Elizabeth May Says Greens Can Win Byelection by Campaigning on PM’s Climate Record
May says climate policy and Burrard Inlet dredging could help the Greens overcome a weak federal record in the riding, where they have never finished higher than third.
- On Sunday, Green Party Leader Elizabeth May stated the party can win the North Vancouver-Capilano byelection, citing dissatisfaction with Liberal environmental policies as a potential catalyst for an upset.
- The byelection follows former natural resources minister Jonathan Wilkinson vacating the seat after Prime Minister Mark Carney appointed him ambassador to the European Union.
- Green candidate Shelley Luce, an environmental scientist with a doctorate from UCLA, anchors the campaign, with May arguing that Ottawa's approval of dredging Vancouver's Burrard Inlet creates a wedge issue.
- Despite May's optimism, analyst Éric Grenier of 338 Canada noted that winning a riding with 100,000 voters remains a significant challenge for the Greens, citing polling data suggesting an uphill climb.
- As the party prepares for the next general election, May is navigating internal leadership transitions, reflecting on the co-leadership model she shared with Jonathan Pedneault last year.
