New analysis shows that between Liberals' victory in 2015 and end of 2020, political donors in federal riding of Sault Ste. Marie contributed an average of $788
Residents in the riding of Sault Ste. Marie contributed $427,017 to federal political parties in the years following the Liberals’ 2015 election victory through to the end of 2020, according to a new analysis of Elections Canada political donations data.
Geoff Turner, chair of the Ottawa Centre Federal Liberal Association, said residents in the riding tend to work and volunteer in the public sphere. People who are well-off are also more likely to vote, said Erin Crandall, an associate professor of politics at Acadia University in Nova Scotia, noting that research has consistently linked voter turnout with affluence. “They feel like they’re a part of the democratic system and party system,” she said.
Michel Paulin, president of the Nipissing–Timiskaming Federal Liberal Association, said the geography of larger, more rural ridings like his, which generated a total of $638,056 for all federal parties and ranked 192nd overall, makes it challenging to stay connected with constituents.
