Fair point, I assumed we were talking about US even though that wasn’t strictly specified. I’m not Canadian so you probably know more than I would, but I’m pretty sure Canada has it’s own systemic problems.

Sure, but I don’t think our donation rules are big systematic problems. Our rules don’t allow donations from foreign sources or companies, and include pretty reasonable limits for individuals (plus 75% of political donations are refunded next tax year). We have definitely had donation scandals, but they’ve almost exclusively been because people are breaking the rules.
