It's $600K for the leadership race alone. That's not small amount of money. 37% of all the money for leadership is from 3 no-name candidates backed by one Ontario based social conservative lobby group.This quote is hidden because you are ignoring this member. Show Quote
Of the overall funding it's been known since the Reform days that the strength in fundraising was large numbers of small donations, which the religious groups and social conservatives are extremely motivated in getting. The irony is that it was Chretien who made the campaign donation changes (and no surprise that Harper twisted the knife by reducing max limits and further restriction union and corporate donations). if these groups can raise $600K to run three nobodys in the leadership race, how motivated do you think they'll be when it comes to running actual candidates? This isn't even the group mad at Scheer for not being socially conservative enough.
