text: Concerning all this hullabaloo over fund raisers etc. Jean Chretien did the right thing. He made political contributions completely a-political and funded from taxes by a small, per vote cash benefit to the parties. But, that wasn't good enough for Harper, who, thinking of the mess that they had created on political donations in Alberta figured that he would re-create it Nationally. Enough evidence is in to prove that neither corporations nor unions nor any large money donations should be allowed.
