In that email, which was obtained by the Star and is addressed to top ranking officials in the party, Harris argues that federal council should remove Paul as leader.

Harris declined to comment on “internal Green party issues” when the Star contacted him this week, but stressed that he is not a member of the party’s federal council himself.

According to three sources with knowledge of party affairs, the motion to revoke the funding was placed on the Green party’s federal council agenda on June 29, but the governing body has not yet voted on it.

Warning: Details into residential schools

Around 160 unmarked graves found at a B.C. residential school, the Penelakut Tribe says. Sexual abuse, suicides and an escape that led to drowning by students have also been recorded there.

Penelakut Island is 557 hectares of land surrounded by water. Two sisters sent to live at the former residential school on the island attempted to escape in 1959 by swimming, they drowned.
