VIDEO: She didn't win her seat, but Bonnie Crombie staying on as Liberal leader

The Ontario Liberal Party regained official party status tonight — by one seat

Liberal Leader Bonnie Crombie knew she was in for a tough fight to win her riding of Mississauga East—Cooksville.

In the end, she lost to PC candidate Silvia Gualtieri by more than 1,200 votes.

But Crombie is not going anywhere. She pledged tonight to stay on as Ontario Liberal Leader and hold the new Ford government to account.
