E truly does = NG, a universal constant from the big bang to the heat death of the universe.

Apparently it's been well-known in Edmonton for a while and it's even worse than the charity intelligence report. From a reddit thread yesterday talking about Colby Cave...

They only give a maximum of $150k to the charity/cause/fundraiser for the 50/50. The rest goes to the OCF (see: millions of dollars a game), and is then used to fund players expenses, pay board members, and pay the mascot.

You can search all registered charities through CRA. They have their financials disclosed. It’s crazy what they are doing.

For June 2024, $104,943,769 non tax receipted income (only $471k receipted); $28,351,379 expensed on licenses, memberships and dues, $54,070,921 on “other expenditures”. There was $86,536,009 in total expenditures. Of that, only $1,716,715 was on charitable activities; $83,497,321 was spent on fundraising. I don’t know how CRA allows these to operate.

Just another reason to despise that garbage franchise.
