Former MP Mike Morrice only Green Party of Canada leadership candidate after Nira Dookeran withdraws

In a statement Tuesday evening, Morrice said he had spoken to Dookeran and also thanked her.

"As we wait to hear from the party about the logistics of what comes next, our campaign continues as before, because the work continues as before: to grow the party, and in doing so, help build the movement needed to take on the billionaire class and fight for regular Canadians in the face of a worsening climate crisis," Morrice said.

Canadian parliamentarians' self-declared language abilities

I got the data for this map from the House of Commons website. When you click on each MP's profile there's a section that says "preferred language", which lists either English, French, or both (in either order). Whether these MPs are actually bilingual in practice is another story.

The second map is an extrapolation of the first. The red areas are ridings in Quebec whose MP is English-dominant (either only speaking English, or speaking both English and French but preferring English). They consist of five ridings on the Island of Montreal, one riding just off the island but in Greater Montreal (Vaudreuil), and one riding in the far North. The blue areas are ridings outside of Quebec whose MP is French-dominant. They consist of three ridings in New Brunswick, two ridings in Ottawa, one riding in the part of the southeastern Ontario between Ottawa and Montreal, one riding in northern Ontario, and Saint Boniface in Winnipeg. Again, this is all self-declared.

Is electoral reform still Avi Lewis' top priority?

During his leadership campaign, Avi Lewis repeatedly signaled that electoral reform would be his top priority. During one interview he stated:

>"We don’t go in with a menu of demands or a list of things to negotiate. One demand, proportional representation, that’s the only one."
