their own website describes themselves thus: "The Canadian Taxpayers Federation is a federally incorporated, not-for-profit citizen’s group dedicated to lower taxes, less waste and accountable government."

Google's AI vomited up a description involving the words "a real, legally incorporated non-profit advocacy organization, but critics and journalists debate its claim of being strictly "non-partisan".

Actual reality indicates they're a right-wing think tank that masquerades as non-partisan, rallying against any government spending that doesn't directly benefit petroleum producers or big business interests, and suspiciously staying silent on a 75 million dollar boondoggle involving business people closely related to members of the Alberta provincial government. https://www.nationalobserver.com/2023/11/25/opinion/canadian-taxpayer-federation-convenient-double-standard

So much for their policy of "accountable government."

along with the education system, the healthcare system, political representation, and the military-industrial complex. It's like all of those things have been turned against the citizens of the United States.

Don't worry, they're just going through a phrase.

This is why they want to dismantle Wikipedia, by the way.

They are, yes.

This is like saying Liberace proves gay people are all actually straight.

They must always know where we are, but we must never know where they are. Funny how that happened while lawmakers stood idly by.
