Notes
Original Toronto Star caption: She'd still rather be knitting. On Tuesday, when she stood in as speech-maker for Premier Frank Miller, his wife Ann told reporters, I'd rather do my knitting. So she did, yesterday, on the Premier's plane-hop through northern ridings. It's her third pair of socks since campaign began.
