careful with your teeth:
to me, perusing some of this data, the surprising thing was how *Ilittle* canadian politics appears to be financially supported. candidates collect thousands, and maybe tens of thousands in funding...but not hundreds and certainly not millions.

Hmm... can anyone point to where the election financing reports and
lobbyist registration data for Canada lives? i'd like to start chewing
on it...
Cheers,
