The fall out continues from the recent byelection in the Toronto riding St. Paul’s.

The co-chair of the Liberals’ Ontario campaign is suggesting the party’s candidate in that race needed more time to campaign before the vote.

Burlington Liberal MP Karina Gould is responsible for finding candidates for the next federal election, which must happen before fall of 2025.

Gould says candidate Leslie Church needed more time to get to know people in the riding.

Gould says it’s becoming tougher for Liberal candidates to campaign because people are seeking change from a government that’s been in power for nine years.

The Liberals had held the St. Paul’s seat for 30 years, recently under Carolyn Bennett, but the Conservatives won the seat last week by about 600 votes.
