Wednesdays with @Kady replay: 4 days until a new Liberal leader

There's always plenty to chat about with Kady O'Malley.

This week, Liberal Party of Canada president Mike Crawley is our guest as party supporters and members continue to vote through Sunday for their next leader.

How well has the process worked for the party - from thenew supporter category, to thevote format(and turnout so far)afterlast weekend's "showcase"? What insights have we gained and what lessons can be learned about its future prospects, based onhow the contest unfolded?

Isanother Trudeaucoronationreally all but inevitable, as many commentatorssuggestJustin Trudeau's lead is insurmountable? Or could we still see a surprise this weekend?

How will having a new leader change the face and strategy for the party?

Plus:

New Democrats meet for theirpolicy conventionin Montreal this weekend, just as Liberals gather in Ottawa for their leadership announcement on Sunday.

Doesco-operation between these two partiesseem more or less likely now that both of their leadership races are (nearly) over? Is support migrating between the parties - have former Liberals turned to the more-centrist NDP under Tom Mulcair, or is there a constituency of "orange Liberals" returning to the third party, as recentpublic opinion pollssuggest?
