Remember that Liberal "Sky's-the-limit" fundraiser back in February?

That was the one, held on Feb. 13, where Liberals were encouraged to bid on various auction items and they could bid as much as they want - the sky was the limit! After this poster raised some eyebrows, it became clear the sky wasn't the limit; Elections Canada does have, in fact, some limits: Namely $1,000 per calendar year.

The Liberals adjusted the rules for the event but, in calls I placed after the event, would not divulge how much was raised for the party.

Now I just crunched the most recent Elections Canada political contributions data and here's what we know:

• On Feb. 13 (the date of the fundraiser), the Liberals declared that eight people donated a combined total of $2,675.
  
• On Feb. 14, there are 9 contributors (not counting those who contributed to a leadership campaign) for a total of $4,300.
  
• On Feb. 15, there are 8 contributors for a total of $3,433.32.
  

And, for fun, here are some notable contributors as I very quickly glanced through the contributors list for the first quarter of this year:

• Author Margaret Atwood donated $1,100.
  
• Liberal MPs Stéphane Dion and Marcel Proulx each donated $1,000; Ken Dryden and Massimo Pacetti each donated $1,100; Francis Scarpaleggia donated $500; Ken Boshcoff, Anthony Rota, Mike Savage, Judy Sgro, Mario Silva, Belinda Stronach, and Tina Keeper each kicked in $250.02; Andy Scott wrote cheques for $300; Nancy Karetak-Lindell donated $250; Bob Rae donated $900 (his brother John was good for $1,100.); Geoff Regan donated $280.02.
  
• Bay Street bigwig Purdy Crawford donated $1,100.
  
• Rocket scientist Jaymie Matthews contributed $1,100.
  
• Liberal whip Karen Redman, who remained officially neutral during the leadership campaign, donated $1,100 to Dion's campaign.
  
• Beer baron John Sleeman donated $1,000.
