Elections Canada says Pierre Poilievre received $4-million in donations in the second quarter, compared with $1.3-million for Jean Charest
Pierre Poilievre has won the fundraising race among candidates seeking the leadership of the federal Conservatives, raising more money in the second quarter of the year than his rivals combined.
Next up was $504,649 for Roman Baber, a former Progressive Conservative member of the Ontario legislature, and $363,922 for Ontario MP Scott Aitchison. However, he said it is still processing about $2.5-million received in the quarter on behalf of leadership campaigns in line with Elections Canada specifications, and that these will eventually be counted.
In a statement, she added that Mr. Charest’s campaign has surpassed $3-million and continues to raise more each day. Mr. Poilievre had a total 36,804 donations, averaging $109.84, while Mr. Charest had a total 4,191 donations averaging $328.44 each. Parker Lund, communications director for the Liberal Party, said the Elections Canada numbers are favourable for the Liberals.
