    Tories raise twice as much as Liberals in 2021

    Darpan News Desk The Canadian Press, 04 Aug, 2021 01:37 PM
    • Tories raise twice as much as Liberals in 2021

    The Federal Conservatives raised roughly twice as much money as the Liberals in the first half of 2021, lending them a cash advantage ahead of a likely fall election.

    Elections Canada filings show the Tories raked in $13.6 million in the first six months of the year versus $6.8 million for the Grits.

    The contributions include newly released figures from the second quarter, when Conservatives raised $5.1 million from 34,865 donors compared to the Liberals' $3.3 million from 36,495 donors.

    The NDP pulled in more than $1.5 million last quarter, a slight dip from $1.6 million in the first three months of 2021.

    The Bloc Québécois and Greens raised $312,000 and $682,000 respectively between April and June.

    All parties are looking to beef up their war chests for spending on advertising, local riding battles and national campaign tours in advance of a writ drop expected as early as this month.
