Show Notes
Ontario goes to the polls next week. The election has been pretty boring - like most pandemic elections - and it looks like Doug Ford is set to cruise to re-election with another majority government. Queen's Park Today and Wag the Doug's Allison Smith joins us from Toronto to break down how we got here.
Then the business case for the Royal BC Museum redevelopment is out. We react to the parts that weren't redacted.
