Mike Schreiner made some interesting comments. If a system of fundraising which does not rely on corporate and union donations, works in Alberta, Manitoba and other provinces and also for the federal government, you have to wonder why such a system is resisted in Ontario? Clearly political parties want to build their election war chests, but come election time, no amount of money will offset public concerns if big donors continue to win big favours.
