Rookie Toronto MPP Shamji, an emergency room doctor, sides with race’s frontrunner, the Mayor of Mississauga
Mr. Shamji, an emergency room doctor who first won his seat as the MPP for Toronto’s Don Valley East riding last year, has been a vocal member of the party’s small nine-member caucus, particularly on health-care issues.
In a separate e-mailed statement, Mr. Shamji cited recent party deadlines to sign up eligible new members and acknowledged that he could not win the race. He said he would continue fighting health care, housing, education and the environment as part of Ms. Crombie’s team. The move leaves Ms. Crombie, also a former MP, still facing three opponents: Former Ontario attorney general and current Liberal MP Yasir Naqvi, Toronto Liberal MP Nate Erskine-Smith and Kingston and the Islands Liberal MPP Ted Hsu.
Ms. Crombie has quickly emerged as the race’s frontrunner, raising more than $900,000 – more than all her rivals combined – according to Elections Ontario figures, although these numbers do not include donations under $200. Her campaign has also claimed to have signed up the largest number of new members.
