The federal Liberals are circulating the following to their membership. The leader Justin Trudeau says the lastest fundraising numbers have some good news and bad news:
The Conservatives just posted their 2nd quarter fundraising numbers – and despite one of our strongest showings ever, we got out-raised by nearly $2-million.Take a look and see for yourself:
That means that between April and June, every minute of every day a Conservative supporter donated 37 dollars and 27 cents. In the 10 seconds it’s taken you to read this, Conservatives donated $5 more – the same amount you could give right now to even the playing field. But while the Conservatives out-raised us last quarter, we’ve got one number on our side – 38,014. That’s how many Canadians donated to be part of the change, and it’s 7,577 more than gave to the Conservatives. This is exactly the spirit of the movement we’re building together – thousands on thousands of Canadians, each pitching in what they can, working together to build a better Canada through hope and hard work. The Conservatives aren’t letting up. Neither can we. And I can’t do this without you. Please donate now to help us keep up the momentum – and keep working harder: https://www.liberal.ca/help-us-close-the-gap/ Thank you for being part of the change. Justin |
