In 2022, the PCs completed a sweep of every suburban riding around the city with the exception of Oshawa, won by the NDP.<\/p>\n
This time around, the Ontario Liberals hope to mount a suburban battle, especially in Brampton and Mississauga. Their leader, Crombie, was mayor of Mississauga for a decade before entering provincial politics, something the party hopes to leverage.<\/p>\n
One Liberal campaign source said Crombie\u2019s name recognition in the region was \u201csecond to none\u201d with canvassing stops slowed by requests for photos with the former mayor.<\/p>\n
Crombie, who didn\u2019t hold a seat at dissolution, is running in Mississauga East\u2014Cooksville, where she spent the entire second day of the campaign.<\/p>\n
She\u2019s also stopped in Brampton for an announcement, although the riding in which she held that event didn\u2019t yet have a party candidate nominated to run.<\/p>\n
The PCs \u2014 who won all 11 of Peel Region\u2019s seats in 2022, up from eight in 2018 \u2014 have also sent Ford to the region. The Progressive Conservative leader made two stops at the beginning of February in Brampton ridings, holding a news conference and launching a local campaign.<\/p>\n
The Liberals and NDP have made several visits to the ridings in Toronto\u2019s 416 area.\u00a0 Both held news conferences in Spadina\u2014Fort York on Monday \u2014 the riding was won by the NDP\u2019s Chris Glover in 2022.<\/p>\n

\n\t\t\t\t<\/p>\n\n\t\t\t\tFocused Green Party campaign\t\t\t<\/h2>\n<\/p><\/div>\n
Green Party Leader Mike Schreiner, who has an electric car instead of a battle bus, has been focused on a select few ridings in his campaigning.<\/p>\n
Schreiner won Guelph in 2022 and added a second MPP to his party\u2019s fold at the end of 2023 when his party won the Kitchener Centre byelection. He has devoted significant time already in the campaign to those ridings as he looks to win both again.<\/p>\n
He\u2019s also headed north several times to Parry Sound\u2014Muskoka, where the Greens came within striking distance of winning in 2022. In the last election, the PCs\u2019 Graydon Smith won 20,216 votes and the Greens\u2019 Matt Richter won 18,102.<\/p>\n
Both are running again.<\/p>\n
Additionally, Schreiner has spent time in Wellington-Halton Hills. The rural riding was represented by Ted Arnott, who ran under the Progressive Conservative banner but served as the Speaker.<\/p>\n<\/p><\/div>\n
