Hockey wives and abortion

Senators spouses charity gift routed to anti-abortion group

Nov. 30, 2007

The problem is worse than just some hockey fans inadvertently donating to a cause they may oppose — that is a personal issue between a fan and her team (in my case, the Canadiens). What irks is that our tax dollars are involved.

The raffle money is channelled through the Sens Foundation, the team’s registered charity arm, which is matching every dollar raised by The Better Halves.

Not only does the foundation, which normally does good — make that wonderful — things appear to be breaking Revenue Canada’s rules for charities, it is breaking its own rules.

Both the taxman and the foundation agree that donations can only support registered charities. They can’t support “political or lobby” or “advocacy or special interest groups.” And they shouldn’t.

But, of course, this is similar to the abortion issue where one side claims to be pro-life…when really they are anti-choice, and pro-control…as we know, many of these people drop the ball on “life” when it comes to helping adults in need.
