History

Simpson was reportedly born in Southern California to Canadian parents, growing up in the "exclusive upper-middle-class community of Rolling Hills."^[1]

Simpson co-founded the Citizens Research Institute (CRI) in 1988 to support parents whose children had been wrongly seized by government social workers.^[2] She served as Executive Director starting in January 1989 (according to Simpson's LinkedIn profile).^[3][4]

Simpson claims to have "rallied Canadians from across the country in opposing the Charlottetown Accord", and in 1997, told BC Premier Glen Clark that he had "a political death wish if he continued to ignore civil Canadians and impose a radical left-wing agenda onto the schools."^[5]

Simpson was featured on the cover of the November 24, 1997 issue of the British Columbia Report, described as "the most dangerous woman in B.C." The cover read, "Kari Simpson's pro-family crusade threatens not only the NDP, but the Liberals."^[6]

Simpson incorporated the Citizens Research Foundation on December 31, 1997 alongside Noel Walker and Bernard Jeske.^[7]

On October 25, 1999, CKNW host Rafe Mair authored an editorial comparing Simpson to Adolf Hitler, the Ku Klux Klan and George Wallace, among others.^[8] Simpson sued Mair for defamation on November 17, 1999, and Justice Mary Southin ruled in Simpson's favour in her June 13, 2006 ruling.^[9] On June 27, 2008, the Supreme Court of Canada reversed the decision, finding that Mair was not guilty of defamation.^[10]

On March 3, 2009, Simpson began co-hosting RoadKill Radio with Terry O’Neill.^[11] She launched the Drive for Justice campaign on July 6, 2012, highlighting her lawsuit against Mair.^[12]

In a biography provided on a page titled "Meet the Players," Simpson is quoted as suggesting "that if we as a society are going to assign special status to the issue of homosexual sex to our growing list of acceptable but costly Canadian indulgences then we should be fair and simply tax sex."^[5:1]

She continued: "And for the record, refusing to support sex activist teachers, indoctrinating impressionable minds that the insertion of one man’s penis into another man anus is an activity that must not only be tolerated but celebrated is not being anti-gay; it is exercising the right, as a Canadian, to ensure truth and civil-minded common-sense prevails in a public debate that is costing Canadians billions of healthcare dollars."^[5:2]

The Citizens Research Foundation was dissolved on May 10, 2015.^[7:1]

Simpson joined GoGetFunding on November 12, 2016.^[13]

Simpson incorporated Culture Guard Inc. on February 14, 2018 alongside co-directors Ron Gray and Theresa Carnduff.^[14][15]
