Former Vancouver Mayor Gregor Robertson and Edmonton Mayor Amarjeet Sohi have announced their candidacies for the federal Liberals, adding high-profile names to the party's roster. Sohi emphasized the importance of experienced leadership in countering external political threats, while Robertson aims to secure a seat in Vancouver Fraserview-South Burnaby. A new CityNews-Leger poll suggests a tight race between the Liberals and Conservatives, with 40% of Canadians supporting the Liberals and 37% backing the Conservatives. The upcoming election is shaping up to be one of the most competitive in recent history, with both parties vying for key battleground ridings. The involvement of prominent municipal leaders could influence voter sentiment and party dynamics in the lead-up to election day.

Here we go again—career politicians jumping ship to the Liberals to keep the same tired policies going.

It’s good to see experienced municipal leaders stepping up, but hopefully they push the Liberals toward stronger action on housing and income inequality instead of just maintaining the status quo.

It's great to see experienced leaders like Robertson and Sohi stepping up for the Liberals—municipal leadership brings a real, on-the-ground perspective to federal politics. With the Conservatives gaining ground, we need strong progressive voices to push back against right-wing policies that could roll back climate action and social programs. This election is going to be a tough fight, but bringing in mayors who understand housing, transit, and sustainability could be a game-changer.
