Alex Tyrrell, the leader of the Green Party of Quebec who has publicly criticized the federal party under May’s leadership, told the Star he might try and replace her. And Dimitri Lascaris, a lawyer and activist in Montreal who sits on the Quebec Greens’ executive council, said he is consulting like-minded supporters about a leadership bid.
