   CRA is about screwing people.  It is what they do.  Old, young, they   
   don't care as long as your not politically connected you are just a   
   sheeples to abuse.

   Ya, but what prevents further abuse.  Seems like you have to be sexy and   
   get CBC or some media to push it.

   CRA doesn't even know its own rules.  Its all about screwing the little guy.

   Or better yet, try to gear your life as not involving the CRA where   
   possible.  Work underground...go offshore like Martian does.  Deal in   
   cash like Mulroney does.

   Or go offshore for less taxes and a much more simple tax system.

   Liberal-socialism is a great idea so long as the credit is good and   
   other people pay for it.  When the credit runs out and those that pay   
   for it leave, they can all share having nothing but debt and discontentment.
