The Ontario Liberals have introduced campaign finance legislation aimed at curbing the influence of big money on politics, but have decided not to put any restrictions on the private cash-for-access fundraisers that started the uproar over political donations in the first place.

The new law will also allow donors to give more than $10,000 in some years and make it hard to track whether corporations are illegally paying employees to donate on their bosses’ behalf.

^ The law is still being drafted by reps from all three parties (which BTW is so refreshing to see at QP!)

Even as presented it's a big improvement.

Very happy to find out they're banning the donations for municipalities... Ottawa could really use that.
