Daaaaaaamn
Unfortunately fundraising and a popular leader/message are self reinforcing: mo money means mo ads means mo support means mo money. The Conservatives are snowballing while the other parties aren't even getting their message out.
Oil, gas, banks and monopolists love Poilievre, every million they spend has a multi-x potential return through proposed tax cuts and deregulation. Banks and monipolists seem lukewarm on Carney. The Conservatives have the grift-funding machine working full time.
IIRC only individuals can donate federally - organizations might be able to donate, but if they can, the limit is a free thousand bucks.
Companies do work around the limits by getting people to donate (line xEO's families), but those are typically in the tens of thousands, not millions.
