As the US Senate elections near, Canadian corporations are on the push to fund United States political parties. By funding Political Action Committees (PACs), companies are able to provide that party with more ammunition to win the vote of Americans, in the state. In order to secure a better future for their business, corporations are tying thousands, sometimes millions, of dollars to these political party’s. By funding their campaign, these corporations hope to use the American political system to better their company.  PACs can only be funded by individuals, not the corporations themselves, with anonymity being a key component in the formation of these accounts. Shareholders of these corporations are, in turn, left in the dark, with little knowledge, or voice of how their investment will turn out. The formation of PACs, as highlighted in The Globe and Mail, shows the increasing reliance of large corporations on governments.
