After a losing election campaign, the Ontario Liberal Party’s Constitution requires a leadership review to take place at the party’s upcoming convention in September. In this episode, our panel tackles key questions ahead of the vote:

• What does Bonnie Crombie need to do to convince members she deserves a second chance to lead the party to victory?
• What do those who want to turn the page on the Crombie era need to do to make their case to members ahead of the review?
• What number does Crombie need to hit to silence her naysayers and confidently move forward towards the next election?
• Leadership change or not, what does the party need to do in the next 6, 12, 18 months to get campaign-ready?

Join us for an in-depth look at the state of the Ontario Liberal Party ahead of the most important decision its members will make in 2025.

As Ontario's 25th Premier, Kathleen Wynne broke barriers, led Ontario through major challenges, and was a powerful voice in Canadian politics.

In this episode, the former Premier joins us to reflect on the changing political landscape, the rise of polarization, and what it takes to lead with integrity in uncertain times.

We also talk about the next generation of political leaders—and how we can help them build a more inclusive future.
