According to the Globe and Mail “An environmental charity at the centre of controversy surrounding political activism and foreign donations is taking the rare step of releasing a detailed account of grant recipients and international donors in an effort to stem attacks by Conservative politicians.” It will be interesting to see how much this disclosure adds to the disclosure that TIDES US has already made which I discussed in March.
Here is my March 2012 posting https://www.canadiancharitylaw.ca/blog/tides_us_2010_form_990_-_an_example_of_transparency_in_action/
In the article Ross McMillan said “We really wanted to send a clear message to our critics that we have nothing to hide in our work, and we’re very proud of the charitable initiatives that we support right across the country.”
The Globe and Mail article “In Harper’s crosshairs, green group opens books on foreign donors” is at: http://www.theglobeandmail.com/news/politics/in-harpers-crosshairs-green-group-opens-books-on-foreign-donors/article4372867/
I will be at the Economic Club of Canada today to listen to his speech.
