Pedneault plans return as Green Party co-leader

Jonathan Pedneault has announced his intention to return as co-leader of the Green Party of Canada alongside Elizabeth May, following his resignation in July 2024 due to personal health issues. His decision to re-enter politics was influenced by the election of Donald Trump, which he described as a threat to values he holds dear. Pedneault, who has a background in human rights activism, believes the current political climate necessitates his involvement in Canadian politics. May expressed her support for his return and confidence in party members voting to affirm his co-leadership. Pedneault emphasized that he feels a responsibility to stand up for Canada in these challenging times. The party will hold a vote to confirm his co-leadership role soon.
