Green Party Leader Annamie Paul is brushing off calls for her ouster as the party's governing body lines up a future vote that could see her removed from her post.

OTTAWA -- Green Party Leader Annamie Paul is brushing off calls for her ouster as the party’s governing body lines up a future vote that could see her removed from her post.

He said there will be meeting tonight to discuss the situation and the federal council will vote “on non-confidence probably in 30 days from now.” Atwin had maintained that she stands by her pro-Palestinian position, and was hurt by the accusation made that she was anti-Semitic. She said she’s been told there is a difference of opinion among Liberals and believes there will be an opportunity within her new caucus to have a more “healthy discussion and debate” than was possible with her former team."Palestinians are suffering. Israelis are also suffering as well as their loved ones in Canada and around the world. No one wins with war.

“They are cynical. They are aggressive in pursuit of their majority in the next election,” she said. “They’re willing to sow division, they’re willing to encourage people to turn against their beliefs and they will stop at almost nothing, even if it means suppressing the views of their newest member, even if it means going after the first Black and Jewish woman to be elected to this role.”

In an interview on CTV News Channel’s Power Play on Tuesday, Economic Development and Official Languages Minister Melanie Joly said she is “sorry” Paul perceives this as a Liberal attack.

How many votes in the useless party, one, maybe two?

Rather than step down, she is making things worse. She will be voted out.

It’s almost like the Green Party matters or something.

Curious as to the reason for non confidence. Not sufficiently anti-Semitic enough?

Fight to the end. You are not alone.

Fight to the end. You have to set an example to all young coloured girls to not be bullied.

Cannot care less as long as they do not run this country

Green Leader Annamie Paul facing no-confidence motion from party brassGreen Leader Annamie Paul is facing a no-confidence motion that could ultimately oust her from her perch atop the party. She said, '“The anti-Semitism was not easy, and it still isn’t,” says Paul, 48, speaking from her home in midtown Toronto. “You never really get used to it. You’re aware it’s out there but you’re never fully prepared for it.” So, racism & discrimination charges coming... We should have a no-confidence motion from Canada for the party... Oh the nasty back stabbing greens. Isn’t it ironic.
