Kritiker warnen: „Liberales Schlupfloch wird es ermöglichen, Wahlwerbung mit dunklem Geld zu finanzieren“.

This new elections bill creates a dark-money loophole that lets wealthy donors secretly bankroll third-party election ads by giving money well before an election is called. A proposed fix was voted down by Liberal MPs.

The bill also rolls back Trudeau-era fundraising transparency rules, allowing leaders like Carney and Poilievre to attend fundraisers at undisclosed locations until after the events take place.
