Where do the end? Where do they start?

There is a power given to charities to issue receipts so that a Canadian who donates money to them can claim it on his personal income tax as a charitable contribution which is a dollar for dollar reduction in his taxable income. (I presume)
I also presume that companies and foundations and other money-giving folks can claim a dollar for dollar reduction in their income by donating to these organizations.

A freedom of speech charity? GIve me a break.

Feed the poor, cure cancer, educate people, help people - ok

If you want to donate money to PEN, that’s ok with me but I don’t feel there is any more reason to deduct that from you taxable income then the twenty you stuck in the stripper’s g-strap.

Never mind the fact that I mostly agree with PEN.
