Jagmeet Singh looks West to retake lost turf in B.C., but hurdles dot the path

When an election is called, the New Democrats will be looking to

take back lost territory in Western Canada and once again try to

convince voters to choose orange.

N-D-P leader Jagmeet Singh says the party is looking to expand

its turf in B-C's Lower Mainland as well as in more rural parts of

the province where it goes head-to-head with Tories.

Eleven of the New Democrats' 24 incumbent candidates are based in

B-C, a province where the Liberals are also counting on gains to win

back a majority in the House of Commons.
