CP NewsAlert: Spending limits on third-party election ads unconstitutional: top court

By Canadian Press on March 7, 2025.

The Supreme Court of Canada has found an Ontario law that limits spending on third-party election advertising violates the constitutional right to vote.

The country’s highest court dismissed the Ontario government’s appeal with a split 5-4 decision and struck down that part of the law.

More to come.
