Guest: Robert Benzie, Queen's Park bureau chief

The Ontario Liberals have elected Bonnie Crombie as their new leader. She is tasked with taking down Premier Doug Ford, whose government is already labelling her as an elitist, and bringing her party back in from the wilderness after two crushing and consecutive defeats and no official party status. You could say she's got her work cut out for her. Robert Benzie, The Star's Queen's Park bureau chief and our very own Ontario politics expert, helps unpack Crombie's victory and what the next two and a half years could look like for the Liberals in Ontario politics before the next provincial election in June 2026.

This episode was produced by Paulo Marques and Saba Eitizaz.
