Mired in debt, BC United party struggles to fundraise

BC United, the once-ruling party of British Columbia that abruptly folded the campaign just before this fall’s election, is begging for money to clear a mountain of debt after having left its candidates without the means to pay their campaign expenses.A leaked document on party letterhead obtained by The Globe and Mail reveals BC United has declared a crisis and is worried about facing lawsuits from its debtors. It is still operating with a large overhead that far exceeds the current trickle of donations.
