I've asked Canada Revenue Agency about this issue before, they won't comment on the activities of individual charities due to the "confidentiality provisions of the Income Tax Act"

They note the public can report charities suspected of non-compliant activities here:

⚡️ Russia says Trump-Putin 'strong' Ukraine peace momentum 'exhausted' as talks stall.

"The strong momentum created in Anchorage toward reaching agreements has been largely exhausted due to the efforts of opponents... primarily among Europeans," Russian Deputy Foreign Minister Sergei Ryabkov said.

We are now getting very close to him committing Treason. Saying that you are going to end rule of law in America if a judge does not rule your way is a threat against the U.S. as serious as any foreign incursion—and indeed would be considerably more ruinous to the nation he swore an oath to protect.

It’s important to say if you ever find an injured bird of prey, you should always contact your local wildlife charity / rehab centre before handling them.

That option wasn’t immediately available to us, but as soon as we found a professional willing to help, they were involved each step of the way.

Six weeks ago, I picked up a year-old tawny owl with a broken leg off the main road near our home and dropped him off at our nearest vet.

After a few days, I received one of the most bizarre phone calls I’ve ever had, asking “So when are you coming to pick up your owl?” 🧵

The Canadian book industry definitely needs the post office. Among other things, Canada Post is usually the most cost effective way to send review copies or for independent presses to ship direct orders to readers. #CanLit

This is due to a law signed by Ronald Reagan and has nothing to do with this shutdown fight.

But consider this...

Emergency Medicaid spending in 2023 cost $3.8 billion — just 0.4% of total Medicaid spending.

Now what about the $20 billion taxpayers are giving to Argentina?
