Since our founding in 1990, the CTF has grown from a small space in the warehouse district of Regina to offices in Ottawa and the five provinces of Ontario, Manitoba, Saskatchewan, Alberta and British Columbia.  Our goal is to have a presence in every part of the country.

However, there's an old saying that you can't save the world if you can't pay the rent.  That's especially true for the CTF.

The CTF receives no money from large corporations, unions, foundations or government.  We do not have a charitable tax number.  Our growth is grounded solely in the voluntary contributions of thousands of concerned taxpayers from coast to coast.

The CTF is currently making a push in Atlantic Canada to establish a full-time presence in the region this year to coincide with our 20th anniversary. You can designate a development contribution through our donation page.  Alternatively, if you have a larger scale proposal for development, please feel free to contact the President.

Below are links of recent CTF published commentaries and news stories in the region. We've also included a full listing of Nova Scotia Auditor General Jacques Lapointe's audit of MLA expenses.

Support putting a full-time watchdog on the ground in Atlantic Canada today.
