“This election must be a choice between the liberals and the conservatives” : The new Democratic Party (NPD) expected to be supported by its former chief; On the contrary, he was entitled to an admission of failure on his part. In a column published on the Bloomberg agency website, on March 27, Thomas Mulcair flayed the left -wing formation which he led from 2012 to 2017. A party incapable, according to him, to exist in the campaign for the Canadian Federal on Monday, April 28. “If you cannot seriously say that you are going to form a government capable of facing Trump, then get apart and let the only real contenders take care of it”, wrote the former deputy.
