David Suzuki resigns to save foundation from ‘bully’ charitable status threats
Canadian environmentalist David Suzuki has stepped down from the board of his foundation over fears his political views could put its charitable status at risk as Ottawa cracks down on organizations deemed to be too politically active.
In a letter to his supporters on Friday, the former Nature of Things host said he left the David Suzuki Foundation’s board of directors because he wanted to be able to speak freely “without fear that my words will be deemed too political and harm the organization of which I am so proud.”
The March 30 budget said charities would soon have to report more information about their political activities and sources of foreign funding.
They’d also have to limit spending on advocacy to 10% of their budget.
