Who Funds Canadian Politics

Political donations in Canada: every itemised contribution of $200 or more on the Elections Canada record — the donors, the parties and candidates they back, and which of them appear elsewhere on the public record.

Common questions

Who can donate to a federal political party in Canada?

Only individual Canadian citizens and permanent residents. Corporate and union donations to federal parties have been banned since 2007, and there is an annual limit per donor per party — $1,775 in 2026, indexed each year.

Why do I only see donations of $200 or more?

Because that is the itemisation threshold in the Canada Elections Act. Contributions below $200 are reported to Elections Canada as a total, without the donor's name, so no public record of them exists to show.

Are these the same people as the lobbyists and executives on the site?

Sometimes, and where a name matches a person already on the public record here, the profiles are linked. A name match is not proof of identity — Elections Canada publishes a name and a city, not an identifier.

How current is the donation record?

Parties and associations file on quarterly and annual cycles, and candidates file after an election, so a contribution can take several months to appear. Interim returns are also restated by final ones, which is why a figure can change.
