Craig Burley is Unhappy about a recent CRA advisory on registered charities and partisan political activities, which advisory includes the following gem:
When a charity invites comments on its website, blogs, or on social media, it should monitor them for partisan political statements and remove, edit, or moderate such statements within a reasonable time.
There’s got to be a Charter challenge in their somewhere.
Anyway, I can’t blame Craig for being incensed. The idea that charities must police their own message boards to ensure they reflect, not the free speech of interested parties, but the sanitized version demanded by the CRA (or its political masters) would be mere nonsense if weren’t also insidious.
