Bonnie Crombie steps down as Liberal party leader
September 15, 2025
On this day, the political landscape of Ontario took a significant turn with the resignation of Bonnie Crombie as the leader of the Ontario Liberal Party. The Leadership Review Convention, held in Burlington, ON, saw Crombie garnering 57% of the vote, falling short of the necessary majority to secure her position.
Crombie, who served as the Mayor of Mississauga for a decade, was deemed unelectable at any level other than the mayoral position. Her departure from the leadership role opens up an opportunity for a fresh face to emerge, potentially challenging the current government led by Premier Doug Ford.
The provincial Liberals have now initiated the process of naming a new leader. The political landscape in Ontario may shift with this election, making it more competitive and potentially challenging for the current government.
The new Liberal leader may come from names within the party that currently have a low public profile. As the process unfolds, these individuals may gain a higher public profile, shaping the direction of the Ontario Liberal Party.
It is suggested that had Crombie remained as Liberal Leader, Premier Ford would have had an "easy ride" for the next couple of years. However, with the election of a new leader, the political environment in Ontario could become more dynamic and unpredictable.
The search results do not provide information about the identity of the new leader. Bonnie Crombie's future plans remain unknown, and there is no indication of her intentions post-resignation.
This development in Ontario politics is an opinion piece by Pepper Parr. The election of a new Liberal leader could mark a turning point in the province's political landscape, with the potential to pose a challenge to Premier Doug Ford. The political scene in Ontario is poised for an exciting period of change.
