Of course these are not the final amounts of money spent for the campaigns. To run as a candidate in Federal Election you must have a thousand dollars as an entry fee. Candidates constantly use the choice and carefully chosen words, however the factual background of all the statements is just a venire and fagade to things that never will be a reality. Many of candidates think it is normal and accepted to lie during the elections. No elected politician should remain in the office longer then one term.
True democracy is based on an individual voice, against another individual voice.
Party system is an undemocratic maneuver to gain an advantage over other individual voices. Every one who demises break up of the country should be considered nothing less then the traitor. In our warped sense of understanding and approving un-approvable, we allow the traitors of this country to sit in the House of Parliament to plot and work on break up of Nation's Union. These individuals are given full right of the Canadian Parliament members with all of the perks and pensions. In my days and based on the historical facts they should be leaned against the wall and shot or at least be given life terms of imprisonment.
