Not sure how NDP will manage Unions help
"The Manitoba government proposed a law today that would ban corporations and unions from contributing to the campaigns of candidates in municipal elections"

Good idea to remove all companies from making donations and to fund everything through the government.
In the U.S. the senators and Congressmen continually fund raise, and end up owing their vote to whomever has made contributions. The Gun lobby is such that if you go against the right to own and shoot people, you have no chance at re-election!

The NDP must have figured out how to have the unions do an end run on the legislation, otherwisw they wouldn't have introduced it. The Nippers will starve without union $$.

what I dont get about the proposed legislation is that it limits Candidates own funds that they can contribute. That makes no sense. A candidate should be able to spend as much of his/her own money as they want. Even if they are a billionaire.
