The third quarter fundraising totals have been released by Elections Canada—Alice Funke has the details—and the Conservatives have won their 27th consecutive quarter. The $3.4 million they raised in the third quarter of 2013 is in line with what they raised in the third quarter of 2012.

But for the second-straight quarter, the Liberals claimed more total donors. And before that happened in the last quarter, the Conservatives had not failed to win that metric even once over the last eight years.
