Three former Green Party staffers are accusing longtime leader Elizabeth May of workplace bullying, alleging she has created a toxic work environment with conduct that includes yelling at employees and putting them down in front of their colleagues.
Rob Rainer, a manager of six non-profit organizations before he served as the party’s interim executive director in 2014, said the Green Party has failed to address and prevent a pattern of “verbal and emotional” abuse by the 63-year-old leader.
“What I witnessed was her proclivity to be negative and — most seriously — to berate, belittle and bully individuals,” Rainer said. “How we speak to other people can really, really hurt.”
She’s built the party she deserves.
They say a person’s real character is revealed when they are drunk. We witnessed her drunk and it was not a pretty picture.
There’s an extra ‘U’ in your headline.
Sounds like a kindred spirit to Hillary
If I was surrounded by the same crazed loons as Ms May I’m sure I would be guilty of the same “negative” activities. I am sure they all deserve it.
I think Hillary was drunk last night …

“Thanks to activist bitches for supporting bitches …”. HER version of being a Nassssssty woman.
PS … Hillary … more make-up prior to Skyping.
Why would anyone expect a person dedicated to inflicting their own (green) theology on a nation thereby converting it into a theocracy to be anything but a thug with a personality to match her appearance. She considers herself to be a priestess but her demeanor more resembles a rabid female dog. BC’s Andrew Weaver is her male equivalent in every way.
We witnessed her drunk and it was not a pretty picture.
Ah, but we found out why poor little Omar won the grievance lottery. While she was being escorted off the stage at that dinner where she was publicly blotto, she reminded us that he had a lot more character than the entire Harper cabinet.
Just said that TSLA was a cult, and along comes Lizzie and her greenie party.
Cult story redux. Extreme ideological zealots. Remember, only THEY care about the environment, and no one else. I’m sure they tell themselves that on their jetsetting vacays to distant lands. Especially her constituents in Oak Bay (and Andrew Weavers), one of the highest income per capita ridings in the country. Greens embody cognitive dissonance.
She’s a visionary, dontcha know?
With regards to her personality, her riding is Saanich-Gulf Islands. “Nuff said.
Life is full of ugly little persons, angry over the lack of recognition they receive.
No one recognizes their “genius”, if only we did we would surrender to the superior intellect and let “them” help us live…
.
To this end they never let up. being “superior” they must rule over us all, for we are doing life wrong,
forever nagging, hectoring and annoying they “Offer their services” at every opportunity and do not take rejection well.
Some go so far as to suck up to the powers that be, such as the Media Party of Canada, to seek some crumbs of power,inferred authority.
Some start their own political parties.
I might have to copy their madness, the party of Stop the Theft,crush the fools, starve the bandits..the drench party, destroy infestation.
Had Enough Yet?
HEY Canada!
Negativity, Berate, Bully, and Belittle.
Ummmm… she’s a lefty, correct?
What were you expecting, Rob?
*
“berate, belittle and bully…”
like getting incessantly drunk-dialed by a
bitter ex-girlfriend.
say… who is lizzie-poo’s significant other?

Progessives grow up lying to themselves. It should come as no surprise that they are painfully self-unaware as adults.
No, this country hasn’t had enough.
Not when they want pot to be free and legal.
Not when solar and wind power are seen as virtuous and better.
Not when they want a vacant, entitled, empty suit as a PM.
Not when the solution to everything is more taxes, more spending and more government.
Not when Wynne is STILL likely to be re-elected.
Not when city councils continue to be made up of green, cycling advocates, plastic bag banners, and pot shop ideologues.
No, despite countless examples of socialism’s failures in many countries, and in many American Democratic cities, Canadians still think it will just work this time, here.
One would think that the example of the decades long government dependence of FN people’s would be enough to show, that more government is the problem, not the solution.
Look at the diatribe against Trump by the left, by the MOAR Government socialists of the Democrat party.
No, Canadians, the LIVs that only care about last nights hockey scores, the price of a Timmy’s, and whether it’s raining or not, will need a world of hurt from the left before they get it. Otherwise, it’s whatever the talking heads on the Corpse, LCTV, Glowbull, or the Murican MSM tell them to think, is what they believe, without question. Why would the media EVER lie?
Lisa Raitt should not have pulled her away from that mic.
Bingo!
I was among those who, nearly 50 years ago, thought that PET as PM would damage the country. Many people I knew back then ignored me because they were under the influence of Trudeaumania (“He’s young! He’s hip!”).
Unfortunately, history has proven me right, but those supporters from back then now have descendants who think the same way as they do about Prince Unicorn Hugger. Look what happened.
Becoming a hermit is looking better all the time.
Yes,I lost all respect for Raitt when she did that.
May very well might have destroyed her career if left on stage long enough,but Lisa Raitt chose to rescue her,for Allah knows what reason.
Is it perhaps that Raitt was saving a fellow member of the women’s politician club?
And I’m not the least surprised to see accusations such as this about May, far Left zealots are often extreme in their emotions and their dealings with those they see as lesser people.
I’ve been saying the same thing for years. Canadians are really, really stupid en masse.
You may be right, but personally I think Raitt was just showing class.
The sort that May would never show to someone from the other side of the political aisle.
Or Omar would not show to an American medic.
The fact that May was not crucified in the media, and was re-elected after that showing – we really are washed up as a country.
But Raitt came off as simply classy, IMHO. Much like Harper always was as a person.
The fact that May was not crucified in the media, and was re-elected after that showing – we really are washed up as a country.
Like I mentioned in an earlier comment, look at where her riding is and you have your answer. I noticed the same mentality and behaviour when I was a grad student at UBC nearly 40 years ago.
It must be the climate that makes people behave like that…..
“No, this country hasn’t had enough.”
Yah I know, I am currently working with IBEW electricians who are being killed by the taxes on their income,who still advocate for the NPD.
But that meme H.E.Y seems apt for our times, it is short sarcastic and lingers.
Most working people sense all is not well, just feel powerless to change anything.
Kleptocracy Rules.
We are a minority, having no power in numbers,we must have the power of persistence.
Although President Trumps USA looks very attractive to skilled mobile people.
Staying to float the ship off of the rocks it grounded on years ago is perverse, a hobby only a true Canadian could contemplate.
Must be why the beaver is our national beast, programmed by its genes to build into a forboding future.
i look forward to the 40cent dollar and the hiving off of Western Canada as the debt comes due.
For Saskatchewan and Alberta, the USA is a far friendlier business partner than our fellow Canadians.
The obstruction of provincial trade is clear evidence here,actions speak,words from Pollies are just noise.
Currently the only hope I see for Canada as a country, is if the current system crashes and burns quickly, while there are still people living who know how to build useful infrastructure and institutions.
One must concede our grandparents built well, for the last 50 years of willful stupidity has not quite shattered the structures they put in place.
“…that includes yelling at employees and putting them down in front of their colleagues.”
Oh my goodness! Imagine that – getting yelled at.
Don’t construe this as a defence of the gormless green idiot, but either yell right *&^%$#g back, and/or quit working for the arsehole.
You may be right,but you are a lot more charitable than I.
Imo, if politics is supposed to be the “blood sport” the media always claims it is,especially when excoriating a Conservative over some trivial matter($16 orange juice?) then you do not under any circumstances give aid and comfort to the enemy.
But I have believed for many years now that Parliament is more a cozy insiders club in which the members are more interested in maintaining the status quo than in actually representing their constituents.
Elizabeth May was one of the most vicious and vociferous critics of Stephen Harper and the Conservative government. No Conservative should EVER have saved her from a possibly career ending display of her true character.
You CAN say that Raitt acted with class, but that isn’t my definition of “class”, just pure political stupidity.Class would have been Raitt’s giving her condolences to May AFTER she lost her seat in the next election over her drunken rant.
The Left sees politics much differently than the Right apparently does,which is probably why they usually win.
been saying that for years. in my world however someone who deserves an insult gets an insult.
The CPC doesn’t get it, and maybe never will. They still try to cozy up to the media, thinking they can be their friends.
The insolent, virulent, ongoing attacks on PMSH over anything and everything, while the same media fawns, sighs, and bows to PM Sock boy, and ignores all his shortcomings and faults, seems to not register on the CPC operatives. Dumb as bricks, so long as they try to make nicey nicey with the enemy combatants.
Well said. Both times.
Canadians on your listing are so busy with sport etc, living in a bubble in which the little “news” they watch is nothing but progressive propaganda that they have not a clue about what has happened elsewhere. History is no longer taught, only so-called social justice tainted history.
It’s not the history, it’s their current mantra of SJW BS, that tranny’s are normal (instead of mentally ill) for example. There is no discussion. Obey or else!
Same for the carbon tax and Glowbull Warming. Accept or else!
Our poor education system.
The media. Never wrong, but always hectoring and lecturing, despite a degree that only teaches one how to spell, write a sentence paragraph and a story. But for some reason, they are trusted as experts on everything? Why? When did that become the absolute rule?
We can only hope that cord cutting and lack of newspaper subscriptions can send a message, but it doesn’t. Look at Vice, Nutty until the end.
The local rag, the Times Communist, has an avowed socialist as the editor. He’s always espousing more governement and more taxes as the solution to all ills. This despite their classifieds falling to a threadbare section, with very little other adverts in the paper. One would think the rags would get the message, stop belittling our capitalist economy, but no. The media are good soldiers who will go down as loyal as a Japanese soldier did, to the death.
And don’t get me started on the talking heads on the boob tube. They either dumber than a bag of rocks, or, chief propagandists appointed by the LPC and GREENDP hierarchy. Can’t figure out why Rogers, BCE or Shaw, allow this rampant leftism to occur on their networks, unless they are also corrupt to the core, bought and paid for by Trudy and the LPC to stay silent. Oh, the halls of power.
Still not sure why they put her portrait on the nickel
“I studied for the priest hood.” Wow . Well their is no probability her halo will slide down and choke her .
Will you be dining alone Madame?
Whenever I bring up the issue of politics with people, the typical response is either “I don’t bother with politics” or “What can you do about it?”
Ah, but if the government does something they don’t like, guess who screams like stuck pigs?
Like I wrote earlier, becoming a hermit is beginning to look good to me right now.
Ha ha ha ha … drunk dialed by your ex … too funny
It has been 100 years since the milch cow cartoon, and the west hasn’t split yet. It just isn’t ever going to happen. Canada as a whole is majority stupid, and any way you divy it up, each region is majority stupid as well. Saskatchewan, the RM of Corman Park, the town of Vanscoy, the 300 block of main street… all majority stupid.
“….that cord cutting and lack of newspaper subscriptions can send a message,…”
It sure did. Media will now be bankrolled by taxpayers in the next budget, rumors have it, somewhat like politishuns were under Cretin. As in “Well, we need to have politishuns to fill seats in the HoC, to make it look like we’re a democracy”. Then we have to pay them a lot to “attract brilliant people to govern us”. Like bank CEO’s.
The current crop of so-called conservatives seem to support that idea. Nary a harsh word spoken across the isle, lately. Content, like cows. Politically Correct Cows.
I’m tallying up my carbon taxes & deducting it off my Income Tax return, as a cost of doing business. My business is “living in Canada”. Tax me on carbon & you are taxing me as if I was property of the Federal Government. F.U. Feds. & the Province in which I live, too. You don’t own me.
Ahhh,ha hah, ha! Very good. You are very astute….I always thought the same thing.
Berate, belittle, and bully.
Anyone that has seen her performance to get a spot in the federal leaders debate, her performance during those debates, and her performance during question period would not call into doubt those accusations.
Yes, all my UofC friends who were pot beds moved there decades ago.
green . . . green . . . green. hmmm . . .
well, bile is a shade of green, right? at least they got THAT part right !
part of being a bully is to deny it.
the reason lizzy may is a party of ONE mp, is HER.
