TORONTO — Postmedia Chair Rod Phillips announced plans Thursday to seek the Progressive Conservative nomination in the new riding of Ajax. In a statement Thursday, Phillips said that he looks forward to being part of the Ontario PC team and its “positive, inclusive and responsible vision” for the province under Brown’s leadership. Phillips would bring a wealth of political, government and business experience to Brown’s PC team. He served as the chief of staff to former Toronto mayor Mel Lastman and in the same role to former PC labour minister Elizabeth Witmer. Phillips is most recently best known as chair of Postmedia, the largest chain of newspapers and digital media products in the country, including the Toronto Sun and the National Post.
