Why is G + M not reporting that BC has strict, legislatively-imposed limits on spending by individual political parties during provincial elections??

Section 198 of BC's Election Act is unequivocal:
http://www.bclaws.ca/Recon/document/ID/freeside/96106_00 - 

"198) Election expenses limit for registered political parties

"(1) In respect of a general election, the total value of election expenses incurred by a registered political party during the campaign period must not exceed $4.4 million..."

Establishing a system of state-funding for political parties would be an outrage: 

It would be a flagrantly un-constitutional  for taxpayers to be, in effect, "forced" to pay for the administrative operations of a political party (during & outside of elections) that advocates/promotes views that violate taxpayers' consciences & or beliefs.

Corporations are the prime generators of wealth & positive progress.

Their donations to political parties should not be prohibited!!
