True North Centre: Hypocrisy at its finest.

Here's right-wing screech harpy Candice Malcolm, vowing that her minty-fresh and utterly talentless Independent Press Gallery will never, ever, ever, ever, ever, ever take government handouts or bailouts or assistance:

Here's Candice Malcolm's equally talentless True North Centre, promising the same level of financial independence from the evil that is government:

And here's True North Centre being a registered "charity" under Canada Revenue Agency rules, which allows it to issue charitable tax receipts to donors.

So much for that "We're too noble to leech off the government!" nonsense.

AFTERSNARK: As Press Progress points out, the journalistic septic tank that is True North Centre is a registered charity, perhaps based on its claim that it is offering services to immigrants. If one visits the CRA detail page for TNC:

one is puzzled by the revelation that this "charity" has been operating since 1994 -- somewhat unlikely unless Malcolm registered it when she was a teenager. So it's safe to conclude that Malcolm, in some way, simply co-opted or inherited an actual functioning charity and rebranded it, while still sucking up taxpayer dollars in the way of handing out tax receipts to donors.

In any event, it's clear that running a charity that allegedly offers assistance to immigrants but is, in reality, a right-wing propaganda outlet is delightfully lucrative:

JUXTAPOSE! Candice Malcolm, who clearly makes a delicious living leeching off the government, will now lecture you on the evil that is universal basic income:

Check back next week when Malcolm, who lives in California, will shriek relentlessly about the socialistic, Marxist Communism of Canadian public health care.
