"Stiles told CBC News recently that in the months after the vote she has spent more time travelling the province. She's not just reaching out to her own party faithful, but also trying to connect with people who feel disengaged from politics, she said. I've been out there on the road, all across the province, and not just meeting with members, she said."
"Both Ontario's New Democrats and Liberals suffered serious setbacks in 2025 after losing a snap election to Premier Doug Ford's Progressive Conservatives. The consequences of that defeat have reverberated in both parties as grassroots members made their dissatisfaction apparent in leadership review votes. In September, NDP delegates gave Official Opposition Leader Marit Stiles a tepid endorsement of 68 per cent in a vote, a disappointing result that saw her shake up her circle of close advisors."
Premier Doug Ford won a snap February 2025 election, securing a third straight majority for the Progressive Conservatives. Both the New Democrats and Liberals suffered setbacks: the NDP retained Official Opposition status but saw reduced popular support, while the Liberals finished second in popular vote, added four seats and remained third in seat count. Grassroots dissatisfaction produced weak leadership review results: NDP leader Marit Stiles received 68 per cent support and reorganized advisors, and former Liberal leader Bonnie Crombie announced her resignation after receiving 57 per cent support. Stiles has travelled the province to reconnect with disengaged voters and party members.
