Here’s our daily look at what’s making news in the lead-up to the next provincial election.

Finance Minister Charles Sousa is set to make an early-morning announcement at Amsterdam BrewHouse on the Toronto waterfront.

Doug Ford’s travels in northwestern Ontario also include a brewery stop: he’ll have a photo op at Lake of the Woods Brewery, in Kenora. (Ford has previously hinted that, as premier, he might liberalize the sale of alcohol in Ontario; will he reveal more details on that today?) Later in the day, Ford will meet with businesspeople in the paper-mill town of Dryden, then he’ll attend a rally at the local training and cultural centre. The next “Rally for a Better Ontario” will take place Tuesday evening in Thunder Bay.
