The top donations to Prime Minister Justin Trudeau's local riding association came almost entirely from British Columbia in 2016. Eighty-three per cent of contributions for $1,5000 — the maximum amount allowed at the federal level — came from out of province. That's pretty much the exact opposite of how most riding associations raise funds. Generally, the bulk of donations are local, with a few scattered contributions (perhaps from friends and family of the candidates) from across the country. About 85 per cent of donations to Conservative MP Michelle Rempel come from Alberta. New Democrat MP Charlie Angus has recorded only one out-of-province donation to his riding association. And Nova Scotians contributed 90 per cent of the money raised by Liberal Mark Eyking's Cape Breton riding association.
