ABOVE THE FOLD

First in Queen’s Park Observer — AD WATCH: It’s two weeks out from E-Day and third parties are dropping as much cash as they can to get the message out about what matters to them this campaign. They’re restricted to spending $109,100 — and $4,364 in specific ridings — on election advertising.

Ontario Autism Coalition’s big rig election ad.

Unions are making it rain the most, by a long shot. The standings so far, per Elections Ontario disclosures:

Unifor — $109,045

Ontario Nurses’ Association — $108,783

Elementary Teachers' Federation of Ontario — $108,429

Ontario Federation of Labour — $104,525

Ontario Medical Association — $73,908

United Steelworkers — $92,150

The Retired Teachers of Ontario — $33,012

Ontario Autism Coalition — $6,368

Environmental Defence — $6,319

Daily Bread Food Bank — $4,132

Fair Vote Canada — $3,299

Electricity Distributors Association — $1,125

In case you missed it, catch up on the biggest pre-writ spenders.
