that she will have been vetted for a Senate appointment.
She has been a solid bongo supporter.
Gee, Paul, I don’t think anyone noticed your absence, so carry on with it … This not a place for the politically correct snowflake.
Further, it is not a stretch to see Bucky as a commie/nazi/ … That is where this repressive green movement leads. To succeed the green garbage bag will require total control of the population because most people do not agree with her philosophy of guilt and lies to murder capitalism … You know … The current, fabulous system that you presently enjoy.
The system we enjoy (for now) has provided prosperity, freedom and peace . It’s pretty hard to improve on that even with millions of windmills ….
“This not a place for the politically correct snowflake.”
I think whacking them is fun.
Also, it helps the lurkers to gain confidence and learn how to whack them in person, in real time.
Ever looked back at an encounter with a Leftist(or anyone) and think, “Oh yeah, I should have said this and that.”
Well, hitting them with cluebats here at SDA arms the lurkers for battle against the Leftist talking points in the real world and builds their confidence to even partake as an SDA commenter.
Don’t be silly … she (and the Greens) LOVE the Joos ! … they just HATE Israel. You see, they are anti-Zionists … not anti-Semites. That is the modern rationalization used by the left. Yet it Is no different from Hitler’s beliefs. Hitler preached that the Joos were ruining neighborhoods, stealing all the money, and ruining the lives of Germans. Leftists preach that Israel is ruining the middle eastern neighborhood, stealing money from America, and ruining the lives of “Palestinians”. Sorry … there is no distinction between HATING Israel … and HATING Joos.
Bucky might join the NDP and replace Angry Tom. The timing is perfect.
Now that idea has legs. I won’t forget you said it first.
However, let’s not forget that she would be Cabinet Minister material in Zoolander’s government.(considering the Cabinet Ministers he already has doing Stellar work for him already)
I think Bucky’s agonizing decision will depend largely on whether T2 offers her a plush sinecure or not. He doesn’t need her anymore, his own ranks being packed with ecoweenies, so that may not happen. I reckon about a 70% chance she stays on as Green Queen.
The Greens love trees but hate Jews.
Cripes!
Dizzy Lizzy has more teeth in her mouth than a meth lab floor…..
Well said Kenji.
It is all about “renewable and sustainable” resources and Lizzy’s “principles”. If she does not get her way, how long will she have to sit as an independent until she gets the ultimate renewable and sustainable resource; a federal government pension? As for her principles, the buck-tooth stops here!
