(Campaign Life Coalition) – On behalf of Campaign Life Coalition (CLC), I’d like to thank you for your generous response to our last-minute donation appeals on behalf of pro-life, pro-family Conservative Party of Canada (CPC) leadership hopefuls Grant Abraham and Marc Dalton.
Thanks to the strong response by CLC supporters, Grant Abraham raised the full $300,000 entry fee to get on the ballot, plus 598 nomination signatures.
Unfortunately, MP Marc Dalton raised only $200,000 in the end, and did not make the cut.
So, on Friday evening, our team here at CLC was pretty excited that 3 out of our 4 endorsed candidates made it onto the final ballot, including Grant Abraham, Joseph Bourgault and Leslyn Lewis.
However, that excitement turned to outrage when, on Sunday evening, we learned that Grant Abraham received notice from the party that he allegedly did NOT meet the financial requirements, in spite of having raised the stated $300K buy-in fee and having obtained the required signatures by the 5pm deadline on April 29th.
This did not make sense so we started to ask questions to our contacts in the party.
