And Doug Ford \u2014 you failed. You tried to end the Ontario Liberal Party. But we\u2019re still here. And we\u2019re growing stronger every day.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>In 2024, the Ontario Liberal Party raised a total of $5.4 million. To have nearly matched that total halfway through 2025 is a clear sign of a party on the rise, fueled by growing grassroots support and a renewed sense of purpose.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cWhile we didn\u2019t win by forming government, we won something bigger,\u201d Crombie told the crowd. \u201cWe\u2019ve elected a small but mighty caucus. We\u2019ve rebuilt our foundation. And we\u2019re building something that lasts.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>The funds raised will help fuel candidate recruitment, community outreach, and policy development as the party continues to hold Doug Ford accountable and offer Ontarians a stronger, smarter alternative.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cThank you,\u201d Crombie repeated throughout her remarks. \u201cThank you for believing. Thank you for standing with us. And thank you for helping build the future of this province.\u201d<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>With over $500,000 raised at tonight\u2019s Leader\u2019s Dinner, the Ontario Liberal Party has now surpassed $5 million in fundraising for 2025 alone \u2014 a major milestone that underscores the party\u2019s &#8230;<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":3,"featured_media":74534,"comment_status":"open","ping_status":"closed","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"_EventAllDay":false,"_EventTimezone":"","_EventStartDate":"","_EventEndDate":"","_EventStartDateUTC":"","_EventEndDateUTC":"","_EventShowMap":false,"_EventShowMapLink":false,"_EventURL":"","_EventCost":"","_EventCostDescription":"","_EventCurrencySymbol":"","_EventCurrencyCode":"","_EventCurrencyPosition":"","_EventDateTimeSeparator":"","_EventTimeRangeSeparator":"","_EventOrganizerID":[],"_EventVenueID":[],"_OrganizerEmail":"","_OrganizerPhone":"","_OrganizerWebsite":"","_VenueAddress":"","_VenueCity":"","_VenueCountry":"","_VenueProvince":"","_VenueState":"","_VenueZip":"","_VenuePhone":"","_VenueURL":"","_VenueStateProvince":"","_VenueLat":"","_VenueLng":"","_VenueShowMap":false,"_VenueShowMapLink":false,"footnotes":""},"categories":[85],"tags":[],"class_list":["post-74531","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","hentry","category-politics"],"publishpress_future_action":{"enabled":false,"date":"2026-04-16 06:21:07","action":"change-status","newStatus":"draft","terms":[],"taxonomy":"category","extraData":[]},"publishpress_future_workflow_manual_trigger":{"enabledWorkflows":[]},"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/wawa-news.com\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/74531","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/wawa-news.com\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/wawa-news.com\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/wawa-news.com\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/3"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/wawa-news.com\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=74531"}],"version-history":[{"count":2,"href":"https:\/\/wawa-news.com\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/74531\/revisions"}],"predecessor-version":[{"id":74536,"href":"https:\/\/wawa-news.com\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/74531\/revisions\/74536"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/wawa-news.com\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/74534"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/wawa-news.com\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=74531"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/wawa-news.com\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=74531"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/wawa-news.com\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=74531"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
