There was also that whole budget update without any sizeable economic stimulus thing. Losing the per-vote money would have made them a lot more ineffective at getting their message out, but they still receive some donation money and therefore would continue to be able to operate without the per-vote money were it gone. All the parties involved raise funds themselves, just not all their funds.
In your opinion, hence the false dichotomy. I see the money as providing value to Canadians. Are doctors leeching off the taxpayer's back?
