Tory Appointees 'Unfit' For Agency Board.
Tory appointees 'unfit' for rights agency board, staff says
Bruce Cheadle THE CANADIAN PRESS

Published 37 minutes ago

OTTAWA–The entire staff of a government-funded rights advocacy group is calling for the resignation of three Conservative appointees from the board of directors, including the chairman.

The extraordinary letter from the staff of Rights and Democracy – a non-partisan, two-decade old advocacy body – follows the death last week of president Remy Beauregard, who died of a heart attack following a vitriolic board meeting.

It lays bare a raging battle over the direction of the advocacy group, which some insiders claim has been subjected to a "hostile takeover" by conservative Harper-appointed board members.

1. Harper and his cronies are working very hard to
turn all rights advocacy groups into advocacy groups for the right.

Those that don't follow their orders, bye bye.
