Canadian equal marriage groups up against US-backed giants

Financial reports available on-line show that the Canadian arm of Focus On The Family (FOTF), based in Langley, BC, received a total of $1.6 million since 2000 from its Colorado-based head office. The Catholic men’s group The Knights Of Columbus’ international headquarters in New Haven, Connecticut provided $80,000 to print postcards sent to MPs denouncing the legislation.
“The Canadian media is being carpet-bombed by advertising,” says Alex Munter of Canadians For Equal Marriage. “We have no idea how much US money is flowing across the border and most of it is quite shadowy.”
