The government is facing multi-billion dollar deficits and rather than raising taxes (like an incompetent government would), they are trying to slice fat from the budget.
Using tax dollars to prop up fringe parties that can't generate their own funding is a huge waste of money. If the NDP/Green/Bloc/Liberals can't generate enough grassroots donations, then maybe that says something about them as parties. Lets not forget, these same "evil" conservatives are the ones who approved the elimination of the massive corporate donation. That surely gave an advantage to the NDP, Green and Bloc.
Why cry now that another measure of fair and efficient practice is brought in that hurts them?
