Blacklock’s- Feds Enforcing Law That Isn’t
The capital gains increase was to take effect June 25. However no bill was ever introduced or passed.
The Canadian Federation of Independent Business quoted a Revenue Agency manager as saying tax auditors assumed the 66 percent capital gains inclusion rate would apply. “If Parliament is dissolved for an election before the higher inclusion rate has become law the Agency will continue to administer the proposed legislation,” the Federation quoted Nina Ioussoupova, senior project officer with the Revenue Agency.
That will die a nasty death in court.
Perhaps it will depend on the judge?
Bingo
In canada. Ha.
This demonstrates how the permament state is in control, not the elected “government”.
Indeed. Placing too much hope in a change of government (change of governing party) is foolish. The government can only get away with what the civil service will actually implement (they hamstrung a lot of Harper’s actions, such as the Accountability Act, by deliberately implementing them in a stupid way). Mass layoffs, even if disguised as golden handshakes, and a radical re-organization of the civil service will help.
Well we can now confirm that the CRA is at least one government alphabet entity representing fully the Canadian Deep State.
Has the enabling legislation been introduced into the legislature yet? or was it just announced by the government?
If the enabling legislation doesn’t exist, then there is no reason the CRA should take any action.
In reality they cannot take any action. No one has to pay it if it is not law, the CRA does not write or pass law.
Politicians come and go, bureaucrats are there forever. It’s not just politicians that need term limits, senior bureaucrats forget who they work for and it’s not the UN like they think it is.
Bob, that’s long been my view; the senior unelected civil service, I didn’t call the “deep state” but it is the caustic element of an otherwise decent place.
Decimate comes to mind when it comes to fixing the federal civil service. But decimate comes from the Roman “to select by lot and kill every tenth person”. So decimate as a prescription is much too inadequate for whittling down our cancerous federal bureaucracy.
Well if tax is theft then a Nina here is the culprit.
