contribution limits

Written by Ian Brown on September 21, 2017

$1200 is way too much. I do not know anyone who would donate $1200 to a political party. How about moving soon to $100 as in Quebec. Needs some careful safeguards so bosses can't send their employees off with a pocketful of cash to be donated to the required party.

Official response from submitted

Thank you for your feedback Ian. We agree $100 per individual a year is a more accessible limit, however, during negotiation with the NDP government, $1200 per individual a year was the compromise made between the two parties. 

Here is more on the consultation process from an article in the Globe and Mail: https://beta.theglobeandmail.com/news/british-columbia/horgans-fundraising-policy-reversal-tied-to-greens-insiders-say/article36338684/?ref=http://www.theglobeandmail.com&

    Look for nominee contributions from Corporations or Unions. This should be treated as fraud and punishable by a fine of $5,000, 6 months in jail or both.

    Ian, I earn a good living and contribute $125 month to the Green Party because I believe we need them in the legislature. It’s also an effective way to offset any carbon I create, in Mt opinion
