Canada’s Official Opposition NDP party made history when it won Official Opposition party status in the election of 2011. Now it and leader Thomas Mulcair hope to be elected to govern in this year’s federal election, expected to be called by October.
However, the ruling Conservatives of Prime Minister Stephen Harper continue to be strong in public opinion polls, and the opposition Liberal party and its leader Justin Trudeau are now more popular than the NDP.
On Thursday (January 15), Mulcair and his caucus of NDP Members of Parliament started a two-day strategy session to prepare for the election.
