Conservatives will choose a leader Sunday: Here's what you need to know
About this episode
After a months-long campaign hampered by the COVID-19 pandemic, the Conservative Party of Canada will soon have a new leader.
The deadline for ballots is just days away, and it’s anticipated Andrew Scheer’s successor will be crowned on August 23.
Just who that will be is very much up in the air.
The National Post’s Brian Platt joins Dave to talk about why Peter MacKay’s front-runner status isn’t a lock, why Erin O’Toole could be vulnerable, and how Leslyn Lewis and Derek Sloan could play spoiler on a ranked ballot.
