SCOOP — A Liberal candidate in the Flower City has a Conservative past.
Ranjit Singh Bagga — who will carry the Liberal banner in Brampton North — was running to be Pierre Poilievre’s candidate in Mississauga—Malton, just before he was picked to run up against Graham McGregor.
Singh, a golf course mogul and former mayoral candidate, had already turned in his application, according to a source familiar with the process, and was actively campaigning and registering new members.

In June, at a Canada Day event, Singh was introduced to Poilievre and his deputy as “running in Mississauga—Malton.” “He’s got a lot of memberships,” a person said.
While a nomination night has not been scheduled, it’s unclear how soon Singh abandoned his federal bid and if he still has a membership with the federal party. Yesterday, Crombie’s campaign announced him as the candidate. “As a Brampton resident and business owner, I know families are struggling — finding a doctor, finding a home, and managing rising costs,” he said. “Brampton deserves better, and I’m ready to help.”
He stood behind the Liberal leader at an announcement earlier this week.
This isn’t Singh’s first apparent political conversion either. He was once a volunteer on Harinder Takhar’s leadership bid, a source said. “It’s possible he’s a federal Conservative and provincial Liberal,” they explained. “It’s rare but not unheard of.”
“We’re an open tent party,” said a source close to Crombie’s campaign, granted anonymity to speak candidly about Singh’s nomination. “Having candidates with previous party affiliations is not new, as seen with other parties.”
“We have our core values — education, healthcare, housing and affordability — and regardless of their past affiliation, this party can be a home for them.”
The party is standing behind him. “Ranjit Singh wants to defeat Doug Ford and get the basics right for the people of Ontario — we’re happy to have him on the team,” a spokesperson said.
