The party isn't running nominees in over 100 ridings, and Green Party Co-Leader Jonathan Pedneault told Radio-Canada last week that some of this was deliberate. He said his party made a "strategic decision" not to run candidates in ridings where they think Conservatives would likely win

Pedneault told CBC News that some candidates and volunteers "faced intimidation" from constituents, which contributed to the party's candidate shortage.
