Have the same contribution rules like Quebec with a maximum of $100 and have the single transferable vote passed that was recommended by a citizens assembly in 2004.

Ban private contributions to political parties. Each party should be given an amount of money from the government to run their campaign. Everyone gets the same amount. Elections should be designed so that they cannot be bought. Also ditch first past the post.
So the Marxist Leninist party, which seldom breaks single digit voting numbers, should get the same as a party capturing ~40ish% of the vote? And the natural law party? And the rhino's? And the Marijuana party? And the people's party?
Sure why not? This is not hard math. Lets say you get x dollars per candidate. If you have candidates running in all ridings you get max cash. If you only have a candidate running in one riding you get much less cash.
BRB, I'm gonna start the "funnel money to my printing business" party.
Ontario used to have a per vote subsidy that I think makes more sense.
