The race to replace Patrick Brown as leader of the Ontario Progressive Conservatives gained a surprising new candidate this week: Patrick Brown. Along with Brown, the candidates vying for the PC leadership are Tanya Granic Allen, Christine Elliott, Doug Ford and Caroline Mulroney — a colourful group even before Brown showed up. Polls suggest PC party members are not only choosing their next party leader, but the favourite to be the next premier of the province as well. To discuss the implications of Brown's candidacy and what it means for the PC leadership race, Pollcast host Éric Grenier is joined by the CBC's Katie Simpson and Aaron Wherry. If the whirlwind Ontario PC leadership race wasn't chaotic enough, Patrick Brown's bid to regain the job he gave up was approved on Wednesday.
