What does it take to lead the Ontario Liberal Party back to power, and can a nearly year-long endurance test actually build the muscle the party needs to defeat Doug Ford?Following the official launch of the 2026 OLP Leadership race, our Ontario Wrap-Up panel is back to break down the newly released rules, the shift to online voting, and the long road to November 21.Featuring Darrell Dean (former Digital Director for PM Trudeau), Theresa Lubowitz (former advisor to the Premier of Ontario and former OLP Communications Coordinator), Alex Mather (former advisor to the Premier of Ontario), and Jordan Ray (former OLP Organization Lead), the panel explores whether a year-long campaign is a necessary party building exercise or a risky recipe for organizational drift.The team dives into the logistics of the contest, the implications of a $1M spending cap, and how a new era of online voting might expand the party's tent. They also debate the authenticity required to offer a hopeful alternative to the current government.Topics include:OLP Leadership 2026 • Ontario Politics • Digital Campaigning • Online Voting • Political Strategy • Doug Ford • Progressive Messaging • Campaign Fundraising • Candidate Recruitment • Political Branding • Strategic Communications • Ontario Liberal PartyWhere to Find Us:Substack: https://progresscanada.substack.com/YouTube: https://www.youtube.com/@ProgressCanadaInstagram: https://www.instagram.com/progress_canada_podcastFacebook: https://www.facebook.com/progresscanadapodcastBlueSky: https://bsky.app/profile/progresscanada.bsky.socialLinkedIn: https://www.linkedin.com/showcase/progress-canada/ TikTok: https://www.tiktok.com/@progress_canada_podcast Reddit: https://www.reddit.com/r/ProgressCanadaPodcast/
