Trudeau's Liberals overtake Scheer's Conservatives in fundraising
For the first time in three years, the Liberal Party of Canada has out-fundraised the federal Conservatives.
The last three months of 2019 saw the Conservative Party drop to second place for the first time since Q4 2016.
According to iPolitics,
“The Liberals collected $4.82 million in donations during the period that covered both the final three weeks of the election, in comparison to the Conservatives, who fundraised $4.19 million from the start of October until the end of December.”
The New Democrats came in third with a total of $2,760,000 million raised in the last three months of 2019.
Earlier this week, our own David Menzies spoke with Liberal supporters outside of a fundraising event featuring Justin Trudeau and Navdeep Bains about their views on the coronavirus and the pro-Iranian regime Majid Jowhari. The event took place in Mississauga and ticket prices started at $800 for youth under 35 up to $1,600.
