Frisco and Scott are back for another week of Inside the Village with a special guest: Vic Fedeli, Ontario’s Minister of Economic Development. The timing couldn’t be better, as there is plenty of political deal-making to talk about — including the massive electric-vehicle battery plant coming to St. Thomas, Ont. A veteran politician who served as mayor of North Bay before making the jump to Queen’s Park, Fedeli also shares some behind-the-scenes stories about his close relationship with Premier Doug Ford — the “800-pound gorilla,” as he calls him. If you’re a political junkie, this is the episode for you. Also on the podcast: a happy ending for a missing 11-year-old girl in Sault Ste. Marie.
