OTTAWA — The federal election campaign marks a milestone today: one week down, and four-and-a-half to go.

Liberal Leader Justin Trudeau is in New Brunswick and Nova Scotia today, having made marquee promises of a massive expansion of child care and parental benefit programs.

Conservative Leader Andrew Scheer campaigns in and around Toronto, after a week announcing a range of tax credits targeted at families.

The NDP’s Jagmeet Singh is also in Ontario, starting out with an announcement on his party’s plan to expand public dental coverage.
