I’m aware of Humanist Canada. I believe its elections are what allows it to move past fractured boards.

I included only national organizations because otherwise there would be a lot of provincial and municipal affiliates.

Humanist Canada is a registered charity with a member-elected board of directors. I run a local-affiliate of that organization. It was founded by Henry Morgentaler in 1968.

Also, for completion sake, you missed the Ontario Humanist Society

I noticed Justin has written a fairly extensive repsonse to this matter on his Equalism Activism blog – around Oct26th.

CFI has always been and always will be a top-down organization that attempts to portray itself as having “grassroots” membership and involvement. Kurtz feared ceding too much control to the membership, always hated boards and advisory committees, and there’s no sign that the new leadership feels any differently.

You are far too generous in your assessment of Justin and his web site. He has posted a string of logically flawed, outright false, and generally mean spiritied articles. He has shown himself simply too lazy to do basic research which meets general academic of scientific standards. Then, he claims to blog in defense of science. Justin is either delusional or just plain lying a lot of the time on his blog. The effect is the same, he’s not a good face for secularism in Canada.
