Ottawa drops appeal in political activity case, ending charities' 7-year audit nightmare

Last summer, an Ontario judge ruled Canada's charity law restricted freedom of expression by imposing a limit on charities' political activities. The Liberal government launched an appeal of the ruling even as it amended the Income Tax Act to conform with it - saying it had to oppose an error in law. On Thursday, it dropped the appeal, saying nothing would be gained.
