“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. 

 


The Canadian Taxpayers Federation has hired some of the best political TV ad creators in the country. They’ve created this brand new TV ad: https://www.taxpayer.com/campaigns/cra-power-grab

There’s a good chance your friends, family and neighbours haven’t heard about this power grab. You can make sure they know by donating towards the ad campaign today.

 

 

Thanks for standing up against big government power grabs.

PECKFORD -- Authoritarian governments in our own time, from the Nazi period to the USSR, have crippled democracy and freedom and yet we have not learned

Just come right out and say it ... it’s China ... and it’s communist. So there ... I said it! And its a virus, the corona virus, that came from China — the China Virus. Oh, yah it has a fancy name —but this keeps it simple and identifies its origin. Imagine that!!! Of course, now that Trump has said it, he, being a virus to most China sensitive people (and that’ s just about everyone) none will say it now —- And the political correctness and hypocrisy of it all. The World Health Organization changed all that a few years ago and like sheep we all followed along. No more geographic naming —that’s an order —-George Orwell is turning over in his grave. Of course, this WHO is part of the UN that has a Human Rights Council full of human rights violators whose sole purpose in life is to bring resolutions against the only democracy in the Middle East. Nice civilized crowd don’t you think?? We all put up with this charade every day and conti...

Khadr played upon the democratic freedoms and rights that Canadian have

WELL I CERTAINLY STIRRED UP REACTION when my last post went online , as well as other comments, which were made online elsewhere.  People opposed, to what I had to say, had comments which included the following:   Okay, I'm f - - king sick of the idiocy and done with writing a diatribe every single time a friend posts about how they're upset that Trudeau is giving a terrorist $10m. ... You people are.... willfully ignorant and hypocritical .. ·          God help us. What’s next everybody is “packing”, burning crosses, and having segregated bathrooms.  This rhetoric is disturbing.  Canadians are better than this. My mind is in awe of the number of people who have no respect for what being tortured actually means. Who foolishly think that they wouldn't break ... If our governments are willing to trap and torture people on foreign soil then we h...
