In Canada, the maximum individual political donation is $5,000. There are no Super PAC-like entities.

It is much more democratic. A Newt in Canada would be much stronger versus a Mitt.

Its a class warfare—big capitalist match set in motion
Obama gone the Market could go “to the Moon” as Gleason would say.
