Former Green leader criticized the New Democrats for not withdrawing their candidate in the upcoming Toronto Centre byelection, where the Greens’ new leader is campaigning.

Elizabeth May expressed her displeasure towards the NDP Leader Jagmeet Singh during a press conference on Parliament Hill on Monday for not standing down his candidate running in the coming Toronto Centre byelection on Oct. 26—a return of “leader’s courtesy” which the Greens offered him during his 2019 general election in the Burnaby South riding.
