Mississauga Mayor Bonnie Crombie is strongly considering entering the Ontario Liberal leadership race, a source close to the mayor told CTV News Toronto.
Crombie could be seen rubbing elbows with high-profile politicians and strategists at the Liberal National Convention in Ottawa over the weekend, prompting many to question whether she was gauging support for the provincial race.
At the time, Crombie—who was re-elected for a third term in October with more than 77 per cent of the vote—told reporters she is “entirely focused” on her responsibilities as Mississauga’s mayor. MP for Beaches-East York Nathaniel Erskine-Smith was the first person to commit to a bid, filing the paperwork Tuesday.
