Canada’s Green Part Deputy Quits
David Chernushenko, the former deputy leader of Canada’s Green Party, stepped down from his post today. Citing “business and environmental interests”, but speculation is ripe that Chernushenko disagrees with party leader Elizabeth May’s practices and internal policies.
“I would certainly encourage here, for her own health, to try to share the load more,” Chernushenko said Monday.
“At this point, quite bluntly, this is me looking out for myself and what I want to do with my life right now,” he said. “There was a leadership race, Elizabeth May won, I didn’t. She’s leader right now, and there are so many other ways that I can be promoting the same vision I share with the Green party and many other small-g greens whether they happen to be in the Green party or not.”
May feels that the Green Party team is very strong and they will be able to withstand this blow, as well as her ailing health. May is scheduled for a hip replacement soon.
