OTTAWA—The Green Party of Canada slashed two staffers from embattled leader Annamie Paul’s office as it carried out planned layoffs on Wednesday, the Star has learned. The terminations are slated to take hold Friday, according to a letter obtained by the Star that informed employees of their “temporary” layoffs. Taylor and party spokespeople did not respond to questions from the Star about the layoffs Wednesday, including how many employees were laid off and how they were selected. Taylor previously signalled the layoffs were imminent in an email to staff sent last week that said 15 employees would get cut. Sean Yo, who managed Paul’s campaign in a federal byelection last year, criticized Taylor for slashing Mitra’s position.
