Good Wednesday morning. This is Queen’s Park Observer.

— SPOTTED in Thunder Bay: The answer to the question trending on Twitter this week, #WhereIsDougFord: The Premier spent Tuesday touring the Thunder Bay Regional Health Sciences Center and the Alstom Thunder Bay Plant with Northern Development Minister GREG RICKFORD.

The Premier has kept a low-profile during this federal campaign summer. Liberal Leader STEVEN DEL DUCA would prefer to see him back at Queen’s Park, to convene a meeting with Opposition leaders and other stakeholders on “clear vaccine mandates and a provincewide vaccine certificate.”
