Ted Hsu's pitch to lead the Ontario Liberal Party
Physicist, financier, father ... and future premier?
Ted Hsu's banking that his past experience in and out of politics will catapult him to the top of Ontario Liberal leadership contestants.
The Kingston and the Islands MPP is also no stranger to navigating a third party out of the wilderness. He was the riding's MP when the federal Liberal Party went from a distant third in the 2011 election to a huge majority in 2015.
He joined the pod to talk about the state of the provincial party, the ongoing leadership race, what learned — and what the provincial party can learn — from the federal Liberal's rebirth.
We also touch on energy policy (he's the party's energy critic, after all) including why he doesn't think Ontario should get back into providing tax credits for electric vehicles and if there's been a sea change in offshore wind politics.
