After her win, Crombie was asked about the Liberals's prospects in Peel Region, which is currently dominated by the PCs.</p><p>"I fully intend to take all seats in Peel Region," Crombie said.</p><p dir="ltr">Crombie does not have a seat at Queen's Park. She said she would consider running for MPP in Lambton-Kent-Middlesex — the seat vacated by former labour minister <a href="https://www.cbc.ca/news/canada/toronto/monte-mcnaughton-resignation-1.6975088">Monte McNaughton in September</a> — but wouldn't commit to putting her name on the ballot. Ideally, she said, she would run in Mississauga.</p><p dir="ltr">Crombie said she would likely step down as Mississauga's mayor in the new year.</p><p dir="ltr">Crombie, as Mississauga mayor, has been a vocal opponent of Ford's changes to how municipalities collect certain fees from developers that help the cities fund infrastructure — the Association of Municipalities of Ontario has said the move shortchanged municipalities by $5 billion — and has pushed hard for the dissolution of Peel Region where her Toronto-area city is located.</p><p dir="ltr">In her victory speech, Crombie thanked the late Mississauga mayor Hazel McCallion, her mentor, for teaching her the importance of being a good listener and sound financial manager. </p><h2 dir="ltr">Ford government already on the attack, NDP congratulatory</h2><p dir="ltr">Ford's Progressive Conservatives published an attack ad on social media minutes after Crombie was elected leader. </p><p dir="ltr">"Bonnie and the Liberals just don't get it…They'll cost you," reads an image of Crombie the conservatives shared on X, formerly known as Twitter.</p><div dir="ltr"><blockquote class="twitter-tweet" lang="en"><p>Let's meet the Ontario Liberals' latest leader, Bonnie Crombie. 👇<br><br>Bonnie Crombie and the Ontario Liberals just don't get it.
