Karina Gould’s campaign says she’s raised $50,000 from supporters in the 24 hours since she launched her bid for the Liberal leadership on Saturday.
Karina made no bones about it – at her launch on Sunday she asked people to donate and they did.
Gould’s team says the funding came from “grassroots Liberals,” with the average donation totalling $200.
All leadership candidates are required to pay a $350,000 entry fee. The first $50,000 installment — which is refundable — is due on Jan. 23, which is also the deadline to register as a candidate.
For those who scoff at the idea of Karina Gould becoming the leader of the Liberal Party of Canada – take another look.
Interesting that the minimum donation accepted is $20.00 – a ‘grassroots champion” indeed!
Editor’s note: The minimum applies to the amount you can get a receipt for
I beg it disagree. No it does not – I tried to give $10.00 using the donate function attached to Ms. Gould’s request email. It would accept nothing less than $20.00.
As the Man put it “Not a snowballs chance in hell”
Maybe the donors offered up the Carbon tax rebates!
