Good point @Layla4.  

A good example is Raymond Chan here in Richmond, who has the ear of donors from the Chinese community, and the ear of the Feds.  His wife is now a special adviser to Trudeau. 

There have been ongoing fundraising allegations raised by some in the Chinese community, and the concentration of power in one couple.

(Anyone interested will have to look online, as mentioning here may delete this post.)

But yes, it is not the $1,500 per person, it is the power of those who can marshal multitudes of those donations.
