Susan Delacourt: Elizabeth May´s honeymoon could be just beginning
(The Star Books)
 


Elizabeth May’s marriage on Monday may be the start of an extended political honeymoon for her Green Party — starting in Prince Edward Island on Tuesday and quite possibly in Canada at large later this year. All signs currently point to this being a very good week for May and the Greens, part of a long-building, upward trend in their fortunes that could well keep climbing until the fall federal election. Personally, things are definitely looking up for May, too. May wed John Kidder on Monday in Victoria, the date deliberately chosen to coincide with Earth Day. It was billed as a “low-carbon” affair, but not it was not low-key. In what she said was one of her last tweets before the ceremony, May gave the marriage this hashtag: #mybigfatgreenwedding. The Green leader has earned the expansive attitude she may be feeling right now. After many years being single, even deciding she didn’t have time to meet men in her crazy busy schedule, May started dating Kidder last September and was engaged before Christmas. The political gains being made by the Greens have come about more slowly and steadily. Greens have held the balance of power in British Columbia for two years now. Last June, the Greens elected their first MPP in Ontario — Leader Mike Schreiner, who represents Guelph at Queen’s Park. In this year’s federal byelection in Outremont, Greens finished surprisingly in third place, ahead of the Bloc Québécois and the Conservative party. On Tuesday, Canada’s smallest province could give the Greens their biggest achievement in this country: real, actual power. A new poll projection by 338Canada.com over the weekend cautiously forecast a majority win for the Greens, which would make PEI the first Green-led government in Canadian history.Read more:‘Green Wave’ in Vancouver and Burnaby is part of a national movement, says party leaderElizabeth May’s wedding dress is a ‘walk through a ga ...
