Justice Delayed

JUSTICE DELAYED
A Commentary on the Injustice imposed
On Victims of the Defective Canadian
“Taxable Benefits” Law.
September 2007


Canada is one of the most highly regarded countries in the world. Our laws and system of applying them “fairly” are almost above reproach.

Canadians are almost assured the highest standards of “Rights and Freedoms” to be found anywhere on this planet.
Nearly every Canadian citizen is protected against unwarranted
Search and seizure:- (From the Canadian Charter of Rights and Freedoms)

Search or seizure 8. Everyone has the right to be secure against unreasonable search or seizure.

This would seem to protect those levied unreasonable taxes against seizure of their property as payment of same.

In fact this clause should be applicable to make Canadians “secure” from unreasonable taxation in the first place. But to the preset time it apparently does not.
It is an almost right to those victimized by the defective “Taxable Benefits” legislation.

The “Injustice” wrought by this legal flaw prompted the Member of Parliament for
the riding of Saanich Gulf Islands, British Columbia, to take action, in 2006, to attempt to correct the problem by having those same taxes imposed on “Profits Never Made” rescinded.

With the knowledge and support of the Canadian Prime Minister, this MP was successful to the point of having said tax rescinded for only some 60+ employees of the JDS Uniphase Corporation in his riding. All other such thousands of identical victimized Canadians were
denied that same justice. Why?

Of course those left out of the “Fair Tax” solution began in November 2006 to appeal to:- (a) their own MP’s .
And (b) to the Office of the Prime Minister of Canada
And (c) to the Office of the Federal Minister of Finance.
And (d) to the Minister of National Revenue – including the very recently appointed Minister of National Revenue.
And (e) to the Office of the Federal Ethics Commissioner – (Federal Accountability Act)
And to every other government agency that might possibly take action to correct the problem.

Every one of the foregoing government persons and associated agencies -- has either ignored the appeals entirely or returned a “boiler plate” reply and passed the message on to another minister for consideration.

There have been no commitments from any government member -- or ministry -- to implement any form of corrective action. And -- (d) has yet to return any reply.

Not one of the above (a) to (e) has, as yet, indicated any intention of taking corrective action. Why do they all ignore this travesty of justice and keep silent or when they do respond they pass the buck?

Yet each and every MP and every member of the Canadian senate has the power to bring forward a members bill to correct the defective “Taxable Benefit” legislation.

The very least that should be done is to declassify stocks, and corporation shares, as a “Taxable Benefit” and reclassify them as “Capital” equities, to bring an end to taxes being levied on non-existent profits, and allow taxpayers to only be taxed on actual “Capital” Gains.

A fair corrective action would also include the remission of all outstanding, (deferred), taxes levied on non-existent profits in the past 20 years – and a refund of taxes previously paid on non-existent profits over this 20 year interval.

This could be accomplished by granting a retroactive 20 year amnesty for victims of the defective “Taxable Benefit” legislation to re-submit their tax returns -- submitted within that time frame -- that reported non-existent profits that rightfully should have been reported as “Capital” Transactions.

The big question is WHY NOT CORRECT THIS PROBLEM? Why are they all giving the remaining Canadian victims the silent treatment? What are they afraid of?

If our current Members of Parliament lack the integrity to acknowledge and commit to correcting this problem then why should anyone vote any of them back into office?

It is not only the present federal government politicians – that are keeping silent on this travesty of justice – none of the federal opposition parties, so far, have dared open their mouths on this issue either.

Why Not? Have they all lowered their standards to a level where they believe such abuse of Canadians is acceptable? If so why should anyone vote any of them into power?

Thousands of Canadians victimized by years of unfair, unjustified and now unequal taxation – have been kept waiting for:- “Justice” which, as yet, hasn’t appeared on any of the Canadian radar screens.

Remember “JUSTICE DELAYED IS JUSTICE DENIED. And Canadians should not tolerate this situation one moment longer -- without raising a very strong public objection.

For starters you can forward this article to your MP and all other Canadians of voting age.
