This is why, after forming government in 2017. the BC NDP passed a law banning donations to political parties from businesses & unions Only individual citizens can donate to political parties in BC & it makes a difference.
This ban needs to be enacted across Canada.
Ban paid lobbyists, too.

Today is National Indigenous Veterans Day.
This day honours the contributions of the First Nations, Inuit and Metis who served in the Canadian Armed Forces.
They fought for Canada despite being denied rights by the country.
This is the story of some of those veterans.
