Money in Politics

The correct term is "lobbying." You don't just walk up to a politician and hand them your cash, you need arrangements and deals.

In Canada we do.

If anyone has a link to Mulclair's bants over not having to pay 10k to ask Trudope a question, that would be great.

usually you make a "donation" which is accompanied by legislation that you have written that you want introduced and referred to committee in a favorable way.

Confirmed. 10K in Canada will buy you 'face time' with a politician. Basically, you get to attend a dinner in which the politician (say, the Premier of Ontario) is present. You'll get a little 2-5 minute chat at your table.
