The GPO, like many Green parties worldwide, requires gender balance? by appointing a separate male and female to some posts. This has received some extreme criticism, e.g. from Beth McKinnon who quit the GPO over this, possibly knowing herself to be unfit for any post more serious than calling up dumbkopfs, and afraid of the pressure of any better job. McKinnon's priority in the Green Party of Canada is to attend and disrupt one particular federal electoral district?'s meetings.

Wise figures within the party were focusing on the Ontario electoral reform referendum, 2007-10-04, ignoring the GPO's 2007 chances as irrelevant and by no means significant compared to its chances in the Ontario general election, 2011? should any electoral reform actually be achieved.

Despite vowing to push for the referendum to be held earlier, in parallel with the Ontario municipal elections, 2006, and campaigning for GPO President on that plank copied from opponent Hayley Easto, former President Judy Greenwood-Speers totally failed to publicize that goal. Former advocate Rob Newman did not advocate the earlier date when he had appeared before the Ontario Democratic Renewal Secretariat. Newman and Greenwood Speers pursued instead an agenda of political purge?s, notably against GPO Operations Coordinator Dan King. Also participating in this was Ron Yurick, the present GPO President and author of the GPO constitution. His document did nothing to address any of the issues relevant to the next GPO constitution. Accordingly, should any electoral reform be achieved in 2007, the entire constitution would have to go, and be replaced by one written by someone who is at least rational and has a sense of priorities.

Yurick's present top priority is the GPO travel pool? by which he, from Northern Ontario?, can actually attend meetings.

Yurick is considered a moron by informed observers.
