In Canada and other places as well, money has nothing to do with elections. It shouldn't play any part in ours either. We need a Constitutional Amendment to establish public funding for federal campaigns.

Marianne, how are you making these statements. Do you not see the corruption north of the border? When did you abandon your principles and start peddling nonsense?

Fact-check: This is untrue of Canada.
