Let’s talk political financing. Political contribution limits. A dollar sign inside a cartoon speech bubble.

There are rules on who can donate to political entities and how much they can give. These rules help to level the political playing field and limit the influence of money in politics. Limits increase on January 1 each year. Find the limits for 2026 here: www.elections.ca/content.aspx...
