The Hill Times is an independently-owned newspaper based in Ottawa. Breaking exclusive stories and blazing trails every week, we're an influential must-read for the savvy political and government insider. Ottawa City Magazine calls us "influential." The Globe and Mail says we’re "feisty" and "hot." CTV's Ottawa bureau says we're a "must-read for anybody or anyone who cares about the democratic process." Some have called us "the inside-the-beltway bible" or the "political insiders' bible." And The Toronto Star's Susan Delacourt says The Hill Times "delves into political and policy matters that we in the daily, national press can only scratch on the surface." Our readers include Cabinet ministers, MPs, Senators, political staffers, lobbyists, 'backroomers,' political junkies, and some of the top decision-makers in the country, including influential players in Parliament, Cabinet, the Prime Minister's Office, the Privy Council, the Finance Department, Treasury Board, the Department of National Defence, the Justice Department, and more. We have been giving political players and decision-makers a key platform to communicate with each other within government since 1989.
