Elizabeth May says in all her years on Parliament Hill she has never seen anything like the last week in Canadian politics.

In a year-end interview with The Canadian Press, May 91裸聊视频� now in her 13th year as the B.C. MP for Saanich91裸聊视频擥ulf Islands 91裸聊视频� spoke about the bombshell events on Parliament Hill, the parliamentary stalemate that has paralyzed the House of Commons for months and her thoughts on the fate of Prime Minister Justin Trudeau91裸聊视频檚 Liberal leadership.

Ottawa was sent reeling last Monday as Chrystia Freeland resigned as finance minister, mere hours before she was scheduled to deliver the important fall economic statement in the House of Commons.

While the ongoing privilege debate isn91裸聊视频檛, in May91裸聊视频檚 view, necessarily unprecedented, Freeland91裸聊视频檚 resignation and the ensuing chaos in the House of Commons is something she says she has never witnessed before.

91裸聊视频淐hrystia Freeland91裸聊视频檚 resignation letter was the equivalent of pulling a pin out of a grenade, throwing it in the room, shutting the door,91裸聊视频� May said.

91裸聊视频淚t91裸聊视频檚, I think, quite plausibly the beginning of her campaign for Liberal leadership.91裸聊视频�

After House Speaker Greg Fergus paused the ongoing privilege debate to allow the fiscal update to be tabled, May said it was utter confusion in the House around what was supposed to happen next after Freeland91裸聊视频檚 resignation.

Government House Leader Karina Gould tabled the document, but since there was no speech to be read with it, there was no opportunity for parties to respond 91裸聊视频� even though many of them had already read it under embargo.

91裸聊视频淚 remember Ferris Bueller91裸聊视频檚 Day Off and that horrible teacher saying 91裸聊视频楢nyone? Anyone?91裸聊视频� I mean, Greg Fergus was really frozen in time,91裸聊视频� May said.

91裸聊视频淚t wasn91裸聊视频檛 at all clear that there was (going to be a presentation). And then Karina Gould deposited it, but didn91裸聊视频檛 speak to it. We91裸聊视频檝e never seen anything like that in parliamentary democracy in Canada.91裸聊视频�

Amid growing calls from his caucus to step down, Trudeau shuffled his cabinet on Friday, bringing in eight new ministers. Several members of his inner circle have said he is taking time to reflect on what he has heard and to determine his next steps.

While the Conservative, NDP and Bloc Qu茅b茅cois leaders have also come out calling on Trudeau to step down, May told The Canadian Press there are two ways to answer the question about his future: as a party leader, and as a Canadian.

91裸聊视频淚n the course of Canadian democracy, my job is to be leader of the Green Party of Canada, and I see that job as trying to be the grown-up in the room in any set of circumstances,91裸聊视频� May said, adding that Greens 91裸聊视频渄on91裸聊视频檛 take partisan cheap shots.91裸聊视频�

91裸聊视频淚f I were in his shoes, I would have stepped down a long time ago. But I91裸聊视频檓 not in his shoes. I91裸聊视频檓 not leader of the Liberal Party, and the Liberal Party91裸聊视频檚 fortunes in the next election aren91裸聊视频檛 my problem.91裸聊视频�

As a Canadian, May said in the face of looming tariff threats and unprecedented 91裸聊视频淐anada-bashing91裸聊视频� by incoming U.S. President Donald Trump, it91裸聊视频檚 important to show unity as a country.

91裸聊视频淔or myself, I think: It91裸聊视频檚 up to Justin Trudeau what he does, and it91裸聊视频檚 up to the Liberal Party what it does,91裸聊视频� May said.

91裸聊视频淚 don91裸聊视频檛 know what business it is of any of (the party leaders) to help the Liberal Party out by pointing out the obvious: Justin Trudeau isn91裸聊视频檛 a popular leader. You91裸聊视频檇 be better off without him. But that91裸聊视频檚 their business.91裸聊视频�

Reflecting on the ongoing privilege debate in the House of Commons, May said there is a potential resolution: the Liberals should turn over the documents.

At issue is a Conservative Party motion to press the Liberals to hand over documents relating to hundreds of millions of dollars of misspending on a green-tech fund to allow the RCMP to investigate the matter.

All parties have demanded the Liberals turn them over, but the Conservatives have effectively filibustered their own motion to make it happen 91裸聊视频� and prevented any other work from proceeding since privilege debates take precedence over almost all else.

91裸聊视频淭he house has requested the documentation. However many boxes there are of unredacted documents, however helpful or useless to law enforcement is irrelevant. The house has requested it. They should be turned over,91裸聊视频� May said, adding she would also support a motion to end debate.

On climate, May reiterated her support for the carbon tax saying it91裸聊视频檚 one policy the Liberals have implemented which has succeeded in reducing emissions in Canada. Though she says the pricing policy has been made unpopular by 91裸聊视频渟loganeering91裸聊视频� 91裸聊视频� in reference to Conservative Leader Pierre Poilievre91裸聊视频檚 91裸聊视频渁xe the tax91裸聊视频� refrain.

Still, May reiterated how Canada is the worst performer among G7 countries at living up to its climate commitments.

She pointed to a recent example of the government pushing its goal for a net-zero electricity grid to 2050 91裸聊视频� a move she called 91裸聊视频渋nexcusable.91裸聊视频�

May believes Trump will once again pull the United States out of the Paris climate agreement, as he did during his first presidency.

91裸聊视频淲hat Pierre Poilievre does, no one knows,91裸聊视频� May said.

91裸聊视频淏ecause they say they believe in climate change, and they believe in technology, not taxes, but that91裸聊视频檚 not a coherent plan either. Meanwhile, the world is moving, but too slowly.91裸聊视频�

As for her own party91裸聊视频檚 priorities, May said heading into an election year the goal is to make gains for the Greens, but also to improve voter turnout which has steadily declined since the Liberals won in 2015 from 68.3 per cent, down to 62.6 per cent in 2021.

91裸聊视频淭here91裸聊视频檚 a steady drumbeat of inevitability of assuming the polling numbers accurately predict what91裸聊视频檚 going to happen in an election,91裸聊视频� May said, pointing to Doug Ford91裸聊视频檚 strong polling numbers in 2022 as a factor in Ontario91裸聊视频檚 historically low turnout in its last election.

91裸聊视频淭hat91裸聊视频檚 a huge worry for Canadian democracy. Particularly for young people who are the least likely to vote. So how do we turn that around for the people who have the most at stake 91裸聊视频� who are young people.91裸聊视频�
