I think you are reading way too much into this. It could be way worse... like the Liberal fundraising plight.
Quote:
Special Liberal fundraising events have so far failed to put much of a dent in the almost $4 million in debts racked up by 11 former leadership contenders.
The first event in Halifax two weeks ago -- a tail reception featuring Leader Stephane Dion and six of his erstwhile rivals -- attracted about 60 people who paid $250 each. After expenses, however, party insiders say the event netted only about $5,400.

A similar event in Ottawa a couple of days later was somewhat more successful, attracting about 100 people at $250 a head. It's not clear how much money was cleared after expenses or how much went to each of the seven candidates who attended.
Senator Marie Poulin, the party's president, said the final numbers have not yet been tallied for either event.
Still, they were enough of a bust that two similar fundraisers planned for Toronto the following week were cancelled.
