FINALLY...
The Canada Revenue Agency is currently conducting extensive audits on
some of Canada's most prominent environmental groups to determine if
they comply with guidelines that restrict political advocacy, CBC News
has learned.
If the CRA rules that the groups exceeded those limits, their
charitable status could be revoked, which would effectively shut them
down.
[...]
The list of groups CBC has now confirmed are undergoing audits reads
like a who's who in the environmental charity world. They include:
The David Suzuki Foundation
Tides Canada
West Coast Environmental Law
The Pembina Foundation
Environmental Defence
Equiterre
Ecology Action Centre
"This is a war against the sector," says John Bennett, of Sierra Club Canada.
Scorched earth, baby.
