OTTAWA – The Green Party of Canada unequivocally denounces all forms of violence, including the appalling remarks made by Jayden Baldonado regarding the tragic events in Washington last night. These comments are completely unacceptable and violate the Party’s Code of Conduct.

The Green Party takes these allegations very seriously, and we are committed to upholding the values of respect and non-violence that define our Party. An internal investigation is currently underway to address this matter. Party efforts to reach Mr. Baldonado have been unsuccessful. We see that his account has been deleted. The Green Party’s position on violence and hatred is clear: we do not condone such rhetoric under any circumstances, and we will take appropriate action once the investigation is complete.

We remain focused on building a fairer, more inclusive society where such violence is never justified.
