In appeal to Muslims, Freeland pledges to scrap controversial CRA division
Should she win the current federal Liberal leadership contest, Chrystia Freeland is pledging to scrap a controversial division of the Canada Revenue Agency that Muslim charities and civil liberties advocates have long accused of discriminatory auditing practices.
The RAD has been criticized by Muslim groups for unfairly targeting their work as it looks for sources of terrorism financing in the country.
“No charity serving Canadians in good faith should operate under a cloud of unwarranted suspicion. There is well-documented evidence from civil society organizations and independent experts suggesting that the Review and Analysis Division has a bias against racialized charities.”
Freeland was Finance Minister and Deputy Prime Minister for years and didn’t see any issue with this but now that she wants to be voted into the PM office, she’s willing to “look the other way” and allow previously viewed terrorist activities to go unchecked. At great cost to Canadian citizens no doubt. So Ms. Freeland — were you wrong for the past eight years or are you doing wrong now – you can’t really have it both ways!
