All NDP MLAs are found in the disclosure statement. Only 10 NDP MLAs donated less than $1,000, the smallest donation being $650 (ahead of more than half of the Liberals). Adrian Dix (MLA for Vancouver-Kingsway) was the most generous in supporting his party with $4,745 in donations. The average annual total donation from an NDP MLA was $1,274.88.
The Liberals rely so heavily on business to finance their party that they don't make much effort to personally contribute. As far as the leaders go, the disclosure statements show that Gordon Campbell donated a total of $800 during 2006; Carole James donated $1,200.

as well as other parties; there seems to be a strange trend towards those who
seek power, and how little they invest their own money in these systems. It
reminds me of when someone told me that rich people don't invest their own
money in their get rich schemes, they either borrow it or use someone else's
money. The risk is less and the return is huge.
If I was examining a party to see how committed people were to the cause, I
would examine the donations list before I joined the party. It is easy to see if
they are investing in the party or using it to benefit their personal agenda;
whether it is simply a soapbox or a way to improve the lives of others. Not
only would I want to know who was behind the party, because whoever is
funding it is controlling it, but also I would want to know how the donations
were spent. Lessons learned the hard way, but just the same a very valuable
lesson. I wonder if members of the major parties know those facts, or if they
care?
