OTTAWA -- Former Green Party leader Jim Harris is accusing Annamie Paul of using her experience of racism and sexism as excuses for what he calls her poor performance over the last year -- comments that Black Lives Matter Toronto co-founder Sandy Hudson calls “disgusting.”
In a separate interview on CTV News Channel’s Power Play on Monday, Hudson said Harris’ comments were outrageous. When she became leader in October 2020, Paul made history as the first Jewish woman and first Black woman to be elected leader of a major political party in Canada. In the 2021 federal vote, Paul failed to win a seat, or grow the Greens’ seat count in the House of Commons.
Paul has fought ardently against internal criticisms of her leadership style, suggesting they were based in racism and sexism.“Annamie Paul gets elected and she demands a quarter of a million dollars a year compensation, she demands control over communications, she demands control over hiring and firing her staff, she demands control over the website,” he said.
What a stupid thing to say. Obviously we may never know what happened internally and who’s in the “right” here. She’s on her way out so there’s no need to make that kinda accusation. Let’s get competent leadership and grow the party
Yes, do not call the spoiled baby, a spoiled baby! She will cry. Paul was a poor leader. Her leadership style lacked something? Oh yes, leadership.
Criticized for telling the truth? No one wants to hear they just failed. There's always an excuse.
Absolutely. It's a card that gets played all the time these days.

Much respect for sandela but sorry, Ms. Paul is a racist herself. I was aware she was Jewish and she was 2 on the ranked ballot for party leader. But had no idea she was a Zionist. Caught me off guard. Zionism is a form of supremacy, surprised she was with the CanadianGreens
We had more representation (visibly at least) than before, picture Trudeau x Mulcair x Otoole x May for a lack of contrast, could have been a nice 'look at us not being as terrible as the US' if the party that controlled the media werent actively working towards that as a goal✌️
That was possibly the worst journalism I’ve seen on CTV. Generally it’s a good ideas not to talk over and belittle your guest. The guy could barely get a word in.
We all saw her do it. Everyone that didn’t vote for Paul is a racist, misogynistic, anti-Semite environment hater in her mind. It’s not that she just sucks.
Like when Trudeau called a white young pebble thrower racist? Seems like the thing to do these days in politics
Wow is this guy tone deaf, shut him up before the Greens lose the last few supporters. CanadianGreens
People on the left hate it when people point out the truth especially if it's a white man doing so. Most if the 'rAcISm' we hear about today is people of colour not getting what they want. Indigenous people in Canada have been pulling that con for years now.
Again like Conservatives the Greens chose a weak leader. Next time get a professional to assess your choice.
I believe him,They are right every time the Black scream racism, when it don't go their way. Unfucking real. Just look for headlines when they scream out. They are never right. Just another shit show. BS
The green party is butchering itself and it isn't Paul's fault.
He's right. Not only regarding her but for everyone else as well. Crying racism when you can't win an argument; get mad; get declined a credit card; get bad service at a restursnt; and so forth. Calling racism today for everything one can't do; just a sign of the times.
Black people always do that. Every time they can't get a rental or get rounded up a put in chains or stopped for driving a decent looking car, or chased down and hung they scream racism.
If the party was actually racist & sexist - why would she join them, why would she represent them & why would she run for the top spot in that party? Also why would the racist sexist political party select a black woman as their leader? Lol
He's right though. Lol criticize him all you want- he's not wrong.
