The Rosedale Gang is the name used to refer to the group of individuals that advise Liberal Party of Canada leader Michael Ignatieff. The term pokes fun at the fact that many from this group were either born or have worked in Toronto prior to joining Ignatieff's Ottawa team. Rosedale is a wealthy, old money neighbourhood in Toronto.
The term 'Rosedale Gang' first appeared in a Toronto Star story [1] which credited the term to an anonymous source within the Liberal party. This group has also been referred to as the 'Bloc Torontois'. [2]
On September 28, 2009, Denis Coderre, the Liberal Member of Parliament for Bourassa, announced that he was resigning from his post as the Liberals' Quebec Lieutenant. His resignation arose from a dispute between Ignatieff's Toronto advisors and Coderre over the selection of former Cabinet Minister Martin Cauchon as a Liberal Candidate in an upcoming election.
