## Resource

MPP Rob Cerjanec has pulled out of the Ontario Liberal leadership race, surprising many after a vigorous campaign — citing family and team discussions as his reason. With his exit, the field now narrows to four contenders: Lee Fairclough, Navdeep Bains, Eric Lombardi, and Dylan Marando. Nominations close July 31, and voters will cast ranked ballots online from Nov 9 to 20, with the winner announced Nov 21 — a pivotal moment that could redefine the party’s future in Ontario politics.
