The recent court decision in Waterloo Region is letting a homeless encampment stand in the way of transit, homes and jobs that Ontario badly needs. It’s a ridiculous decision that I hope is swiftly overturned. If not, Ontario is prepared to use every tool at our disposal to move this project forward.

2006, Alberta premier Ralph Klein is endorsed by just 55 per cent of delegates, even though he’d previously announced his intention to retire in 2008. He resigns a few months later. A brief history of leadership reviews durhamregion.com/news/a-brie… via @newsdurham

I have no personal interest, other than as a life long Liberal. This was a leadership review and the result fell well below the standard for continuing leadership.

I think it should be pointed out to Team Nate that Bonnie Crombie won the leadership with 53% of the vote of the entire membership, and now has the confidence of 57% of delegates who paid to be there. #olp #OLPAGM #onpoli

John Tory (like Joe Clark) got only 66 per cent in his leadership review and even then it wasn't enough – his party wanted him gone. Not good omens for Bonnie Crombie. #onpoli

BREAKING: Ontario Liberals vote 57% against calling a new leadership - which means Bonnie Crombie is technically safe. However, hearing she wasn’t afforded an endorsement from the Liberal caucus as a whole. #onpoli
