Well yeah. I think me, you, and Charity Intelligence are all on the same page here. It's pretty much what the whole point of this thread was about, and what the watchdog emphasized:

Bahen said people need to be wary when considering whether participating in an event like a charity golf game will benefit their community.
“That’s wonderful for the people who pay to play with their favourite player, but it isn’t like a charity fundraiser, it’s more about a donor experience and they’re very expensive,” she said.

Don't get fooled into thinking you're actually helping the community more than you are by playing golf. Pretty much nothing from that event goes back to the community. Which is probably fine for most people participating, but the watchdog just wanted to emphasis that.
Also wished that someone would link John Bean his own foundation's CRA report:

Give him the quick view.
Good to see that the Flames Foundation COO is taking the Trump approach. Doesn't like the numbers, his own numbers, so he makes up his own and refuses to talk about it because "fake news."
