While the results for this riding are still coming in, regarding the Liberals already being declared elected as the ruling government tonight, Greenlaw wasn't too surprised.
"In my opinion, it’s the lesser of two evils, but it’s really frustrating to see how many people are trapped in these two-party mentalities," she said. "They just can’t see any other potential future when there are other people trying to advocate for a better outcome," she added.
"I’m not surprised that the Liberals have won. I mean, like a week ago, we knew it was a 77% chance they get a majority, but I am really hoping that they don’t get a majority," she added. "They probably will, because from what I’ve heard, all the small parties are being decimated, which is really problematic."
She added that throughout the campaign, one of her main takeaways was that there is "minimal difference between the Liberals and the Conservatives."
"The Liberals say a lot of pretty things, but in the end, they cut gender equity, they buy pipelines, they expand pipelines, and say, ‘Sorry, I don’t speak French.’ But it’s the same, it’s the same system; it’s corporate interest and it’s taking from the have-nots and giving to the have’s."
