Ending corporate and union donations is not a money item so would not be in the budget, instead this would be in the throne speech.  If the BC Liberals don't include this in the throne speech, the Greens will most certainly defeat it.  I suspect they will bite the bullet on this and include it.  They have ties with many people in the federal Tories and federal Liberals who have managed their parties fine without them as well as with social media today, I think the effect of donations is overrated.  If money is what mattered Harper would still be PM, PCs will still be in power in Alberta, and Hillary Clinton would be president.  Big money mattered more in the age before the social media and one could only advertise through traditional media.
