Is There a Canadian Equivalent to the EFF?

Posted by Cliff on from the canucks-want-freedom-too-eh? dept.

javacowboy asks: "I'm a Canadian citizen who recently emailed the Electronic Frontier Foundation to ask about the tax-deductibility of donations to that organization. They replied telling me that they have no presence in Canada and that they can't issue a Canadian tax receipt. What I would like to know is if there is a similar organization in Canada, working towards the same goals, that I can donate to as well as writing off the donations on my tax form."

  1. Of course there is! by philologist · · Score: 5, Informative

    Of course there is: Electronic Frontier Canada / La Frontière Électronique du Canada (http://www.efc.ca/)! And following great Canadian traditions, the site is bilingual.

    Australia has one, too: Electronic Frontiers Australia (http://www.efa.org.au/).

    I don't know if either is tax-deductible, but they do have interesting info on legislation in both countries. Cheers.

    It doesn't sound like you have been following the Canadian Copyright Reform Process, which has some proposals with similiarities to aspects of the DMCA.
