How come if a private individual evades taxes, that is considered a crime, whereas, if an enviro group that deliberately does it, they are deemed a 'political enemy'?

Prosecuting tax evaders is fine. The government telling an enforcement agency to prosecute only tax evaders that don't support their party is not fine. It's wayyyy beyond fine.

All the same, you shouldn't use the machinery of the state to go after your political enemies. I hear right-wingers complaining that politicians today are so slef-serving, and this is a primary example of it. When you are directing your enforcement agencies about who they should target, you are crossing the line.

I agree there is a problem with politics and charities. But it is by no means limited to environmental activists. All these so-called "think tanks" are really just advocacy groups who skirt the definition of "politics" by not naming names. Why not restrict the definition of charity to those that are materially perfromaing charitable acts, not loudmouthing to the media.

You use the machinery of the state to go after law breakers.

If these charities (Tides, PEN, the Sierras Club et al) are engaged in political activity they are stealing from the government.

Or perhaps you think my donations to the National Firearms Association should be tax deductable?

Actually, I agree far too many organizations have tax deductable status.

Well you know as I said you have to start to think for yourself , I do notice that there is no come back against the facts because you with even your limited knowledge can't defend the indefensible.
I would love to stay and see you defend Adolf Harper all day but I have a job to do . You keep repeating Harper had a reason for killing other than votes...Harper had a reason for killing other than votes then click your heals together three times and wait no sorry your still a flying monkey.

Sonny, I've been thinking for myself for more than half a century.

Trudeau supporters aren't thinking at all.

Obviously, if you are going to make Hitler comparisons, you have no clue. None. Ziltch. You are not even in the same dimension as a clue.

It's a fundamental tenet of justice that it should be blind. Fundamental. As an analogy, no one would think it was fair if police only stopped peopoe with a "Save the Whales" bumper sticker at a road stop.

Do you have some specific allegation about a right wing charity involved in political activity? Or of some political bias in enforcing the law?

Do tell, because if you do have some evidence of bias, it is outrageous. On either side. Despite the fact "progressive" "charities" are busily trying to break the back of our economy, leave our people poor and unemployed, and shift our wealth to China.......

Because the only people I know of that have been accused of laundering US money are Tides.

The point is that is seems to be only the left that is heavily involved in direct political action while claiming charity status.

It isn't genocide, it's merely a change in theopolitical direction.

Which reminds me, where do we drop off the toques I want to donate?

So much for the responsibility to protect. Justin Trudeau says our role is to give genocide victims cold weather tips

You know, the more I think about this the angrier I get.

These people are being butchered by satanic lunatics, and this moron wants to send them parkas to wear in hell.

He is like an overly idealistic middle-school girl. It is sickening to watch.

His father, whom I loathed, must be rolling in his grave. Because, as bad as Trudeau Sr, was, there is one word that completely describes Justin that could never be applied to his father..........and that word is

PATHETIC

And if we, as Canadians, are idiotic enough to elect the Liberals to gov't under the leadership of this useless man-child, we might just as well re-name Canada to something more realistic: Pathetica.

EDMONTON — Never mind airstrikes. Victims of ISIS just need warm cocoa and woolen touques, Liberal Leader Justin Trudeau suggested to a crowd in Edmonton on Thursday.
Trudeau, who opposes Canada's part in airstrikes on Islamic States targets in Iraq, says we'd be more helpful offering “cold winter” advice for victims of the militants.
“There's a lot of people, refugees, displaced peoples, fleeing violence who are facing a very, very cold winter in the mountains. Something Canada has expertise on is how to face a winter in the mountains with the right kind of equipment," Trudeau said.
Since Oct. 28, Canada has had six CF-18 Hornet fighters, in Kuwait, as well as a CC-150 Polaris tanker and two CP-140 Aurora surveillance aircraft being supported by almost 600 military personnel on the ground.
The planes have made several sorties into Iraq as part of an international airstrike campaign to stem the tide of ISIS militants marching through the country.

and people are suggesting we elect his party so that he can be leader of this country. Every day he shows more and more how much of an idiot he is.

what involvement do you classify the Fraser Institute being into? Or the C.D. Howe Institute... the Macdonald-Laurier Institute... Focus on the Family... the Atlantic Institute for Market Studies... the Montreal Economic Institute... the Canadian Constitution Foundation... the Energy Probe Research Foundation... the Frontier Centre for Public Policy... the Institute for Canadian Values... etc., etc., etc.. Any audits for these groups? Are these... "friends of the state" as opposed to the Harper Conservative declared "enemies of the state"?

surprising that so many of youse guys would imply helping refugees is just not a worthy undertaking. Imagine! Refugees actually returning to..... Iraq! Not only refugees from Syria but many of the original Iraqi citizens that left Iraq to seek refuge in Syria during Bush's original Folly... notwithstanding refugees of Kurdish origin, Palestinians who were granted asylum by the previous regime, etc.. What, c'mon... none of these peoples are worthy of attention, of assistance?

Hey wally, maybe you should stick to what's actually said, instead of making it up. It makes your posts look stupid and garners you the condemnation that makes you cry like baby.

Just think of the cost savings on your tissue bills alone.

Canada certainly wants to help... It's just that most folks believe that helping in a form that stops the bloodshed and senseless murders is more effective than sending a box of a band-aids when someone is chopped into little pieces

All the advice in the world won't help buddy... Buddy epitomizes the adage; you can't fix stupid
