Mark at Slap Upside the Head reports that Canada's official opposition, the NDP, have made it a part of their platform to work to revoke the charitable status of any organization that collects money to fund harmful ex-gay / reparative therapies:

    "... They take advantage of LGB people, often in vulnerable family situations or at grips with depression and self-hatred, and browbeat them—saying that LGB people never live happy lives, that we are unhealthy and unwhole, and that we never experience love and that the only hope lies in their therapies..."

He first wrote about Exodus Global Alliance's status as a charitable organization in Canada in September of last year.  To that end (and mentioned previously, but go there if you missed it), there is a Slap Upside the Head Action Page outlining how you can support this effort.
