It would be a "great blow" to the Green Party if Elizabeth May decides to walk away as leader, one of its deputies said Sunday. "Elizabeth is the figure head, is the heart and soul of the Green Party of Canada." The decision was quickly denounced by some Jewish groups and it also caused fierce debate inside the Green Party. There is no doubt that May has been personally "heartbroken" following the convention, Green said. The Green Party of Canada is too fragile to cause division among ourselves."
