Ford faces tariffs, while Crombie faces rumblings of discontent
None of the party leaders held a media availability the day after the election, but all are facing questions about what the results mean for their parties and what they must do next.
The possible imposition of tariffs would likely elicit some sort of response from Ford and the province, which, at minimum, could include pulling American alcohol from the shelves of the LCBO, which Ford previously indicated he would do.
But when it comes to the big question, the party is divided: some Liberals want to see Crombie replaced as leader, and others don’t, according to party members who posted about their views online. According to the Ontario Liberal Party constitution, Crombie will have to face a leadership review — but exactly when it will be has not yet been determined.
“Most of the party members that picked her thought that she could win,” that Liberal said, adding that if “that facade is gone,” it’s unlikely she has the organizational skills to heed off a leadership review. It also countered some of the rumblings of discontent by saying Crombie is getting credit for the party’s seat gains in the election.
