Canadian registered charities are not allowed to make donations to political parties.  The Calgary Herald in an article entitled “U of C documents point to political donations that may have contravened election law” states “Thousands of dollars in “indirect contributions” apparently flowed from the University of Calgary to the Alberta Progressive Conservative party, according to documents obtained by the Herald on Friday through freedom of information laws.”  The matter is being investigated by the chief electoral officer and none of the allegations have been proven.
