Canadian Politics Today

I don’t think you’ve made the case that democracy is “worse”.

When did the Conservatives ever take money out of politics federally?

I don't think I was trying to make the case that democracy is 'worse' than other systems but that there is more fighting, and more frustration, and more noise than before.  I concur that it's hard to quantify/qualify that.  But do you disagree ?

I believe the Conservatives, early on, moved to reduce corporate donations as the Liberals were a greater benefactor of those.  I'm working from memory here.
