There’s a northern Ontario candidate for the leadership of the federal NDP.
Timmins-James Bay MP Charlie Angus has announced he’s running, saying our politics need less division and more compassion.
Angus has been an outspoken advocate in calling for Indigenous people to get better treatment, especially when it comes to the epidemic of suicides on northern reserves.
B.C. MP Peter Julian is also in the running to replace leader Tom Mulcair.
