But what about the Punish Incumbents itch?

If it ever happens in Alberta I'll let you know.

I mean, Crombie has to campaign on that, no? A quick search on Groundnews for her name and the most recent article I can find is from Dec 26th (lol, good luck, nobody read that) talking about her trying to shed her image as the queen of NIMBY.

Crombie has baggage, not the least of which, like Justin, is her dad's legacy.

It loses its comedic value if I have to explain it to you. I know she's not related to David.

David Crombie has a legacy though?

Sure you did bud

This is "slash the transport truck tires" all over again

 

[MindzEye]

Mayor of Toronto.

In the 70's....

That's not a political legacy that stands the test of time.

Name recognition

To who?

I'm old enough to remember David Crombie when he was Mayor so yes, yes I did.

 

[WeHaveMoreCupsThanYou]

To who?

To the same old white people who usually vote for Ford.

A 65 yr old voter in 2025 was ~20 when Crombie was voted out in Toronto. He's the answer to an obscure trivia question, not the owner of a political legacy anyone cares about in 2025.

Yes, you're old enough to remember David Crombie and think he's Bonnie Crombie's dad.

It's ok to be wrong. It's freeing. Say the words.

David Crombie, the former Mayor of Toronto and Bonnie Crombie, the current Ontario Liberal leader, are NOT related.

Crombie isn’t even Bonnie’s given surname—she got it from her ex-husband Brian Crombie, who ALSO is no relation to David Crombie.

That's all part of the joke man! The layers make it hilarious!

I am old enough to remember that you could look up his number in the Toronto phone book, and that there was such a thing as a phone book.

When Bonnie became party leader I assumed she was related but I checked and discovered she wasn't. But she became leader in 2023 so I've known for a while that there's no relation.
