I welcome
@ShamjiAdil’s recent entry into the
@OntLiberal leadership race. Adil is an outstanding Ontarian and Canadian that has much to offer our party, province, and country.
I’m so pleased with the robust leadership race that we’re already seeing with such highly qualified candidates: a medical doctor, two lawyers-turned successful politicians, a whip-smart PhD scientist and former financial services executive, and a mayor of a major Canadian city that has won three straight elections by wide margins.
Five candidates. Three people of colour. One Millennial and one woman. The number — and quality — of candidates the party has attracted is remarkable, reflects modern Ontario, and stands in stark contrast to the Ontario NDP’s leadership coronation.
I’ve been clear that I strongly support
@BonnieCrombie in her bid for the leadership, but I also rest assured our party’s future is in excellent hands with this crop of candidates.
@OntLiberal has had no shortage of political disappointments in recent years, but one quality it doesn't lack is sheer resilience and a determination to rise again — and win.
