The frontrunner in the race to the Ontario Liberal party leader is making her way through southwestern Ontario this weekend.
Bonnie Crombie — the mayor of Mississauga and former Liberal MP — held campaign stops in London, Sarnia, and Windsor on Saturday.
“The Liberals are back,” Crombie told CTV News London.
Fresh off a pair of by-election wins, Crombie believes the party is gaining momentum, and is poised to defeat the Progressive Conservatives in the next election.
“I think I bring a lot of experience to the table,” said Crombie. “Let's be honest, I'm the one who has had to deal with the provincial government and the premier himself had to head on a number of occasions.”
She met with supporters at a private residence in north London and heard about some of the issues in the Forest City.
“People are concerned about the lack of GO train service and how it will be eliminated in the fall,” said Crombie. “I see the homelessness problem is quite acute here, the need for affordable housing, and the importance of health care in the health care system. London has always been known for the outstanding hospitals that are here and I know we need a redevelopment.”
