The measure of a democracy is not how efficient the government is but what happens to dissent. I am appalled that in Canada, a small group of bird-watchers can be threatened with a government audit for what appears to be just sending a letter to a cabinet minister raising concern about the environment. The number of charities that are being audited for supposed political activity is silencing civil society and undermining freedom of expression. We should all be very worried about this trend: cbc.ca/news/politics/revenue-canada-targets-birdwatchers-for-political-activity-1.2799546
