THE LEDE

Who’s in and who’s out in the race to be the next Liberal leader. There’s a ton of reaction to our scoop on the “palace coup.” But before we dig in, one caucus member dialed me up to give his side of the story. 

“It’s not true,” said Rob Cerjanec, who called to insist no push to oust Bonnie Crombie ever took place. 

For the most part, Cerjanec pointed to the caucus’s statement. “We are grateful too that Bonnie asked caucus for our input and there was no revolt,” they wrote. “This was Bonnie’s decision, and we admire Bonnie’s courage to do the right thing and put her party and her team first.”
