ADAMS: Why My AGM Ballot Matters, Even if Bonnie Crombie Disagrees
Meeting Bonnie Crombie showed me why her approach won't work for the province's future—and why it's time we try something new.

A couple weeks ago, I found myself at Pickering City Centre helping the Durham Liberal team set up for an Ontario Liberal Party event. It was a pretty standard political gathering: the banners were going up, people were milling around, and I was doing what I always do at these things: socializing, getting a feel for the room, waiting to see how it all played out.
Then Bonnie Crombie showed up.
Now, here's the thing: I'd already formed an opinion of Crombie months before this event. My first impression of her came during the provincial leaders' debate.
