BONNIE CROMBIE TALKS ONTARIO LIBERALS AND PEEL REGION

Libby Znaimer is joined by Bonnie Crombie who has been in the headlines for two major reasons as of late.

The first reason being that Peel Region is set to dissolve by 2025 which will see Brampton, Mississauga and Caledon become independent. Mayor Brown says that Mississauga needs to pay up. And, how smoothly will the “divorce” go considering the different municipalities share key services like Peel Police and more? Meanwhile, in other big news, Bonnie is mulling a run for leadership of the Ontario Liberals and has launched an exploratory committee as a first step. She says that she is a centrist so how might that impact her ability to potentially lead the party down the line should she actually run and get elected.
