But it gets stranger … Ontario Liberals, NDP should mull merger, former finance minister says
As Ontario Liberals look to rebuild after their devastating result in last week’s provincial election, former finance minister Greg Sorbara says it’s time to consider what he admits is a “pie-in-the-sky” idea: merging his party with the province’s NDP.
Many members of the two parties have denounced the concept after a campaign in which they aimed political attacks at each other. In an interview, Mr. Sorbara, who was finance minister from 2003 to 2007, when Dalton McGuinty was Liberal premier, acknowledged such a merger is unlikely.
