Doug Ford must be defeated at the next election. We are convinced that the best path to victory against Doug Ford is through a leadership race that attracts a wide range of candidates, helps retain our existing members while gaining new ones, and demonstrates our firm commitment to electing a Liberal government.

Question 4

Is this mainly about the confidence vote on Bonnie Crombie's leadership?

Accepted Answer

We are committed to rebuilding the Ontario Liberal Party, regardless of what happens in September, to defeat Doug Ford. In our view, this means more active and strong PLAs, the inclusion of new voices within the executive council, and candidates equipped with the best possible tools. We believe that a change at the top of the party will allow us to achieve these goals. Regardless of the outcome of the confidence vote, we will continue to advocate for the best possible version of our party, because what matters is forming the next provincial government.
