Toronto Star: Out, out, out!
'“It is time for me to step aside,” said Horwath after leading the party to official opposition status for the second election in a row. Horwath is resigning as soon as the NDP picks an interim leader, which party sources say could come within a matter of days.
'It wasn’t immediately clear whether Horwath would remain as MPP for Hamilton Centre. She romped to an easy victory in her riding, beating PC candidate Sarah Bokhari and the Liberals’ Ekaterini Dimakis. Horwath has been rumoured to be considering a run for Mayor of Hamilton in this fall’s municipal election. Incumbent mayor Fred Eisenberger hasn’t yet said whether he’ll be running. Former mayor and ex-Liberal MP Bob Bratina has said he’ll run, but hasn’t registered yet. So far, only two candidates have registered to run for mayor, including Keanin Loomis, ex-CEO of the Hamilton Chamber of Commerce.'
