At last.

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.

CNN Poll Asks: “Is Bush still to blame for the economy?”

Rob Ford, when asked if he would be attending this year’s pride parade in Toronto, said “I’m not going to go to the pride parade. I’ve never been to a pride parade. So I’m not going to change the way I am.”
Uh-oh:

The mayor’s remarks prompted criticism from the public and at least one fellow city councillor — Shelley Carroll — who accused him of “thinly veiled homophobia.”

Helen Kennedy, the executive director of Egale Canada, strongly disagreed with this assessment:

“There’s nothing ‘thinly veiled’ about it. It’s overt homophobia.”

Sure. And refusing to watch Jersey Shore reruns is overt heterophobia.
*Yawn*.

At the Guardian, hands are for wringing:

The attempt to cultivate unrealism, dishonesty and pretentious guilt is a Guardian staple and gives the left’s national organ its distinctive tone. That tinny, unconvincing high-pitched whine. Affecting woe, especially improbable woe, is how many leftwing columnists signal their position in their own moral hierarchy, relative to you. Crudely summarised, it goes something like this: “I am better than you because I pretend to feel worse.”
See, for example, the tearful Theo Hobson, who tells us, emphatically, “There is no excuse for failing to feel liberal guilt about race and class.” Keen to self-emasculate, Mr Hobson also believes that James Bond films do “real harm to the male psyche” while making him feel “embarrassed” and “depressed.” Apparently, the hyperbolical adventures and physical daring of our fictional super-spy are “a big factor in the sexual malfunction of our times; the difficulty we have finding life-long partners, and the normalisation of pornography.”
