While you were busy congratulating yourself , you should have actually paid attention to what you were writing. I quote from you, "..that all taxpayers-including the poorest in our society, are forced to pay towards.." News flash Ace, the poor don't pay taxes. Second point, under the old scheme, or voter subsidy, party donations still existed. So the taxpayers, those that pay taxes , subsidized them twice, once by the voter subsidy and once by the tax credit. Thank you for demonstrating so clearly your lack of understanding of the basics of political donations. I refer you once more to the real reason why the Bloc, the Greens and the NDP want a return to the system of voter subsidy. Learn before you speak, next time .
