The oil sands in Fort McMurray, Alta. Meanwhile, back on Planet Earth, everyone is gearing up for a federal election centred on the proposed Liberal carbon tax. The right-wing forces are armed and ready. Trudeau’s problem is that his carbon tax isn’t even that popular with people who want a carbon tax, writes Susan Riley. The Hill Times file photograph

Opinion | BY ANDREW CADDELL | December 5, 2018
Ontario Premier Doug Ford’s decision to cut funding for some of the province’s planned French-language services is reminiscent of the Stephen Harper Conservative’s cuts to arts funding—both played well with their base but had larger political ramifications, says Andrew Caddell.

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
