I just submitted my application package to the Leadership Committee of the Liberal Party of Canada.
Hopefully, it will be processed within a day or two and then forwarded to Elections Canada to officially declare me as a candidate for the Leadership Contest. https://t.co/k1V3YU9X48

Candidates have until Thursday at 5 p.m. to get their deposit in, along with a written nomination with signatures of 300 registered Liberals.

Karina Gould is planning on getting her papers and deposit in by the deadline, while Chrystia Freeland's campaign did not respond to inquiries.

Two more candidates also declared their intention to enter the race today, including former Brampton MP Ruby Dhalla.

Also in the race now is Michael Clark, a self-described Christian community organizer and businessman who is campaigning to "make the party pro-life."
