There are no limits for election spending for any party. The Liberals and Conservatives have big election funds because wealthy people who want favours from them buy the politicians But wealthy people do not fund the NDP or other parties because they're honest and refuse to accept that bribe money.
Look. This has been going on for a long, long time. It's not new and it's certainly not a secret
Anything big money wants, it gets. Any honest party has to lie on the contributions from you and me - and those are much, much smaller.
So it is that Trudeau gave several billions of dollars to the owners of Alberta oil wells. So it is that the Conservative government of Alberta is not going to place any limits or changes to whatever the oil barons want to do. (And this somes from the Justin Trudeau who, much earlier ran on a platform that included closing down on Alberta oil. So it is that we've sent Canadians to fight in places they had no business to be - Korea, Afghanistan, Libya(which we bombed to make Americans happy), Latin America where Canadian diplomats are used to serve the interests of the American wealthy, Syria where we have no business being.....
The Liberals and Conservatives dominate CAnadian politics because they have all that money that they get under the table. It comes as gifts for useful politicians and for election money. The same is true in the U.S.
When the British were busy murdering 400 million people all over the world, this was done to please the British capitalists who could now plunder those countries. The British people got nothing out of it. Soldiers and sailors were simply dumped on the streets when they were no longer useful. Most of the British people had to live in unspeakably vile conditions,deap in poverty and wretchedness. The bulk of the children had to work long days (up to 15 hous a day) for pennies while the young Winston Churchill got to go to a very posh school, and to enter the army as an officer. Children of five were lowered down chimneys to clean them. My Scottish grandmother lived Glascow in a large apartment building with some 50 people in it. There was one toilet and one bath tube downstairs for the whole building. May homes had no toilets at all - and fields had to make do. In Toronto about 1870 a teenage boy was working on a large belt driven lathe. (I worked on one of those in my teens. It was dangerous and frightening.) the machine in Toronto broke down, ripping lose the great belt that ran it. it took off the boy's arm. He was immediately fired and sent home - on foot. The company had no further responsibility.
The rich of Britain swam in wealth and prosperity. The poor, who were far the worst off of the population, lived in misery and died young.
The same was true in the U.S. - despite the sign on the statue of Liberty at New York about how the U.S. welcomed immigrants. (In fact, the sign, though still quoted to this day lasted only few years. And the immigrants? women had to work long hours for almost no pay. And the death rate was high - especially for those who worked in, say, multiple story flats with doors locked, flats that frequently could not control fires and which offered no way out. This happened many times.
We're repeating this, perhaps even worse with street people.
And the Christian churches did - and are doing?????
