May suggested that the party has been slower to make the change than she would’ve liked. “My own timeline would have been more aggressive from the moment when the leadership race ended,” she said.
Pedneault said his decision to resign from his role has been in the works for weeks, but declined to detail any specifics outside of stating it was for personal reasons.
May confirmed Tuesday that a second deputy leader for the Greens, Angela Davidson, who is also known as Rainbow Eyes, is fighting a conviction stemming from protest activities in British Columbia.
The now-sole leader of the Greens also asserted Tuesday that she plans to run for re-election in her Vancouver Island riding when Canadians next go to the polls, which must happen no later than October 2025.
Last year, the 70-year-old suffered a stroke, which she said her husband called “a stroke of luck,” because he had been without a family doctor for the past eight years and now finally has one after the ordeal.
