Finally!
Bonnie Crombie has — officially — quit her job as leader of Ontario’s Liberal party.
After careful reflection, I have made the decision to step aside as leader of the Ontario Liberal Party.
After a lacklustre showing at a mandatory leadership vote last September, Crombie said she would step aside and as of noon on Wednesday, that time has come.
“After careful reflection, I have made the decision to step aside as leader of the Ontario Liberal Party,” Crombie said in a news release. “As we begin a new year, I believe this is the right moment for me and for the party, to move forward. I am incredibly proud of the work we have done together to rebuild and renew our party. I am thankful to our members, volunteers, caucus, and supporters across Ontario.”
