I would say yes, because it's a form of transparency and encouraging ethical campaigning, but also not letting mega billionaires run and donate to different parties/and influence their policy, and it also gives smaller parties a chance to grow, although there should be strings attached/laws to discourage violence, misinformation and anything that could hurt Canadian democracy, and hold people accountable.
@9LCPZKN2wks2W
La logique d'être un parti politique qui ne veux pas d'argent du gouvernement.
@9HNB4HT4mos4MO
No, if a party cannot sustain itself purely from its members than it has demonstrated it does not have the support of the citizens to continue existing.
@9GPTJ2D6mos6MO
Yes, but only a modest amount to equalize campaigning strategies during elections - and ban all private funding / donations.
@96K3HXP2yrs2Y
Yes, but only if all political parties receive the same amount and there should be more restrictions and transparency on how they spend the money.
@9397NT22yrs2Y
Yes, by directly funding parties from the government, this allows for less influence from pundits and corruption due to politicians being guaranteed their own security.
@937LMWD2yrs2Y
yes, the amount being the same per riding/per individual and no more donations to parties.
@937H36J2yrs2Y
Each party should be given a maximum budget and free access and equal time and time slots on the CBC,
@92274HB2yrs2Y
@8YCW7RY2yrs2Y
Yes, funding from individuals or businesses should be illegal
@8XJ8R6V2yrs2Y
Yes stop the likes of open society from swaying things.
@8X2LCJJ2yrs2Y
Yes, but only the communist party should receive money
@8VSRL9X3yrs3Y
@8VRFDM63yrs3Y
Yes, but It should only be a loan
@8VL5Z863yrs3Y
yes, but only if transparent and given with restrictions.
@9G5RCDK6mos6MO
They should have to work for it and apply for grants even as to learn to better advertise their campaign.
@9FWW5GB7mos7MO
Depends on the reasoning and support. They should all have equal opportunities to receive funding that can be increased by how the population feels.
@9FPMNBM7mos7MO
Yes and disallow all other fundraising
@9FJSRV97mos7MO
Only to provide equal campaigning opportunities, with strict oversight to ensure that the funds are used for that and nothing else. This would ideally be paired with barring donations to political parties from businesses in any form.
@9CD6GVV10mos10MO
Yes, only if they apply for grants and get equal amounts. The other funding can come from their members.
@9C656B311mos11MO
Yes. But regulate and limit these spendings for Campaigns.
@9BFYB981yr1Y
I think each party should have government funding, but not be allowed to exceed that amount so that they all have the same opportunities as each other.
No and party finances should be audited regularly.
@99869DG1yr1Y
Funding should come from both members are some from the government
@995WHT51yr1Y
Yes, so that parties don't rely on outside sources from companies that may not have the peoples ideals in mind
I would say so. We should try our best to get a lot of the wealthy influence out of politics as much as possible, and get back to making decisions which can reflect the will of the majority of the people, while also having more faith in our own policymakers and those we elect to represent us.
@97T4JZCConservative1yr1Y
No, funding should come from grassroots efforts only
@92JJNYM2yrs2Y
Yes, they should each receive the same amount based on how many ridings they have a candidate running in. Additionally, they should not be allowed to receive any money from private donors, unions, or corporations.
@8Y85WN92yrs2Y
the amount should be equal among parties, capped, and there should be more restrictions and transparency.
@8WTXTQ82yrs2Y
Yes, but only if they are not allowed to raise campaign money and all receive the same amount
@8VCMRKG3yrs3Y
Election funding should only come from government money, based on party membership. Private contributions should be prohibited.
@953THJ82yrs2Y
Politics parties shouldn’t exist
@93DGL8W2yrs2Y
yes, but they have to receive the money that proportional to the amount of they spend time to work
@939CBKT2yrs2Y
only if everyone gets the same amount of money and it is used ONLY for campaign purposes
Yes, but only if all political parties receive the same amount and there should be more restrictions and transparency on how they spend the money
Political funding should be spread evenly from all donations across the board to certified parties.
@8V3FZKGNew Democratic3yrs3Y
Yes, as long as every party receives the same and they don’t receive private funding
@Canadian13yrs3Y
All parties should receive the same small amount funding- and the same debate or on air time, including non popular parties that are relatively unfamiliar to the general public. All platforms NEED to be heard in order to get votes. It has been too uneven, which is why we always have the same leaders with large percentile of votes. Time to change this!
@8TY2F6H3yrs3Y
New unknown parties should have introductions to the public, rather than always only allowing three main parties to run. We need more and better options
@8TVBZK73yrs3Y
All political advertising should be state run and all incumbents should be non-partisan.
@SimonSaysGoNow2yrs2Y
Yes all contributions both corporate and private to all political parties should be banned. Each party that meets party standards should be given the same amount to conduct their campaigns and run their parties. And transparency must be part of the commitment
@8VXFCQL3yrs3Y
Smaller parties should and large parties should receive none
@8V9NNNRNew Democratic3yrs3Y
Yes, and that should be their only funding, with restrictions and transparency on how money is spent.
@8V6CGWX3yrs3Y
Yes, but everyone should know in detail where they got their money and how they spent it.
@8VJ8ZRD3yrs3Y
Yes but should be reduced and full transparency on where it's spent
@8TD3M543yrs3Y
They money should go to candidates that cannot fund it themselves and not the ones that can
@8SJXC3VNew Democratic3yrs3Y
Candidates under the poverty line should have the option to run. The government should assist do lower income voices can be heard.
