7. Fun fact, Elections Alberta posts separate totals for small donations (under $250.01). The #ABNDP raised almost as much in small donations ($759K) this quarter as the #UCP raised in small and large donations combined ($770K).

8. As impressive as today’s #abpoli fundraising numbers are, this makes it even more so.
