A Canadian journalism community for independent news, reports, blogs, editorials, and whatever.

*Independent journalism is generally free from government and corporate interests, and not controlled by a major media conglomerate. “Independence” is a gradient, so use your best judgement when posting.

*Current depends on whether new, publicly available information has been released since the article has last been updated. When in doubt, add the publishing or last revision date to the title in a tag [like this.]

Check out !Independent_Media@lemmy.today for independent news from around the world.

Or go to !wildfeed@sh.itjust.works for a less serious, anything-goes news community

All communities were created with the goal of increasing media literacy and media pluralism.

Though many third parties are active year-round, Elections Canada’s financial disclosure requirements only apply during an election period, which lasts between 37 days and 51 days, when an election doesn’t take place on a fixed date.

“There's no pre-election disclosure or registration,” Conacher said. “So, we actually have a worse dark money problem in Canada than they do in the U.S.”

“We don't regulate spending in between elections and have any disclosures. Whereas in the U.S. during election year, they do actually have that disclosure,” he said.

Canada Strong and Proud spent up to $581,044 on political ads placed on Meta platforms in 2025. Only about $290,000 was spent during the official federal campaign period and is subject to reporting requirements. To date, the sources of just $750 in contributions have been disclosed to Elections Canada.
