*sigh*
They are not going after David Suzuki. They are going after the David Suzuki Foundation.
Suzuki has stepped down from the board of directors and has limited his involvement with the foundation, leaving it to stand on its own. He had to do this because he wanted the freedom to speak out politically, which he could not do while maintaining a relationship with the charity. So shutting down the foundation will not affect Suzuki in the wallet at all.
From Wikipedia, the foundation stands for:
The Foundation has four main program departments – Ontario and Northern Region, Quebec/Francophone, B.C. and Western Region, and Science and Policy. Together, they focus on the following areas:[4]
Protecting our climate — ensure that Canada is doing its fair share to avoid dangerous climate change and is on track to achieve a safe level of greenhouse gas emissions.
Transforming the economy — make certain that Canadians can maintain a high quality of life within the finite limits of nature through efficient resource use.
Protecting nature — work to protect the diversity and health of Canada's marine, freshwater, and terrestrial creatures and ecosystems.
Reconnecting with nature — ensure that Canadians, especially youth, learn about their dependence on a healthy environment through outdoor education.
Building community — engage Canadians to live healthier, more fulfilled and just lives with tips on building Earth-friendly infrastructure, making smart energy choices, using efficient transportation, and being mindful of the products, food and water we use.
So yeah, let's cheer on Revenue Canada auditing them. Woo hoo!
