Martin, Seeing a comment about Poilievre's $1725 per ticket fundraiser made me wonder how much of the CPC income is not received as tax-deductible political contributions (which are subject to limits) but instead as tax-deductible business or self-employment expenses (which are not).
This strikes me as a pretty massive loophole in our political funding rules.
And yes, I know that technically our Income Tax rules would not permit the expensing of these tickets, but fraud happens.
