‘Never say never’: NDP MPs Kwan and McPherson won’t rule out leadership bids, but say that’s not the focus right now

With the fewest seats ever won, the NDP is destined for a leadership race—something some political players say presents a chance for the party to reposition itself after a devastating election defeat.

NDP MPs Jenny Kwan, left, and Heather McPherson will be returning to Parliament alongside five others in the shrunken New Democrat caucus. Kwan says the party will continue to fight for Canadians in Parliament 'no matter our number.' The Hill Times photographs by Andrew Meade

How can Trump and Putin negotiate a deal on Ukraine without Ukraine?

OpinionBY SHEILA COPPS
  • Trump is truly delusional enough to believe he could end the war in a single day. He has repeated that enough times. But in reality, if he sells out Ukraine and rewards Russia with a land deal derived from illegal attacks on another country, he will be setting the stage for a larger war.
