Old poll from October, but it dispels a common belief that the Greens mostly steal votes from the NDP.

Has there been a party in recent memory with a crazier five days than the GPC?

Probably not at the federal level, though the Patrick Brown fiasco for the Ontario PCs gives this a run for the money.

Also, a friend reminded me of the Liberal Copps vs. Martin civil war in 2003-04.

She's done. She won't have a seat and will resign after the fall election.

So now she blames the PM for internal party strife and general disarray? Good luck with that....

Interesting to note that the two members of the federal council who made the complaint are women:

The head of the Greens' governing body said an ultimatum to leader Annamie Paul still stands, leaving her job in limbo as infighting continues to strain the top rungs of the party.
Liana Cusmano, interim president of the party's federal council, said in an interview that a motion passed by the body two weeks ago demanding that Paul repudiate a former adviser's remarks about antisemitism remains in effect.
Cusmano said she has asked Paul to retract comments to media that suggested she no longer has to go through with the disavowal.

Mass layoffs yesterday by the party HQ. Annamie Paul has lost all staff.

This is so beyond bizarre.
I've never seen self-immolation of a party on this scale, seemingly on purpose.
There have been some close calls; but this is all together nuts.

Mass layoffs months away from an election is not a good sign for the Greens.
They have also nominated less than 15% of their candidates.

The party is broke, and the leader didn't get the memo that the party council is the one in control of the party, not the leader.
She continues to refuse to walk back her advisors statement, and made up that she doesn't even have to do so now.
The party is dead, expect the two sitting MP's to form a new Green party once the part collapses and AP is turfed.

Green party brass move to block funding for leader Annamie Paul’s riding campaign
OTTAWA - Green party executives have moved to withhold funding from leader Annamie Paul’s campaign to win a downtown Toronto seat in a likely election later this year.
