BURLINGTON, ON
“If a seat presented itself that was logical, of course I would seek that seat,” Bonnie Crombie told Newstalk 1010 radio.
It hasn’t been announced yet – but expect to see Bonnie Crombie sitting in the Legislature making life difficult for Premier Doug Ford.
Which means we can expect to see her in the Legislature in the not too distant future. Which of the nine Liberal MPPs will give up their seat for Crombie shouldn’t be that hard to figure out. Crombie is also reported to have said: “a local Liberal candidate has been selected.”
The Premier has a period of time within which he has to meet with the Lieutenant Governor and arrange to have a by- election held.
The by election lasts 28 days.
Could she be in the provincial Legislature by Easter?
Since the Liberals don’t have party status in the legislature, I doubt that as an individual MPP she will get much time to challenge the Premier let alone make his life difficult. The NDP is the official opposition party.
