THE LEDE

Runways, room charges — either way, the Ford government is still in damage-control mode. The latest: A bigger Billy Bishop is a no-go, while the Tories send a group of interns to comb through AR-1s. Over in Mississauga, a leaked Team Crombie memo lays out how the ex-mayor can win in October.

Plus: The Premier is staring down a serious front-bench reset. But before that, a stop in Liberal land, where it’s T-minus three days until the deadline for would-be leadership candidates to register.

SCOOP — Stephanie Bowman is entering the race for Liberal leader.

Bowman did not respond to a request for comment, though she hinted at a run in an Instagram post — throwing up the W — last night: “Grateful for the thoughtful conversations, optimistic about what lies ahead, and ready to do the work.”
