This afternoon, Liberal supporters filled a hall in the Metro Toronto Convention Centre. The six people who hope to win the party’s leadership made their final appeals to party faithful in a series of 30-minute showcases. Maclean’s has everything you need to know about what comes next for the party that hopes to rebuild its former glory.

John Geddes and Paul Wells, in the video to the right, wonder how much frontrunner Justin Trudeau has actually been tested during his leadership run.

Geddes explores how Trudeau has reacted to the knocks against him thus far. Rosemary Westwood tells you everything you need to know about how Liberals will pick their new leader.

During today’s showcase, Geddes and Nick Taylor-Vaisey liveblog each candidate’s final appeal. Soon, Aaron Wherry will sketch the scene in the convention centre.

The liveblog started at 1 p.m., and ran until the end of the showcase. Below, check out the delicate mix of snark and serious analysis.
