Last weekend NDP Leader Jagmeet Singh and U.S. congresswoman Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez raised over $200,000 US for charity by livestreaming a game called Among Us on the streaming platform Twitch for nearly six hours.
Among Us is a popular space-murder-mystery multiplayer online game. About 100,000 people watched the livestream.
