@hockeyhijabi Fyu: Beyond the overt use of the N-word & antisemitic slurs, Green Party members suggested following Ms. Paul to her synagogue to see what they preached there.
This was throughout her time as both candidate & actual leader.
That's the type of antisemitism I was referring to.
@hockeyhijabi I 100% respect that
I didn't/wouldn’t vote Green or even for Ms. Paul because of the way all have comported themselves.
People like Michael still want to focus on Israel/Palestine when this issue was so much more; that does a disservice to BIPOC people [esp. women] in politics.
@hockeyhijabi Understood, but this was specific to Annamie Paul. The people pushing Israel/Palestine as the reason she lost, was unpopular and ultimately was forced to resign are actively choosing to ignore the racist + antisemitic roadblocks the Green Party put up against her from minute one.
@JamesMoore_org Once it was clear that Ms. Paul was the only normal candidate who could win the GPC leadership, she kinda-sorta made her the preferred successor. Barely.
That was literally it.
The @canadiangreens kneecapped her then engaged in the gaslighting which is what many BIPOC experience in leadership positions. You can't window-dress and expect to solve everything
I'm loving @AnnamiePaul's resignation speech because she didn't shy away from the fact that the attacks against her have worn her down. That's true, that's real. This is real mental health shit #cdnpoli
@MelaynaWilliams@Joyhenderson78 *Some* in the party "loved" the idea of her as leader.
The minute she became leader (less than a year) & tried to implement change, audit the org, install systems, etc., the problems began.
Before that, it was run-of-the-mill racism + antisemitism by some members.
@HM010996 @Youcangougeaway@Nickiatori@JJ_McCullough No disagreement here.
But for a minute, the Green Party was taken seriously as a national party and [externally] looked to be making inroads + progress.
It was a cult of Elizabeth May, and then when she "left", it became anarchy with vestiges of her sycophants in key positions.
@EmmMacfarlane She faced obstructionism & racist microagressions + double standards long before that.
There's a racist + antisemitic [along with conspiracy theorist] rot in that party that won't be fixed so long as EMay and her cronies are around.
@NoLore They mass fired staffers by email the day after a previous election... and then expected the same staffers to continue with the [substantial] post-election work.
