"Bonnie Crombie's political future will be in the hands of Ontario Liberals this weekend, as she faces a mandatory leadership review to determine if she'll stay on as head of the provincial party. The vote comes six months after the Liberals placed third in seat count in last February's snap election and triggered internal frustration at the way Crombie's team ran the party's campaign."
"Doug Ford's Progressive Conservatives called a snap election earlier this year and won a third-straight majority government. Crombie's Liberals came second in the popular vote, winning nearly 30 per cent support. That translated to winning 14 seats and helped the party secure official party status along with millions in resources for the first time since 2018. But the Liberals remain the third place party in the legislature despite their improved vote share."
"Crombie failed to win her own seat in Mississauga where she once served as mayor, leaving her outside of the house and its debates.

Bonnie Crombie faces a mandatory leadership review this weekend to determine whether she will remain leader of the Ontario Liberal Party. The vote follows a snap election six months ago in which Liberals placed third in seat count and internal frustration emerged over campaign management. Crombie toured the province this summer meeting members and collecting feedback on election wins and misses. Under party rules she needs over 50 per cent support to stay, while a faction called New Leaf Liberals wants a 66 per cent threshold. Crombie says she is extremely confident. The Liberals won nearly 30 per cent of the popular vote and 14 seats but remain third in the legislature; Crombie failed to win her Mississauga seat.
