Five months after stepping down as Ontario Liberal leader, Bonnie Crombie is reportedly ready to run for her previous job as mayor of Mississauga — a move that could lead to one of the most unpredictable mayoral races in the GTA.

Crombie, who left in the middle of her third term as Mississauga’s mayor in 2024 to take on Doug Ford, resigned in January following an election that swung solidly Conservative and left her without a seat at Queen’s Park.
