Nanji emphasizes Bonnie's indecision on where to run, weak organization, and failure to win Mississauga seats, noting internal tensions and reports of a caucus revolt against her leadership.

In the first segment of Episode 53, we're exploring the heart of the South with a literary journey that's as soulful as it is adventurous. Joining us is the award-winning author Kim Wright, whose novel ‘Last Ride to Graceland' takes us on a road trip filled with mystery, music, and the enduring legacy of Elvis Presley. In ‘Last Ride to Graceland', blues musician Cory Beth Ainsworth is barely scraping by after her mother's death when she discovers a priceless piece of rock ‘n' roll memorabilia hidden away in a shed out back of the family's coastal South Carolina home: the car Elvis Presley drove the day he died. A backup singer for the King, Cory's mother, Laura “Honey” Berry, was at Graceland that fateful day in August 1977. She quickly returned home to Beaufort and married her high school sweetheart. Yearning to uncover the secrets of her mother's past—and possibly her own identity—Cory decides to drive the car back to Memphis and turn it over to Elvis's estate, retracing the exact route her mother took thirty-seven years earlier. As she winds her way through the sprawling deep south, the burning question in Cory's mind—is Elvis Presley my father?—takes a backseat to the truth she learns about her complicated mother. Kim and I delve into the inspiration behind ‘Last Ride to Graceland' and the fascinating journey of research and discovery that brought the book to life.  In the final segment of the episode, Stephanie Myers of Songfacts Podcast and Stephanie & Stephanie Talk Tunes joins Rock is Lit Season 3 Production Intern Cador Jones and me for a chat about some of the real-life folks who have claimed to be Elvis's “lovechildren.” Catch Stephanie Myers talking about actual kidnapping plots against Elvis in Season 1 Episode 3 of Rock is Lit.
