In light of the high-profile Justin Trudeau leading the Liberals, federal New Democrats are launching a campaign to counter his popularity by getting their own leader better known. Halifax MP Megan Leslie admits Tom Mulcair is somewhat of an unknown but he will be hitting the road in the coming months so people can see what party insiders already know about him.
Leslie says the objective is to emphasize the human-side of Tom Mulcair, who's been leader of the federal NDP and Opposition Leader since 2012. Mulcair is likely to make a swing through the Maritimes this summer.
