Should political parties receive money from the government?

Public funding discourages politicians from being bought

yes, but they all receive the same amount, there are more restriction and transparency, and it should be reduced

Yes, so long as every party receives the same amount with restrictions and transparency on how they spend that money.

They should all be given the same. No lobbying. No funding beyond individual donations of a maximum of $1000 per year. If they can't run on a budget then they are not going to be able to run the country

Yes, but only if all parties get the same amount AND there should be more restrictions and transparency on how they spend the money.

Every political party should be given the same amount of money, enough to raise candidates for every riding, and all outside political donations should be prohibited. There should be public reports on how every dollar was spent by the parties.

For the most part, yes. I do believe that all official political parties should receive some money from the federal government. I think it should be an equal amount, split across all parties, and then their members can contribute their own money to funding the political party they support.

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.

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

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.

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

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

Yes and disallow all other fundraising

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.

Politics parties shouldn’t exist

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

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

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

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

Funding for what?

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

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

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!

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

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

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

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

yes, but funding is done by the party itself- all parties should get around the same amount (as equal as they can get) and restrictions should be set in place on what they do with the money and the people who help fund should get to know where that money is going/being used

Yes, but only if subsidies support smaller parties

Yes, but only if there is a cap on private funding as well.

funding should mostly come from the party's members but government should adjust things if really needed.

it should be optional, however if a party receives money from the government it should be made public knowledge, and that sum of money will be given to any party that wants it.

No, abolish political parties and seat MPs and Senators according to their political beliefs.

No and party finances should be audited regularly.

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.

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

Yes, but there should be more restrictions and transparency on how they spend the money. In addition, each party should get the same amount.

Yes but should be reduced and full transparency on where it's spent

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

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.

Funding should come from both members are some from the government

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.

No, funding should come from grassroots efforts only

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.

No, but also Yes

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.

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

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

No party’s only leader

Yes, funding from individuals or businesses should be illegal

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

Yes stop the likes of open society from swaying things.

Yes, but only the communist party should receive money

What kind of money?

Abolish money

Yes, but It should only be a loan

yes, but only if transparent and given with restrictions.

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

Yes. But regulate and limit these spendings for Campaigns.

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

Smaller parties should and large parties should receive none

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

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

Party funding should ONLY come from the federal government to ensure money is not a factor in elections.

Only if independent members also receive money

No, we should abolish political parties and require MPs, MPPs and City/Town Councilors to be non-partisan, turn them into "Political Ideology Endorsement Groups" instead.

Yes, but implementing a democracy dollars system would be better

It should be illegal for a (potential or current) politician to receive private funding of any sort, or to profit from his/her position beyond their set wage for that position.
Each (potential or current) politician should have an equal amount of taxpayer provided money provided to them for their wages.
Each (potential or current) politician should have an equal amount of taxpayer provided money with which to campaign for election.
