OTTAWA The turmoil, infighting and conflict plaguing the Green Party started just days after Annamie Paul was elected leader, CTV News has learned. Green Party sources say Paul and the party clashed over her expected salary. CTV News has agreed not to disclose their identities, because they were not authorized to speak to media. Paul asked for “significantly” more compensation than the party paid former leader Elizabeth May, according to sources. May received a salary top-up from the Green Party in addition to her salary as a member of Parliament. Sources say the unelected Paul wanted to be paid about the same as an MP.
The chairman of the Green Party said that the ultimatum to Annamy Paul has not yet been answered, which put her work in a difficult situation
The head of the Green Party management agency said that the ultimatum to the leader Annami Paul is still valid, and her work is in a state of uncertainty due to the continuing internal fighting that has caused tensions among the party’s top leaders.
Liana Cusmano, the interim chairman of the party’s Federal Council, said in an interview that a motion passed by the agency two weeks ago required Paul to deny that the former adviser’s remarks about anti-Semitism were still valid.

The defiant
words at a news conference Wednesday came after Paul survived another day of party strife when a move to push her out shifted course on Tuesday night, leaving her with a tenuous grip on power ahead of a likely federal election this year.
