Here are some things we have in Canada that make our elections different.
- Spending caps. Candidates and parties have a limit on how much they can spend.
- Only individuals can donate -- no corporations or other entities.
- Donors have donation limits
- Third parties also have spending limits
- Public reimbursement for election spending
