I'm always amazed at how little cash it takes to buy a politician. The on-line contribution reports to Nova Scotia political parties only goes back so far as 2005, but here are some numbers of interest:

Contributions to the Progressive Conservatives
2005
Armour Group Limited- $6,823.662006
Ben McCrea- $5002007
Armour Group Limited- $395.65
Ben McCrea- $500

A thousand bucks out of your own pocket, plus seven K and change run through your business, sure does bring in a big return.
