The right-wing Facebook-based group Ontario Proud raised over half a million dollars during the Ontario election, financial disclosures show.

Private individuals donated about $53,000, mostly in amounts in the low three figures, but corporations gave about $460,000. Some large donations from developers stand out, notably $100,000 from Mattamy Homes, a Toronto-based residential developer.

"We got so much money in the end that we weren't able to spend it all," says the site's founder, Jeff Ballingall.
