Green party Leader Annamie Paul is calling on the government to pass legislation proposed by Elections Canada on holding safe balloting before carrying on with byelections in two Toronto ridings.

Paul said in a statement Tuesday the federal government should follow Elections Canada's proposal to help the agency administer an accessible, safe and secure election during the pandemic.

Trudeau said Friday that he won't, because the residents of those ridings deserve representation in the House of Commons and the situation could get worse if there's a delay. "Two of Toronto's COVID-19 hot zones are in Toronto Centre," she said. "In some of the low-income, racialized neighbourhoods in the riding, more than seven per cent of residents are infected with COVID-19."

How come the PC/Liberal/NDP are not saying anything and she is the only one.

A new law or new reg?

'New law required to ensure safety' Sigh. Literally the first words out of her mouth as GPC leader. That's how every tyrant justifies every new self-serving, oppressive law they want to foist on the public. It won't stop here if the Greens ever take pow... wait, never mind.

This hysteria is madness This virus has a 99.965 survival rate. There is no reason for any closures. Masks are causing neurological damage to our children’s brains. When pensions and markets collapse - then what old people? Secure the old and vulnerable Enough

Until I hear her call for further investigation into WE and condemn the Trudeau governments corruption she has as little credibility as the rest of the self serving ideologues

Who votes for these loons?

Safest election procedure, don't vote Green
