Promotional. Cites no independent sources. This organization appears unnotable. Sam at Megaputer (talk) 04:15, 2 January 2021 (UTC)

- Delete - It's at least plausible that the subject is notable: there's a good deal of news coverage, much of it involving a legal case in which the organization was involved. That being said, the present article is so blatantly promotional as to be irremediable. (It reads more like a manifesto than an encyclopedia.) I would delete it on that basis alone, expressing no opinion as to the topic's notability. See WP:TNT. Extraordinary Writ (talk) 18:59, 4 January 2021 (UTC)
- Comment I found a lot of news articles that give this group at least a passing mention (just a few examples: CBC[1],CTV[2], Toronto Star) but I couldn't find sources that give it significant coverage. Maybe someone else can?VR talk 21:11, 11 January 2021 (UTC)
