Spread the Word. The National Citizen's Inquiry has been hijacked
"Our reason for writing today is that the future of the NCI is being challenged.
What has been revealed in recent weeks is that there are interests that do not want the National Citizens Inquiry to continue its efforts of citizen-led accountability.
To provide some context, when the NCI was established the initial board (called the Support Group) required a not-for-profit organization to receive the funds donated to support the NCI. The Support Group created ‘Citizens Inquiry Canada’ (CIC) for the express purpose of receiving and distributing the funds donated to the National Citizens Inquiry. At all times, the NCI management, oversight, and control rested with the NCI Support Group.
To our surprise, in December 2023 David Ross and Ches Crosbie, whom were appointed by the NCI Support Group to serve as directors of Citizens Inquiry Canada, began to challenge the authority of the NCI management team to make decisions pertaining to the operations and future of the NCI.

She took action against political ideology being pushed in classrooms.
She made sure kids got back to school when the system tried to hold families hostage.
