The main objective of the Alberta Public Inquiry into Anti-Alberta Energy Campaigns was to examine foreign funding of anti-Alberta energy campaigns. The inquiry revealed significant investments by foreign organizations, as well as various levels of government, into Canadian not-for-profit and charitable organizations. In 2018 alone, foreign funding of Canadian charities amounted to $2.4 billion!
Surprisingly, this finding did not attract nearly as much attention from the media or politicians as the alleged foreign funding of the recent Freedom Convoy.
I also found significant and growing contributions by the federal government and various provincial governments to charitable organizations, which also ought to be a source of concern for Canadians and for which governments should be held accountable.
