Alberta passes bill banning corporate and union donations | Globalnews.ca


Wow.
Did not see this one coming.

better late than never i guess

wow, who gives a shit.

:crazy2:

?? It is actually quite a serious topic. If union and corporate donations are banned in context with political parties, will and should they be banned in other 'public' institutions? In Surrey, a year or two ago, the school board rejected a significant donation offer from an energy(related) corporation where apparently computer classes would be more modernized in a sense. As a parent having some choice, this is significant.

There is some social value created in where this money comes from. It does get a wee bit annoying when sometimes, literally, basically a computer does all the work.

Orange is the new ________________

In other news, Alberta will allow the formation of US-style Political Action Commitees (PACs). Don't worry, the rich and powerful will always find a loophole to get theirs :smug:

For the uninformed:

Prime minister?s friends set up political action committee to battle the left as federal election looms

The right-leaning Conservative PAC Foundation, established last week, is a direct response to the left-leaning organization Engage Canada, which released its first anti-Harper attack ad earlier this month.

So basically everyone is rich and powerful.

waiting for the day US federal politics implements this



......:fuckthatshit:
