OTTAWA — Liberal leadership contenders have put down the first $50,000 of their entry fees, and continue lining up caucus endorsements and organizers as they push through a rushed timeline in their bids to become party leader.
Former finance minister Chrystia Freeland, former Bank of Canada governor Mark Carney and former government House leader Karina Gould have all paid their $50,000 deposits, but the pressure to raise cash doesn’t stop there, with another $50,000 due Monday and the balance of their $350,000 entry fees due in a matter of weeks.
