Tonight on Village Media’s new ‘Closer Look’ podcast: We preview a big weekend for the Ontario Liberals — and revisit our recent interview with the party leader who insists she’s ‘not going anywhere’
Judgment day looms for Bonnie Crombie.
The Ontario Liberal leader faces a mandatory leadership review at the party’s annual general meeting this weekend, and it’s certainly not certain which way the vote will go.

Although Crombie has admitted to being caught off guard by Doug Ford’s snap election call — and faced criticism for making health care the centrepiece of her party’s platform — the Liberals did win enough seats to regain official party status.
We’ll know by Sunday night if the party faithful still have faith.

Joining us on tonight’s Closer Look podcast are two journalists from The Trillium who will be covering this weekend’s Liberal get-together: Editor-in-Chief Jessica Smith Cross and reporter Steve Cornwell.
In case you missed it, tonight’s show also includes snippets from our recent interviews with both Crombie and Nate Erskine-Smith, a former leadership rival who has been very vocal about the need for a new voice at the top of the party.
