Broadcaster Marci Ien to seek Liberal nomination in Bill Morneau’s old riding

Sean Kilpatrick/The Canadian Press

Broadcaster Marci Ien says she is throwing her hat in the ring to win the Liberal nomination in the riding formerly held by Bill Morneau. Morneau represented Toronto Centre for the Liberals during his time in the House of Commons, which came to an abrupt end in August when he suddenly resigned as finance minister and MP.

In a series of tweets, Ien says she has taken a leave from Bell Media to try to be the Liberal candidate in the riding.She writes that she has had the privilege of connecting with Canadians as a broadcaster throughout her career, and now hopes to connect in a new way.Canadians would best know Ien over her three decades as a broadcaster, including most recently as co-host of The Social, a daytime talk show on CTV.

globepolitics Has she not been following the Trudeau government in the news? What is she thinking?

CTV Liberal Loonie Paid by Liberals for narrative at CTV, so not a stretch to run for office as a Liberal. another hack But if you say anything .....because....Woman....Black... No it is because She was never honest about affiliation to Liberal Party as a broadcaster.

LOL!

Trying hard to live her life in the public purse

You would think that a broadcaster would understand politics.

Go MarciIen !!! So sick of Doug Ford. So sick of the conservatives in this province & their backward intolerant cost cutting ideology. liberal_party

Oh my gosh! How lucky is Canada! She would be a terffic leader. Thank you, Marci!

All broadcasters are Liberals & have at 1 point or another been a part of the fake news & Liberal propaganda. Is this a ticket to being the next Finance Minister OR The Dy PM? A strategy? MarciLen Morneau

An absolute twit fitting the liberal mold.

What a joke

Yep, no media bias.

Makes no difference to me who runs for them and who doesn’t at this point The liberal_party will never receive my support again as long as Justin Trudeau is allowed to remain leader of the party.

Now we just need Bev and Jeff and the whole gang could be back together again.

Yay more under qualified Liberal Journalists to ruin our economy.
