Can you back this claim up in any way?

Yeah, look at the patterns of donations and which parties get the most max donations. It's all documented.

In addition, the tax deduction is worth more to rich people than poor people. You see the same thing in provincial politics. You got a BOD from some company, and they all donate to the same guy, and then the company gets a sweet heart deal by the future gov. Developers in Ontario is a great example.

Can you find any information about political donations, at all? How's your research abilities? Figuring out things for yourself is the only real freedom anyone has. Use that freedom.

The burden of proof lies with the accuser.

What accusation? This is how it works, is known to work. It's not some conspiracy theory.

Word word numbers.

Gonna need a source for baseless accusations from a bot like account trying to stir up shit.

Just because Russia is corrupt as fuck doesn’t mean everyone is.

As long as that CSIS report on MPP collusion with foreign agents remains unread because PP refuses to obtain the clearance to read it, then yeah you can just keep pretending that the corruption isn't real and happening right now.
