Sorbara out
This had been a long time coming, I’d been told.
There were several campaign managers but no single campaign strategy. There were other problems, too.
Credit where credit is due: Pat was the one who knew how to take advantage of the PC’s self-immolating 100,000 job cuts promise in 2014. She knew a gift when she saw one.
Anyway: Chad Walsh. Know that name. If the Grits win again, he’ll be a big part of the reason why.
BREAKING-Patricia Sorbara is off the Ontario Liberal Party 2018 campaign amid resignations & threats of resignation among team members. Sorbara led Libs to overwhelming victory in '14. Premier Wynne to CTV News "I will continue to count on her personal friendship." #onpoli

So, were the resignations and threats of resignations because Sorbara was still part of the campaign and Wynne dumped her to try and prevent more resignations, or were the resignations and threats of resignations because Wynne dumped Sorbara?
Interesting. Although so far from what I’ve seen from Patrick Brown he seems much more disciplined than Hudak. The Liberals have tried to bait him several times and each time he refused to take the bait. By contrast you didn’t need to bait Hudak, you just needed to give him a microphone and he would shoot himself in the foot. Not saying the PCs have it in the bag, far from it; but the Liberals have a much tougher opponent this time around than they did last time around.
Warren,
Many, like yourself, believe that loyalty is a two-way street.
