I have a huge problem if honest disagreement with the= direction a government takes gets construed as a =E2=80=9Cpolitical=E2=80= =9D activity. Mutually respectful debate helps all of us find the right an= swer, and the best friends tell us when we are going astray. Stifling debate has adverse effects on respect and trust.

This group is being hasseled because it= is voicing concerns about what the government is doing that might hurt the= birds, etc. As a birding group they should be able to voice their displea= sure and not be silenced. It shouldn't affect their charitable status. Don Don MacNeill donmacneill@bellaliant.net On 19/02/2015 12:36 PM, rita.paul@ns.sympatico.ca wrote: And good on Revenue Canada Richard.
