Reply #66: Corporations have virtually NO influence in Canadian politics, for one main reason [View All]

In Canada, party discipline is VERY VERY important. It's not like America where members of congress can basically vote however they like. In Canada, the vast majority of the time you vote with your party or you will be kicked out of your party (No exceptions on important votes). In other words, even if you're a politician who is funded by corporations it won't matter, because those corporations can't sway your vote, you have to vote with your party. On top of this, most of Canada's elections are publicly funded (there is a cap on how much each candidate can spend, and parties get money for each vote they receive, so corporate money is useless anyways).
