Green Party Leader Annamie Paul still hasn’t officially resigned.
Now her party is again trying to force her out. It’s the latest development in the bitter and drawn-out power struggle that erupted inside the party over the past year. torstar.co/QQXe50GA4UZ
Two senior sources inside the Green party said negotiations between party lawyers and Paul’s legal team — which started soon after Paul announced she would resign as Green leader on Sept. 27 — are facing obstacles that are “entirely financial.” thestar.com/politics/feder…
The sources said the talks are playing out as the federal Green party wrestles with a “dire” financial situation that saw 11 staff members — almost half the organization’s remaining employees — laid off last week. thestar.com/politics/feder…
Party spokesperson John Chenery said Paul is declining interviews at this time and that her “resignation as Leader is not yet official.” thestar.com/politics/feder…
The party has officially started its formal leadership review process and sent electronic ballots to Green members on Tuesday asking whether they “endorse” Paul as leader. thestar.com/politics/feder…
Yet despite her announced intention to resign, Paul remains in her role as leader and continues to attend meetings of the federal council. thestar.com/politics/feder…

It was a small start-up with just seven-figure revenue that was suddenly worth an eye-popping $5.7 billion.
“To put it nicely, it was definitely oversold,” said one former TraceSCAN salesperson. He paused and laughed. “Even by me, to be honest.” thestar.com/business/2021/…
In the eight months since that grant, Facedrive has undergone something of a public collapse.
Its stock, traded on the TSX venture exchange, has fallen more than 98 per cent, from a high of $60/share in February to less than a dollar in late October. thestar.com/business/2021/…
