Del Duca had enough delegates to win on the first ballot, but looking forward, the new leader’s task will be a monumental one, he acknowledged.
The Liberals were reduced from a majority government to one in third place without official party status in the legislature. They currently hold eight seats and have millions of dollars in debt from the last election.“Our road ahead as Liberals will not be easy, because we have a ton of work to do,” Del Duca told the convention crowd of about 3,000 people.
The other contenders for the Liberal leadership were former cabinet minister Michael Coteau, politics instructor and former London, Ont., public servant Kate Graham, former education minister Mitzie Hunter, former college administrator and public servant Alvin Tedjo, and Ottawa-based lawyer Brenda Hollingsworth.
“Liberals believe the job of government is to be alert to change and get out in front of it, not be oblivious to change and in denial of it.”
He looks like a pornstar
Congrats to the Ontario Libs for dooming themselves to perpetual obscurity by choosing this Wynne clone

Another wynne sleazebag
Wynne Lite?
Never heard of him!
Gotta hand it to you Liberals, you completely destroyed Canada within 4 years of Majority. Now you are minority and on your way out. The tides, yes I said Tides, are turning, We are kicking Tides out of the PMO. We are taking Canada back. Move aside, Liberals, FU
What a creepy picture
Zzzzzzzzzz
The Liberal party today is not what it was when I was growing up. It is now a toxic party of hate and division. Anybody who supports the Liberal insanity must have a low IQ. You can't have a brain and still vote for your own destruction. Wait, Trudeau won the election, doh
When will this country realize Canada can't change the weather. Our forests make us a major carbon sink. China and India are laughing their asses off at us. cdnpoli
Not gay?!?
A joke
To be liberal in today’s Canada is to be morally compromised
Blah blah blah.
