This is an American Foundation that also has acquired registered charity status in Canada. We would not even have had them on our radar but for the admission of funding by both the Skeena Watershed Conservation Coalition and Skeenawild Conservation Trust.

The Swift Foundation in Canada received funding from none other than Tides Canada Foundation (Non-profit) and please check out that link from Influence Watch.
We often on this site refer to the sideways shuffle of American funding that ends up in a money laundering way, into the hands of local eco activists. Yet when you read what the Swift Foundation declared on the Revenue Canada declaration. nothing appears.
Then look at this completely unexplained $2,529,871.00 cash injection by (from non-arm’s length persons) over two and a half million and the public is being refused the right to know where this funding came from and who gave it?
This cash injection, was that from the Tides Foundation?or was that from the parent organization in the USA?
We Need a Law – That governs Vote Manipulation.
Ethical rules of conduct by all organizations, media outlets and websites that are funded, and or, to influence the voters and financed by any sources outside of its board of directors on both elected and non-elected organizations. Any organization that uses public education, advocacy, protest, negotiation and non-violent direct action tactics or pays others, to achieve its goals using any money other than personal funds should be required to have an official audit, all funding received or distributed must be accounted for and that information must be public.
Contrary to leftists claims that environmentalist support is a gauge of public support, this is a outright lie, almost all support is obtained by way of funding misleading and false advertisements and organized staged protests by paid protestors
Hiding funds coming in and or being disbursed must be considered fraud.
