Provincial NDP Leader Will Monitor Ukraine Election

40 thousand Russian soldiers are moving back to their home bases from the border regions with the Ukraine. This is being perceived as Russian President Vladimir Putin trying to ease tensions with the West over Ukraine. 

Meantime, Provincial NDP leader Dominic Cardy has been selected to be one of the many monitors for the upcoming election in the Ukraine to determine it's conducted fairly or not. 

Cardy has had experience as an election observer in Egypt, Pakistan, Bangladash and Cambodia.
