Oh oh: Mea culpa, mea culpa! I have to retract something I said here, regarding the Sens Foundation "Better Halves" fundraiser, "First Place Pregnancy Centre" and its status as a registered charity.
It was originally thought that FPPC wasn't a registered charity, since that's what Revenue Canada told Heather Mallick. However, it turns out that while FPPC isn't registered under that name, it is a registered charity under its real (but for some reason, disguised) name, "Crisis Pregnancy Centre of Ottawa". Would it be rude to wonder why they feel compelled to disguise their real name? Well, that's another post for another day.
So the Sens Foundation can relax: they're not doing anything that contravenes tax law. They're just supporting a group whose sole purpose is to coerce women into becoming unwilling Fetal Support Systems. No problem, no problem at all... well, unless you're stuck on that old "womens' right to self-determination" thing.
