New Democrat MP Peter Julian launches leadership bid
OTTAWA — The race to replace Tom Mulcair kicked off Sunday, with a British Columbia MP becoming the first to officially announce his candidacy for the federal NDP leadership.
Peter Julian made the announcement at a theatre in his riding of New Westminster, B.C.
“My vision is for a country where everyone matters and no one is left behind,” he told supporters.
Julian, who was first elected to Parliament in 2004, said Canadians need a government that prioritizes inclusivity, clean energy, and education for all.
