This has to be one of the lamest boasts I have seen in a long time. As one who feels big money should have less influence in Canadian elections, this is simply off-putting.

You are bragging that you managed to get more people to give you money faster. Big whoop. The CPC has a trained base. By now they automatically respond when they get a fund-raising email or phone call. $5 for this outrage, $5 for that outrage. 2/10
Your lot keep people's anger and blood pressure up so they will keep on shelling out the money. I wonder how many of them have any idea how this money they give the CPC is spent? Private school tuition, for example... 3/10
That you are good at squeezing money out of people in no way makes you a good leader. It may make you a good salesman, or con artist... 4/10
...but it has nothing to do with diplomatic skills, decision-making acumen, ability to collaborate, compassion, empathy... all of which are important leadership characteristics. 5/10
The fact that you feel the need to broadcast this gives the impression that money occupies a disproportionately elevated place in your consciousness. And that you feel money is the most important thing to your supporters. 6/10
This would fit well with your party's penchant for cutting services, particularly those that benefit the poor, while tossing boutique tax credits to those who are already doing quite well. 7/10
Few people, on their deathbed, will be obsessing over how much money they made. People, relationships, kindness, good will... these are the things that really matter. That appears to be lost on you. 8/10
I really believe that many Canadians are increasingly concerned about the wealth inequality that is growing in our society. We need a government that will take measures to combat that, not exacerbate it. 9/10
In this context, boasting about how much more money you have persuaded people to give you, and how fast they forked it over, is really not a good look. Perhaps it indicates you are a popular choice. Then again, maybe it just means you are really good at working the "marks". 10/10
