The Ontario government has announced a proposal to eliminate fixed election dates as part of a series of reforms that would also increase the cap for political donations to $5,000 and establish permanent public funding for political parties.
Ontario Attorney General Doug Downey announced the proposed changes in an Oct. 27 statement, saying the upcoming legislation would return the province to its roots and do away with “American-style” elections.
