Trudeau Mulcair and Tom Mulcair

Tom Mulcair: NDP Leader Tom Mulcair will learn it is often easier to claw your way to the top of the political heap than it is to stay there, according to The Chronicle Herald. If by Labour Day, the two have settled into a familiar pattern of splitting the anti-Harper, so-called progressive vote, that equilibrium will likely lead to the re-election of the Conservatives. Liberal Leader Justin Trudeau is about to discover how difficult it can be to regain political momentum once you’ve lost it. So, the real summer skirmish for political-watchers will be between Trudeau and Mulcair. How he handles that scrutiny — from the media, from the voters and from his political opponents — will be key. Right now, Mulcair is making a far more compelling case as the real threat to Harper, but with that status comes increased scrutiny. (www.immigrantscanada.com). As reported in the news.
