The total revenue listed on the 08' tax form is $1,326,962. On page 2 there is a little more detail about their intent. For the overall mission it is "maintaining and restoring" the Y2Y region, as if there was some sort of already existing problem, which there wasn't. In their conservation program, the Rocky, Purcell, and Mackenzie mountains were again targeted for studies on core habitats, and again for Grizzlies. Naturally, "their" science is made available for land use decisions, because that is what it is all about, control over land. For communications they believe they have the answer to "ensure healthy coexistence of wildlife and communities", again implying that it had not existed prior to their vision. What nonsense. They also "develop tools and messages" to communicate with foundations, businesses, governments, and members of the general public. Translated, this means they distort their true agenda into something fluffy that everyone will find wonderful. Besides, their messages were already being received in their partnerships with governments and businesses to jointly plan what they wanted to do to us. $1,042,634.00 was funneled to Y2Y-Alberta, $999,500 for program services, $20,364 for management and general services, and $22,500 for fundraising services, page 10. The total of gifts, grants, and contributions from 04' to 08' came to $6,579,336. On the page, Statement for Activities Outside the United States, Canada was allotted $832,000 for conservation program services, and 167,500.00 for communication services. Almost one million dollars to promote Y2Y in Canada. The page listing the organizations who benefited from this appears to be redacted. In spite of Y2Y-MT being registered as a non-profit in Montana, the 09' tax form lists the principle officer in Canmore, Alberta. Y2Y-Alberta received just a little less money, $827,135, perhaps because some money was shifted to the Wild Foundation in Colorado, in the amount of $241,900. The first page that comes up for this groups states it "builds strong communities". This is interesting given the recent development of land take over in Alberta, and the disclosure of an economic development agenda with tourism. Perhaps the ground work was being laid this early in Y2Y plans. Since when was it up to organizations to decide how a community should look, taking away all citizen rights to determine how they want their communities be governed? This group claims to work at a grassroots level but the true picture is they work at a national and international level, interfering with governmental processes. Their framework comes from the International Union for Conservation of Nature (IUCN), and they lump the sovereignty of Canada, the U.S., and Mexico into one piece of land, North America, even creating a committee to make decisions about how we live. As usual, the Canadian and U.S. governments are in partnership with this group, the United Nations, and corporations. If there is anything to be learned about all of these organizations, it is to erase boundaries and jurisdictions. It can be found in everything that they do. Highlights of the remaining tax forms will be posted.
