Nov 1, 2023 | 4:07 PM

OTTAWA — The federal Conservatives continue to hold a sizable fundraising advantage over the Liberals, collecting twice as much money from donors as the governing party did in this year’s third quarter.

The Tories raised just over $7 million in donations from around 42,000 contributors between July and September, a drop from the first two quarters in 2023.

Figures from Elections Canada show the party had raised about $8.3 million from January to March and nearly $8 million between April and June.

Data show the Liberals brought in just over $3 million from over 29,500 contributors in the third quarter, a slight drop from the $3.2 million they had raised in the previous three months.
