“I am a Canadian, free to speak without fear, free to worship in my own way, free to stand for what I think right, free to oppose what I believe wrong, or free to choose those who shall govern my country. This heritage of freedom I pledge to uphold for myself and all mankind.” ~~ John G. Diefenbaker

CDN TAXPAYERS FEDERATION: The CRA acting as both the tax filer and the tax collector is a clear conflict of interest


If you’re copying someone’s homework, you need to ask yourself whether you trust their work.

 

The Trudeau government has been quietly expanding the power of the Canada Revenue Agency (CRA) to automatically calculate and file income tax returns for Canadians. In the last budget, it announced plans to expand this power in 2024.

 

This might sound like a real shortcut, but should you trust the CRA with this power?

 

The CRA’s job is to maximize the amount of taxes they get from you. The CRA acting as both the tax filer and the tax collector is a clear conflict of interest. And it’s not likely to work out in your favour. This is a classic case of getting the fox to guard your henhouse.

 

The CRA is already the largest arm of the federal government with more than 59,000 staff. This massive power grab would mean more CRA staff with a more expensive CRA budget. 

 

Do you think the CRA is good at its job? 

 

It sent CERB payments to prisoners and dead people. 

 

The CRA has a history of blocking phone calls and then regularly gives out wrong information to Canadians when they do get through.

 

And they’ve ruined people’s lives with their incompetence.

 

Why would the Trudeau government give the CRA even more power?

 

Is the government really trying to help? Or is it that the government is broke and wants to squeeze more money out of you?

 

It’s time to fight back and stop this CRA power grab.

FORSETH -- Given the noted infractions of this agreement with OneBC leader Dallas Brodie, I request the Party immediate suspend the leadership campaign of Yuri Fulmer

I have personally emailed the following to the Board and Administration of the Conservative Party of BC:   TODAY (03/30) Yuri Fulmer, a candidate for the leadership of the Conservative Party of BC, made a pact with ONEBC leader Dallas Broldie, that if he is elected will commit the Conservative Party to the following. Specifically, the pact states : This Memorandum of Understanding outlines the definitive electoral and governing alliance that will be executed upon Yuri Fulmer’s election as Leader of the Conservative Party of British Columbia OneBC Party commits to not nominating or authorizing candidates in 88 of British Columbia’s 93 electoral districts.

Delays to the replacement of the Red Bridge? Kamloops North Thompson MLA Ward Stamer says they are, “Totally Unacceptable.”

I think it’s totally unacceptable that on one hand the Ministry of Transportation and Transit (MoTT) is saying they’re going to be responsible for putting together multiple replacement options with public engagement, and then in the same breath they're saying, ‘Oh, and by the way, we're going to start our geotechnical environmental and archaeological site assessments on both sides of the river, possibly beginning this summer.’ According to Stamer, that should already have been done. “Obviously, we're pretty sure it will be in the same location because there's really no other place to put it. So, if you're going to put in a bridge, you think that at least you'd be doing the archaeological assessments first off”, stated Stamer.   “If it's determined it has to be a free-span bridge, and it can't have anything or very minimal impact in the riverbed, they should already be determining that. It would help in the design, wouldn't it?” Stamer indicated...

Your government has a gambling problem (Troy Media)

Provinces call it “revenue,” but it looks a lot like exploitation of the marginalized The odds of winning Lotto Max are about 1 in 33 million. You’re statistically more likely to be struck by lightning than to win it. But your government is betting that statistics won’t hold you back; they’re counting on it. Across Canada, provincial governments not only regulate gambling, they also maintain a monopoly on lottery and gaming by owning and operating the entire legal market. That means every scratch card is government-issued, gambling odds are government-set, casino ads are government-funded and lottery billboards are government-paid. And these are not incidental government activities. They generate significant revenues that governments have powerful incentives to expand, not constrain. It would be one thing for our governments to encourage us to engage in healthy activities. We can quibble about whether the government should be trying to convince us to be more active or eat more vegetabl...
