Sandra Pupatello has announced that she is resigning from her job at Bay St. on Thursday and has decided to compete for the leadership of Ontario’s Liberal party.
Pupatello is a former economic development and social services minister, who served under Premier Dalton McGuinty, has asserted that her business credentials and political experience is enough to revive the Grits and the provincial economy. She informed the media while she was at Ryerson University, that “I’m gonna talk about jobs.” She also reportedly said that The North American economy “is not firing on all cylinders yet.”
50-years-old Pupatello, quit politics last year and did not campaign for the elections of Oct. 6, 2011 which condensed the Liberals to a minority. If Pupatello ends up winning the leadership convention scheduled for Jan. 25-27 at Maple Leaf Gardens, she is planning to compete in the Windsor-Tecumseh riding that is now vacant since its current MPP, Finance Minister Dwight Duncan, has announced to not run again. Duncan is also supporting Pupatello.
A critic of Progressive Conservative economic development, Monte McNaughton, mentioned in a statement that Pupatello, during her time in office, “never said no to reckless overspending.”
Pupatello is the third contender of the race to succeed McGuinty. She will be likely competing with Kathleen Wynne, a former minister of Education, Transportation, Municipal Affairs and Aboriginal Affairs, and Glen Murray, a one-time mayor of Winnipeg who served as McGuinty’s minister of Training, Colleges and Universities.
