NDP candidate Yvonne Hanson takes issue with Elections Canada decree on climate advertising
The NDP candidate in Vancouver Granville, Yvonne Hanson, has described a recent Elections Canada warning as a “dangerous miscommunication of reality”.
The federal election regulator has said that election ads costing $500 or more will be considered partisan if they warn about the dangers of climate change. And registered charities, including many environmental groups, face intense restrictions on being engaged in partisan political activities.
