OPINION
Bonnie Crombie resigned the leadership of the Ontario Liberal Party after garnering 57% of the vote at the Leadership Review Convention.
While Crombie served as a successful Mayor of Mississauga for ten years, she turned out to be unelectable at any other level.
To her credit, she did the right thing.
The provincial Liberals will now go through the process of naming a new leader.
There are names out there that don’t, at this point, have much in the way of a public profile.
That will change.
Had Crombie remained as Liberal Leader Ford knew he had an easy ride for the next couple of years.
That may prove to be different when there is a new Liberal leader for the province.
Why she ever gave up a great job as Mayor of Mississauga the 7 th largest city in Canada was beyond me.
