      Let's play Caption the Campaign Photo again.

      This Liberal Party of Canada image shows Opposition leader Michael Ignatieff greeting commuters at the Halifax Ferry Terminal on April 4.

      We're not quite sure if Ignatieff and his companion are chuckling about the state of the daily newspaper industry or comparing Twitter follower numbers.

      If you were Ignatieff and the unidentified newspaper hawker, what would you be saying in this picture? Tell us in the comments section below or on our Facebook page.

      We will repost the photo tomorrow (April 6) using our favourite submission.

      Update (April 6): Commenter "caelan g" came up with these captions. Thanks for playing.

      I'm supposed to juggle the country's books and I can't even hold a stack of papers? Maybe if I smile pretty they won't notice. -HIM
