THE LEDE

From the executive council to Crombie’s bus, one would-be Liberal leader is adding muscle. The drama isn’t over yet in Erskine-Smith v. Maggi. Amendments loom at the Tories’ convention. But before we dig in, the Liberal caucus will take a key vote later today.

What we’re watching: We await to learn who’ll temporarily take up the mantle from Bonnie Crombie, who quit as Liberal leader last week. A vote on an interim leader is expected at a caucus meeting later today.

Once that call is made, the executive — along with riding association presidents — will follow with a formal approval process.

Who’s who: John Fraser has done it twice before, though sources say a meeting last week ended without clarity on whether he’d return for a third time. (Privately, Fraser had wanted a say in the leadership contest, but serving as interim leader would almost certainly require neutrality.)
