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.

La logique d'être un parti politique qui ne veux pas d'argent du gouvernement.

 @9HNB4HTfrom Alberta answered…4mos4MO

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.

 @9GPTJ2Dfrom British Columbia answered…6mos6MO

Yes, but only a modest amount to equalize campaigning strategies during elections - and ban all private funding / donations.

 @96K3HXPfrom Ontario answered…2yrs2Y

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.

 @9397NT2from Ontario answered…2yrs2Y

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.

 @937LMWDfrom British Columbia answered…2yrs2Y

yes, the amount being the same per riding/per individual and no more donations to parties.

 @937H36Jfrom British Columbia answered…2yrs2Y

Each party should be given a maximum budget and free access and equal time and time slots on the CBC,

They should have to work for it and apply for grants even as to learn to better advertise their campaign.

 @9FWW5GBfrom Ontario answered…7mos7MO

Depends on the reasoning and support. They should all have equal opportunities to receive funding that can be increased by how the population feels.

 @9FJSRV9from Ontario answered…7mos7MO

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.

 @9CD6GVVfrom Alberta answered…10mos10MO

Yes, only if they apply for grants and get equal amounts. The other funding can come from their members.

 @9C656B3from Alberta answered…11mos11MO

 @9BFYB98from Ontario answered…1yr1Y

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.

 @995WHT5from Ontario answered…1yr1Y

Yes, so that parties don't rely on outside sources from companies that may not have the peoples ideals in mind

 @98FPFSYLiberalfrom British Columbia answered…1yr1Y

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.

 @97T4JZCConservativefrom Ontario answered…1yr1Y

 @92JJNYMfrom Ontario answered…2yrs2Y

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.

 @8Y85WN9from Alberta answered…2yrs2Y

the amount should be equal among parties, capped, and there should be more restrictions and transparency.

 @8WTXTQ8from Saskatchewan answered…2yrs2Y

Yes, but only if they are not allowed to raise campaign money and all receive the same amount

 @8VCMRKGfrom Ontario answered…3yrs3Y

Election funding should only come from government money, based on party membership. Private contributions should be prohibited.

 @93DGL8Wfrom British Columbia answered…2yrs2Y

yes, but they have to receive the money that proportional to the amount of they spend time to work

 @939CBKTfrom Ontario answered…2yrs2Y

only if everyone gets the same amount of money and it is used ONLY for campaign purposes

 @8VBYPRHGreenfrom Ontario answered…3yrs3Y

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

 @8V3QRC3Liberalfrom Ontario answered…3yrs3Y

Political funding should be spread evenly from all donations across the board to certified parties.

 @8V3FZKGNew Democraticfrom Ontario answered…3yrs3Y

Yes, as long as every party receives the same and they don’t receive private funding

 @Canadian1from Ontario answered…3yrs3Y

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!

 @8TY2F6Hfrom Ontario answered…3yrs3Y

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

 @8TVBZK7from British Columbia answered…3yrs3Y

All political advertising should be state run and all incumbents should be non-partisan.

 @SimonSaysGoNowfrom Alberta answered…2yrs2Y

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

 @8VXFCQLfrom Alberta answered…3yrs3Y

 @8V9NNNRNew Democraticfrom Ontario answered…3yrs3Y

Yes, and that should be their only funding, with restrictions and transparency on how money is spent.

 @8V6CGWXfrom British Columbia answered…3yrs3Y

Yes, but everyone should know in detail where they got their money and how they spent it.

 @8VJ8ZRDfrom Ontario answered…3yrs3Y

 @8TD3M54from Alberta answered…3yrs3Y

They money should go to candidates that cannot fund it themselves and not the ones that can

 @8SJXC3VNew Democraticfrom Ontario answered…3yrs3Y

Candidates under the poverty line should have the option to run. The government should assist do lower income voices can be heard.
