NDP leadership race expands with Charlie Angus entering the fold
OTTAWA — And then there were two.
Ontario MP Charlie Angus officially entered the NDP leadership race Sunday — a competition that’s expected to start heating up soon with a debate scheduled for next month in Ottawa.
In an interview with The Canadian Press, Angus said the New Democrat race will be about renewing the NDP — a party that is struggling to rebuild after being reduced to third-party status in a devastating election loss in 2015.
“If there is one thing I am going to commit to during this process, it’s to try and build that relationship of getting out, of meeting people, of getting people to re-engage,” he said.
