MP Lisa Raitt revealed on Saturday she will not be entering Ontario Progressive Conservative leadership race. Speculation intensified this week after former Ontario PC leader Patrick Brown was forced to resign his post following allegations of sexual misconduct, during his time as a Barrie MP, from two women. On Friday, the Ontario PC caucus held a snap meeting to select a new interim leader. Vic Fedeli was voted by caucus as interim leader of Ontario PC Party on Friday. Other names being floated include MPP Lisa MacLeod, former Ontario PC leadership candidate Christine Elliot, PC candidate in York-Simcoe Caroline Mulroney, former OLG chief executive and current PC candidate in Ajax Rod Phillips, former federal minister of foreign affairs John Baird and even former Toronto city councillor Doug Ford.
