Gate News message, April 27 — Canada’s “Strong Free Elections Act” (Bill C-25) passed a principle vote in the House of Commons and was referred to committee for detailed review. The bill, which received cross-party support with minimal substantive opposition, proposes to prohibit donations in cryptocurrency to federal political campaigns. Violators must return or forfeit non-compliant donations to the treasury within 30 days.
Canada has technically allowed crypto donations since 2019, though no major political party has publicly accepted them. The legislation aims to close this loophole and establish a uniform standard for campaign financing.
