Green Leader Mike Schreiner wants to hear what “people across Ontario think” before he considers crossing the floor to the Liberals to run for their leadership.
Despite reiterating he has “no ambition to lead any party other than the Ontario Green Party,” Schreiner on Monday said he needs “time” to ponder a controversial proposal from some veteran Liberals.on Saturday, 40 Liberals — including prominent former cabinet ministers Greg Sorbara and Deb Matthews — wrote a public letter urging him to defect and enter their undeclared leadership contest.
“They have reached out across party lines in a unique way in the spirit of doing politics differently. So, I’m going to ask people to give me time to think about their arguments,” he said. Even though Schreiner had maintained he wasn’t interested, proponents believed the gambit would pay off and have launched an online campaign to collect more signatures.
In a social media video, Erskine-Smith said the Liberals “need purpose and principle in our politics.” “He has been meeting with as many grassroots Liberals across Ontario to talk about how we build a stronger party moving forward and defeat Doug Ford in 2026.”
