Former Ontario finance minister to run for federal Liberals in Toronto-area ridingMISSISSAUGA, Ont. — A former Ontario finance minister will be the federal Liberal candidate in an upcoming byelection in the Toronto area that's set to be called later this month. A statement from the party says Charles Sousa, who represented a provincial riding in Mississauga, Ont., for more than a decade and served as finance minister in the Liberal government of premier Kathleen Wynne, will run federally in the Mississauga-Lakeshore riding. A Liberal has represented Mississauga-Lakeshore since the 1990s, with the exception of the years between 2011 and 2015 when a Conservative held the seat. Another lifelong Mississauga resident, Mary Kidnew, is set to run for the Green Party.
