RelatedThe Conservative government in which Oliver served budgeted millions of extra dollars for investigating political activities as a special project — perhaps because they too believed that this would be a way of shutting down obnoxious Green-Peacey enviros. It’s hard to say precisely what impact these political activities audits had since most charities don’t like to talk about the fact that they’re being audited. When I wrote a newspaper column two years ago on this subject of the limiting nature of the CRA’s definition of political activities, I thought twice before publishing it. The same could be true for a human rights charity advocating an end to laws permitting slavery. I can’t agree with Oliver that changing that would be a bad thing.
