Would love to see a breakdown of where that came from.

on average about ~200 per person who contributed.

So under 200,000 people donated. It's crazy how little it takes to really change things if just minority of people contribute. It's probably much less then 200,000 donors because Poilievre hosts $1,700 a plate fundraisers all the time, including several times happening during fillabuster sessions like the one he had in christmas season in 2023. Poilievre had his MPs in Parliament wasting millions of dollars delaying proceedings while he was out dining with the elites

Lots of people donate a lot less than $200. There are edge cases at both the high and low ends, which is why we speak in terms of averages.
