Ontario PCs hold fundraising advantage ahead of possible vote | CBC News
Briefly

In 2024, Ontario's Progressive Conservatives have raised $10.6 million, positioning them strongly against rivals amid possible snap election rumors. In comparison, the Ontario Liberal Party raised just under $2.5 million, although they claimed a total of $5.4 million from various donors. The NDP reported $2.3 million but asserted they reached $5.3 million when including additional donations. Experts note that the PC's fundraising advantage could fuel aggressive advertising campaigns both on traditional media and social platforms, suggesting an intense electoral landscape ahead as parties prepare their candidate strategies.
We're already seeing a lot of ads on TV... I think people are used to seeing the premier's face if they're watching playoff football.
Those ads cost money, and there will be a lot more of those from all the parties once the election is called.
The Ontario Liberal Party came a distant second to the Tories in terms of 2024 advertising, raising just under $2.5 million last year.
All of the major parties are kicking preparations into high gear with a key focus on getting their candidates in place.
