| | New party enters race for Ottawa Centre |
 | | We consider ourselves a progressive centrist party and we would embrace the nationalist vision of Sir John A. Macdonald and the idealism of Tommy Douglas, says Samuèls, a Toronto native and author with a background in interdisciplinary M.A. studies and Ph.D. studies in political science, multiculturalism and constitutional law at the University of Toronto. |
 | | Samuèls, the partys provisional interim leader, has been active in Canadian politics since the mid-1980s and has worked with both the Progressive Conservative and Liberal parties of Canada. |
 | | In August 2003, however, Samuèls joined forces with like-minded individuals to ponder the creation of a new alternative, and after pulling together over 200 signatures from across the country, the Cosmopolitan Party of Canada was born. |
