Conservative associations have, on average, just under $61,000 in net assets, Liberals associations averaged at $36,250, while NDP and Greens averaged $7,123…

The figures were smaller for New Democrats and Greens whose riding associations had assets valued in the four-digit range — $7,123 and $6,240, respectively.

More returns are likely to trickle in over the coming weeks, such as Conservative Leader Erin O’Toole’s association in his riding of Durham, and Bloc Quebecois Leader Yves-Francois Blanchet’s riding of Beloeil-Chambly. How much they can raise depends on a variety of factors, including whether the party has a prominent MP or cabinet minister and local demographics, said Tom Flanagan, a former Conservative campaign adviser and now a retired University of Calgary politics professor.

The top Liberal is Procurement Minister Anita Anand, whose riding association in Oakville had nearly $205,000 in net assets, which puts the association two spots shy of the top 10. Where the money is needed is in ridings where the parties believe they have a shot at winning, but little cash to make it happen, said Lori Turnbull, director of Dalhousie University’s school of public administration. Parties will move money around between associations to concentrate resources in contestable races, she said.

These signs should be against the law ...

And they still can't win....

Don’t forget to donate to the CPC. Donate so they can lose again due to their terrible policies and half witted opinions.

Bad choice of photo...must be an old one. McKenna is running?

conversations are evil. Choice of words says a lot to war. While they continue to steal land and resources and commit genocide and social murder in this country for their own profits and self interests.

Overcompensating

Bigger is better

So just like any other year, and they’ll still lose to Trudeau. Cool.

Expert: climate change expected to bring longer wildfire seasons and more area burnedA combination of drought, heat and drier fuels is causing larger areas to be burned in British Columbia, says an expert. This of course means less oxygen producing trees, and much more carbon producing dead ones which increases climate change. Until BC is burned up! Now only if the government was smart enough to remove most of the red tape so regular citizens can just jump in and help fight the fires. It's a state of emergency, can't be picky when you need the help. And it brings the community together.
