Bonnie Crombie Loses Bid for Seat, Vows to Stay as Liberal Leader

 

In a surprising turn of events, Ontario Liberal Leader Bonnie Crombie lost her bid for a seat in the Mississauga East-Cooksville riding. Despite her efforts to flip Peel Region seats from PC blue to Liberal red, Crombie was defeated by her PC opponent, Silvia Gualtieri. 

The night started off rough for Crombie and the Liberals, with one TV station calling the election for the PCs within minutes of polls closing. However, Crombie remains determined to stay on as the Liberal leader and continue her political journey. 

While Crombie faced defeat, other party leaders, including Ontario NDP Leader Marit Stiles and Green Party Leader Mike Schreiner, successfully reclaimed their seats. 

Crombie's loss marks a significant moment in Ontario politics, as she vows to keep fighting for her party and constituents.
