There are large pools of money available. 

Biggest - paying health care for Canadians who are capable of paying their own way. 

Also big - tax breaks. Any number of finance mechanisms including TFSAs and RRSPs and "charities". Tax breaks are anti-democratic since users must not lobby government otherwise they lose their breaks.

Further - do Canadian really need a bribe to give to charity? Do away with the bribe of a tax break and abuse disappears.
