BREAKING: Green Party Leader Mike Schreiner says he is thinking about running to lead the Ontario Liberal Party.
Over the last few months Schreiner—who was the first Green Party MPP to be elected in Ontario in 2018—has been combatting rumours that he will run for leadership of the opposing party.“Yesterday I received a serious letter from people who expressed concerns I share about the current government and the need for urgent action on the climate crisis. They have reached out across party lines in a unique way in the spirit of doing politics differently,” Schreiner said.
Forty Liberals wrote a letter to Schreiner over the weekend in which they take an “unprecedented step to reach outside our ranks” in an effort to find a leader. “Our party needs to rediscover a politics of purpose and principle. We need to reach out to a new generation of voters. We need to open up to new people and new ideas and to embrace the kind of energy and enthusiasm that is driving grassroots activism and engagement across the province,” the letter reads.The Ontario Liberal Party has been without a permanent leader since its devastating loss during the June 2022 elections.
The Liberals are taking their time to find the right person, they said, and are set to launch consultations on the leadership election process shortly.
