According to a recent report in the Ottawa Citizen, Michael O'Sullivan, the Executive Director of the Humane Society of Canada is alleged to have collected more than $250,000 in expenses including $70,000 that the CRA categorized as personal expenses.
Included in these expenses were “a large number of personal meal expenses, the cost of comic books purchased through PayPal, liquor purchases from the LCBO, grocery purchases, tickets to entertainment events in the UK and the USA, and expenses of Mr. O’Sullivan and his family at Disneyland.”

The Federal Court of Appeal upheld the CRA decision to revoke the Humane Society of Canada’s registration as a charitable organization.
