An excellent closing statement from Stephanie Bowman! My favourite part:
"We won't win by only making speeches about our values or what we believe....We will win with a leader who speaks clearly about our problems and the solutions to them, someone Doug Ford has never had to face before: A leader with proven, credible economic experience and a serious plan to deliver."

If you know about the Liberal Party in Ontario, then you know that this is a very important endorsement! #onpoli
I am honoured to have the support of Judi Longfield!
A former MP, longtime Liberal organizer, and former Executive Director of the Liberal Party of Canada (Ontario), Judi knows what it takes to win. She also co-managed Dalton McGuinty's successful leadership campaign.
Judi understands that winning a leadership race is only the beginning. Our next Leader must earn the trust of Ontarians, bring credibility on the economy, rebuild our party and build the coalition needed to form government.
I am proud to have her support as we work to do just that.
The only province with a slower growth rate than Ontario is Quebec. More evidence that Doug Ford is failing Ontarians. #onpoli
Statistics Canada released the provincial economic accounts for provinces this morning!! Newfoundland and Labrador led the country at +4.3% growth last year, followed by PEI and AB. www150.statcan.gc.ca/n1/dail… #cdnecon

What is Vincent's goal here? With all of the problems facing Canada, he wastes his time berating a public official about semantics. Apparently, if a person is pregnant but does not want to be called a woman, he thinks that is a "problem" for the government to "solve". Very disappointing. #cdnpoli
"A pregnant person is a person who is pregnant."
That's the answer the Liberal-appointed head of the PUBLIC HEALTH AGENCY OF CANADA gave when asked to define a term used in her own agency's taxpayer-funded guidance on pregnancy.
When pressed to explain how that differs medically from a pregnant woman, she couldn't give a clear answer.
Our own Public Health Agency can't even clearly define the language it publishes in its public health guidance...or tell Canadians whether a man can get pregnant.
This is what happens when Liberal identity politics take priority over clear communication about biological reality.

I thoroughly enjoyed the Ontario Liberal leadership debate on @tvo last night. Why? Not just because @spaikin moderated. The best part was that @stephaniebowman did exactly what she needed to do!
1) Stephanie was confident and clear. You could not watch that debate without hearing and understanding her message.
2) When Stephanie said the ballot question is the economy, she set the tone for everybody and the conversation barely shifted.
3) Stephanie was engaging and stood up for herself. Nobody laid a finger on her and she didn’t need the moderator to make room for her to speak. That’s what we need against Doug Ford.
4) Stephanie clearly stated that she is opposed to tax increases. That was what the media reported from the debate. Others might regret their responses.
5) Stephanie had the best line: “It turns out bankers make pretty good political leaders.”
6) She also got the last line: “When I’m leader, I hope they’re all on my team.”
We are now 16 days away from learning who the next Ontario Liberal leader will be. Last night, Stephanie Bowman showed why she should be the next leader of the Ontario Liberal Party. Make sure you put her first on your ballot. #onpoli

How would this play during an election? #onpoli
“But they differed on whether they would raise taxes.
Fairclough has committed to tax reforms including how best to increase the tax base for municipalities while Marando would do away with personal income taxes for young workers earning less than $50,000, but mused about taxing big businesses more.
Both Bowman and Bains say they would not raise taxes given the province is in an affordability crisis and has been for years.”

I was in a room full of Stephanie Bowman supporters, and we cheered many times. What a great debate by Stephanie! #onpoli
“Turns out bankers make pretty good political leaders” - @stephaniebowman #onpoli
It’s a great night for US democracy, but remember that it took 10 years, a foreign war and a 75% increase in gas prices for Americans to finally get past MAGA (I hope).
I’m calling Texas for the Democrats. No way, the Republicans get 3/4 of the remaining votes to count.
Let’s fix this headline: “Premier Ford talking about anything other than the private college OSAP scandal” #onpoli
Premier Doug Ford is urging Prime Minister Mark Carney not to rush into a trade deal with embattled U.S. President Donald Trump. thestar.com/politics/provinc…
Doug Ford claims to protect Ontario, but he’s spent only 3% of the money he’s set aside to do that. In fact, he’s spent more on commercials telling us that he will protect Ontario! What a joke. #onpoli
Doug Ford talks tough about protecting Ontario’s economy, but workers and businesses hit by tariffs aren’t feeling it. His $5 billion plan, announced in May of last year, has delivered just $140 million.
Ford has abandoned economic leadership. Ontario needs a real economic plan and a leader who delivers. I’m that leader.

Why was Stevens no longer welcome by Abdul El-Sayed? Don’t blame the person who’s been kicked off the campaign - blame the candidate who’s trying to shrink the Democratic base of support. The best political campaigns are those that broaden the tent.
This is damning. The government received over 220 tips over the last 2.5 years, but did nothing. “At Academy of Learning’s North York campus, 3,460 OSAP applications for 2025-26 – approximately 57 per cent of the total – were submitted from a single IP address.” #onpoli
The Brewers deserved it. Way to go! (This post-season may be the most non-Blue Jays baseball I’ve watched in my life.)
This is what an Ontario Liberal leader with economic credentials will mean. It’s the end of Doug Ford’s free ride on economic management. Take that away, and what does he have left? #onpoli
If you want to know real results for the Israeli election and not just exit polls, this seems to be it.
