Former MPs launch volunteer effort to renew NDP ahead of leadership race

Two former New Democrat MPs who lost their seats in the April election are launching a project to renew the party ahead of its March convention. Peter Julian and Matthew Green say their volunteer group is hoping to engage with party members across the country after the party's crushing election loss.

The party is set to choose its next leader at the convention in Winnipeg. Julian and Green say the NDP can't afford to wait six months to begin an eng

New BC Green leader Lowan says province must create sustainable funding for cities
