CRA seemed to have plenty of investigators to hound environmental charities but little interest in pursuing big time tax dodgers which sounds like something that would have been to Harper's liking.<br /><br />It's next to impossible that the Canadian Revenue Agency folks had no idea that the Panama Papers scandal was coming. The Economist and Vice News were writing about it back in 2014. <br /><br />Makes me think back to the NDP in its glory years.

I'm sure that they've known this scandal was coming for months, probably before the election.<br /><br />Delay is the sort of thing that will be interpreted as reluctance which suggests connivance. Yet the political caste has connived with the corporatist elite by not applying prohibitions, regulations and civil and criminal sanctions to deter this scheming. Instead they legalize it. <br /><br />And, yes, they do it knowing "we the sheeple" will grumble a while but then do nothing.The Mound of Soundhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09023839743772372922noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-32931256.post-48851119450982869192016-04-04T18:11:02.703-07:002016-04-04T18:11:02.703-07:00The one percent have etched their place in stone; ...The one percent have etched their place in stone; where they can be challenged but NOT taken to task for what they do is now LEGAL.<br />To add to this fucking misery 'we' the sheeple accept these gazillionaires with grace and actually try and mimic them!<br />The public at large has accepted the fallacy that these wankers provide trickle down jobs for which we should be grateful.Tax evasion hs reached epic highs whilst at the other end of the scale we bitch and complain at the lack of Government services.<br />I despair the fate of humanity.<br /><br />Trailblazer Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-32931256.post-76440345573950363762016-04-04T15:41:42.731-07:002016-04-04T15:41:42.731-07:00Freaking socialists!
