NDP Leader Jagmeet Singh, pictured recently on the Hill with NDP MP Charlie Angus. The NDP raised just under $862,000, compared to the Liberals who brought in $3.7-million, and the Conservatives who raked in a cool $4.8-million. And while that’s bad news for the NDP, here’s even worse news: it’s running out of time. The Hill Times photograph by Andrew Meade

Doug Ford
It’s tone-deaf, argues Andrew Caddell, for Ontario Premier Doug Ford, pictured, to compare Ontario’s 600,000 Franco-Ontarians to the about 600,000 Chinese Ontarians and 600,000 Italian Ontarians, in noting that the province can’t please everybody. The Hill Times photograph by Andrew Meade
