| Description | The president of the Green Party of Canada has resigned, telling members in a letter that her “optimism has died” amid ongoing party turmoil.
The Canadian Press has obtained a letter from Lorraine Rekmans, who wrote that she can no longer serve because “there is no vision for a better future, but only an effort to look back and settle old scores, while the planet burns.”
“I leave this party on my own terms,” Rekmans wrote. “I have resigned for principle. I had no confidence in the leadership contestants, and they had no confidence in me, and I lost confidence in federal council.”
Rekmans wrote that she has been marginalized, insulted and denigrated by leadership contestants and sees no way to continue as president when one of them will be principal spokesperson for the party. |
