"Bonnie Crombie is out as Ontario Liberal Leader after scoring a weak mandate in a leadership review, as insiders and experts say the party will now continue a difficult rebuild while once again beginning the fractious process of choosing a new party chief. Crombie resigned after receiving 57 per cent support in the mandatory review of delegates at a party gathering in Toronto."
"A three-member committee dissected the party's finish, lauding the improved seat count and work to re-gain official party status. But they also criticized multiple aspects of the campaign team's strategy and communications, including the decision to focus on health care as the central theme of their platform and allowing Ford to frame the vote as a fight with U.S. President Donald Trump over his tariff policies."
Bonnie Crombie resigned as Ontario Liberal leader after receiving 57 per cent support in a mandatory delegate review at a Toronto party gathering. The resignation follows a snap provincial election in which the Liberals finished third in seat count while Doug Ford won a majority. Crombie initially signalled she would stay but stepped down after meeting the party executive and said an orderly transition toward a leadership vote would best serve the party. Internal divisions and calls from former rivals intensified, and a campaign debrief criticized strategy and communications, including a health-care focus and allowing Ford to frame the vote around U.S. tariff disputes.
