This rebate program kinda rubs me the wrong way. Why in the world would the City rebate contributions up to a maximum of $1000? Funding civic engagement or something? I really don't think we should be paying for campaigns, whether it's Ford's or someone we like.
If there was ever a gravy train...
I agree. I'm surprised the media isn't making more of this. Ford's fundraiser is pretty egregious — collecting money in Vaughn that will be refunded by TO taxpayers. Some respect, eh? But other candidates are probably quietly benefiting from these rules, too. Yuck all round. If the city is going to maintain these generous rebates, the law should be ammended to ensure rebates only go to those eligible to vote in the election. Also, a question: Anybody know if this rebate program under municipal or provincial jurisdiction?
