Stephanie Bowman is the MPP for Don Valley West, a chartered accountant, and a former Bank of Canada board member. She’s one of two Ontario Liberal leadership candidates who currently sit in the legislature, and voting is open now.
Jacob Citron talks to Bowman about why she entered the race late, why she believes the next leader needs a seat at Queen’s Park, and how she’d rebuild the OLP. They also cover her “economy with heart” pitch, interprovincial trade, government advertising, the stigma around the trades, and what she’d do with billions in what she calls wasteful spending.
