RAD’s troubling practices were formalized as official policy in the Canadian government’s 2015 national risk assessment for terrorism financing in the charitable sector, which focuses almost exclusively on Muslim charities, and entirely on charities based in racialized communities, with little to no public substantiation of the risk.
