Ontario Liberal Party: Reasoning and Explanation
In the 2025 election, Bonnie Abercrombie, the Liberal Party's candidate, faced off against Doug Ford, the incumbent Premier of Ontario. Abercrombie, who was previously the Mayor of Mississauga, had also been nominated as the Liberal candidate for the Mississauga Centre riding in the Ontario provincial election before resigning her position.
The election was marked by a heated debate over the implementation of a ranked ballot system, which guarantees that the winner has at least 50% support. However, the Tories, led by Ford, have been resistant to this change, even banning it in municipal elections. Some argue that this system would potentially lead to a more democratic outcome, but the Tories fear they would lose power under such a system.
Abercrombie's campaign faced criticism for her decision not to participate in by-elections, such as the one in Milton. Additionally, some questioned the generous stipend she received from the dwindling Party City while waiting to be employed as an MPP. Despite these criticisms, Abercrombie remained a strong contender, with some suggesting that another leader of the Liberal party might have done no better than Abercrombie in the last election.
On the other hand, Ford was known for his irreverent style in politics and for playing on Ontario voters' emotions during the campaign. The Liberal and NDP election platforms were considered mundane and boring in comparison to Ford's. In the end, Ford was re-elected with a majority government, while the Liberal Party did not win the election.
The NDP emerged as the clear alternative to Ford in the last election, becoming the main opposition, or government, in all the provinces west of Ontario. Notably, Abercrombie failed to win a seat in her own neighbourhood in the election.
Meanwhile, Ray Rivers, a Gazette Contributing Editor and a former candidate for provincial office in Burlington, has been a vocal advocate for sustainability. Rivers was the founder of the Burlington citizen committee on sustainability at a time when climate warming was a hotly debated subject. His work continues to contribute to the ongoing conversation about the importance of sustainability in politics.
In conclusion, the 2025 election was a significant event in Ontario politics, with the Liberal Party's candidate Bonnie Abercrombie facing off against Doug Ford. While Abercrombie put up a strong fight, it was Ford who was re-elected, marking another term for his controversial leadership. The NDP, on the other hand, emerged as a strong alternative, setting the stage for potential changes in the future.
