"The Democracy Fund": What fresh hell is this?

Here's Rebel News Obergruppenfuhrer and Canadian charity tax specialist Ezra Levant, giving a shout-out to the CRA-approved charity "The Democracy Fund" that is currently laundering ^H^H^H^H^H^H^H^H^H^H^H redirecting ^H^H^H^H^H^H^H^H^H^H^H repurposing what would seem to be hundreds of thousands of dollars in donations to his "Fight the Fines" campaign:



despite what would appear to be clear and unambiguous CRA regulations that you can't do that:



In any event, given the overwhelming mystery of "The Democracy Fund" (whose web page explains precisely nothing about them), we do now note a teeny tiny "Jobs" link at the bottom and, sure enough, it would appear that, despite listing absolutely no previous or ongoing projects of any kind in its history of existence, TDF is looking for a "Project Manager" whose duties would include:



I'm sorry, wait, what?



So the mysterious entity "The Democracy Fund" is going to be putting together "teachers' kits?" Really? And isn't it "The Right" that is constantly whining incessantly about how schools are being infiltrated by leftist, libtard propaganda, yet here we have a faceless, CRA-approved charity about to use that charity status to pump out conservative propaganda for the express purpose of getting that crap into schools? Ah, irony, where is thy sting?

One suspects that, if Ezra has any input into this, we should soon expect a first edition of "Ethical Tobacco: What Doctors Don't Tell You About the Benefits of Smoking", accompanied by a cheery, Doonesbury-like mascot named "Mr. Butts":



In any event, I think the proper course of action here is to apply for the job, for the sole purpose of figuring out what the hell is going on here, and just what those "teachers' kits" would contain. And you don't have anything better to do today, do you?

BONUS TRACK: It's fascinating that The Democracy Fund is suddenly in need of a "project manager" to do all these interesting things, given that nowhere does that group list, anywhere on its web page, any previous projects that it has ever run. In fact, whois.com shows that that domain name was registered only last year:




so it seems safe to conclude that TDF has done precisely nothing in terms of "projects" to merit its CRA charitable tax status, only to suddenly decide that it's time to start pumping out propaganda in the form of "teachers' kits" and handing out charitable tax receipts to anyone who wants to help out.

Where is Canada Revenue Agency when you actually want their involvement?
