In 2011 the Conservatives spent about $21 million on the election campaign. That is a tiny amount of money for a country of 35 million people. If people actually cared, it would take 10% of Canadian adults contributing 8$ each to match the Conservative financing. The US isn't that different.
The reality is that as long as most people aren't willing to put in the bare minimum of effort nothing is going to change.

Um, no. It is estimated that around
$6 Billion dollars was spent on the last US election.
