The only reason why the Canadian Green Party is on the electoral map in Canada is because of Elizabeth May. She put in the hard work and effort to take a fringe movement most people had never heard of and make it somewhat respectable.
The only problem is the Green Party and her became interchangeable. She was the Green Party and the Green Party was her. So when she announced that she would be stepping down as leader it was going to have a negative impact on the Party's standing among Canadians.
That means they had to elect a new leader who would be able to replicate what Ms. May had done and they would need to realize that it would not be easy or quick. Judging by the public statements of the new leader of the Green Party, over the last couple of days, it would appear that the Party did not elect the leader who understood that reality
