All charities get audited regularly. Nobody is being singled out.

There is a real fine line in the way the law is written between what is charity and what is advocacy. If the majority of the money is coming from large US based foundations it is a safe bet it isn't rally a charity.

I would think the minute they critisize the government for doing too much/too little, they have made it political. I doubt somebody just helping animals or the homeless alone would have too much to worry about from RC.

So if the government does something that has a direct and measurable impact on homelessness, you feel charities that deal with homelessness should be mum on the issue? Interesting.

Our local fire association (which is a registered charity) has never been audited. You are wrong.

The rules on what they can do with that status are pretty clear. They can always not declare themselves a charity and then they are free to say what they want.

many others have noted the same thing...pretty easy to understand...be a charity or not be one but don't cry to mommy if you muck about and get caught while masquerading as one with ulterior motives.

Yup. It was incorporated in 1978 (I believe) so it's closing in on 40 years. It's probably due. Everything is above board so we welcome it. Maybe we should hang a picture of Justin on the front of the building so we can get it over with sooner rather than later.

On a related note, I think people tend to confuse government, politics and bureaucracy. They are not synonymous.

Is that any way to talk about someone who gives your penny whistle a toot?

I'm confused about the punctuation. I mean, is he calling me a cocksucker because one would think that would require a comma between "lying" and "cocksucker".....or perhaps "cocksucker" is now his signature, you know, instead of....


quit ****in lying

Effectively, they've put a gag on us," he said in an interview, noting that the letter arrived just after the club had written directly to two federal cabinet ministers to complain about government-approved chemicals that damage bee colonies.

now that is not what I thought they meant by partisan behaviour

More muzzling. It's what they do.

So what's your definition of regularly? Since there is over 80,000 charities in canada, CRA would have to audit close to 170/week just to hit everyone of them every ten years.

How many auditors do you think they have? Do you think they are capable of achieving a ten year cycle and is that regular enough for you?

The CRA is secret about who it audits. They say they are not targeting charities that are critical of Harper, but they don't really have any evidence to back that up.

To me, charity is about feeding the hungry and housing the homeless. Half these organizations don't do anything charitabler. They're staffed by staffed by economists. Granted, eocnomists can't find woprk in the real world, so employing them is a form of charity I guess. But still.

What is the name of your alleged fire hall? We can look up the yearly financial statement that are publicly available on the CRA site.
