Can you talk anyone on the mainstream media to have a look or even give it a mention? Cause until they start spouting about something, us rednecks can bleat til we're red in the face and nothing will happen. The bleeding hearts and criminals of humanity won't ever be brought to account

Elon says it best. "We are the Media Now".

I've done my part, your turn to share the information.

“I’m from the government and I’m here to help”. Ronald Reagans famous quote about never trusting the government ring’s truer today than ever. They’re fully onboard to help their selected lobbyists and BS charities. Is this the real reason Smith was so protective of the budget surplus? Why kick anything back to the tax paying citizens or cutting the fuel tax for province when they can grease the palms of some scam charity organizations. It’s beyond infuriating. Folks are struggling to keep the lights and heat on, but let’s give a bunch of cash to this pet parachute project! I had some hope for Smith early on but now it’s just.. Meet the new boss, the same as the old boss. Nothing ever really changes does it…

Wouldn't be surprised if a nice chunk got funneled back to politicians.

This is sickening… I wonder what a further dig into the charities would find?

O believe what they are saying is that the total combined charity revenue is ~41 billion and that the total government revenue for Alberta province is about 74% of that amount, roughly 30.5 billion or whatever. There is no way a government yearly operating revenue is going to mostly be spent on charities. It's mostly spent on public services and government employee salaries. You can't assume that charity donations come from government monies either. The informational picture you include compares charity revenues government revenues but I don't think they are saying that the two total revenues are directly related, it's more a comparison and saying that the charities have more total revenue than government itself does

Here is a response from a friend who works at the UofA....

'see this is the charity non profits my boss wants and the doctors have and then apply for grants to Gvt/UCP to build yacht clubs'

Private non profits that you damn well sure we are not invited to join.
