Danger lurks in Premier Doug Ford’s plan to move more surgeries out of hospitals and into private clinics, interim Liberal Leader John Fraser says as 1,500 activists gather to chart a course for the party’s leadership race.
Many delegates to the weekend convention arrived in a snowstorm Friday and vote Saturday on moving to a one-member, one-vote system for electing a new leader in the wake of last June’s defeat at the hands of Ford’s Conservatives, which prompted then-Liberal leader Steven Del Duca to resign on election night. .
Hoping to get back to official party status after Ford’s 2018 landslide that ended 15 years of Liberal power, the party won eight seats — four shy of the 12 needed for about $2 million in additional funding as a recognized political party. Several potential leadership candidates are jockeying for support at the convention, although a date for a leadership vote will not be set until this spring.
