The federal NDP race now has two contenders. After B.C. MP Peter Julian declared his intentions in late December, Timmins-James Bay MP Charlie Angus has now jumped into ring. Angus has represented the northern riding since 2004. During his launch he said Canada faces a real economic division. Angus says the federal Liberals lied to voters in the last election and says it`s time to elect someone ready to lead. Angus says the NDP can bring some hope for change back to Canada and adds the party can build a new progressive movement. The party`s leadership vote is this October.
