There will be an empty chair in Thunder Bay this morning when
the party leaders debate northern issues.Premier Dalton McGuinty says he can't attend due to a scheduling conflict and his rivals say that won't go over well in the North.
NDP Leader Andrea Horwath and Progressive Conservative Leader Tim Hudak have been pushing McGuinty to accept the invitation.
McGuinty, who will campaign in Toronto, Hamilton and Kitchener, says he's not snubbing the North and has a long track record to prove it.
The debate will be webcast on www.noma.ca beginning at 10 p.m. CDT.
