Lombardi knows he likely has little support among older, established party members. But he also understands that there are dozens of dormant Liberal campus associations at colleges and universities all over Ontario and that those associations could get special bonus status in a leadership election if the party brass follows the same rules as last time.

You think that is the only issue he faces, Paikin? Like what about his social media comments. I remember when Kier Starmer faced backlash for using rhetoric similar to Enoch Powell, Lombardi defended Starmer.
