Canadians who are old enough to remember Nelson Eddy and Marie McDonald will also
remember these words to a song he made famous and very popular in that era.

As I recall the chorus went something like this.:-

Give ten thousand men who are stout hearted men who will fight for the RIGHT they adore – give me ten thousand men and Ill soon give you ten thousand more.

Back in those days that concept would have rang true. Today individual RIGHTS are guaranteed by the Canadian Charter of Rights and Freedoms so no one need fight for them any longer .. RIGHT?

If so you could fool me. I have read the Charter and I have seen it’s guarantee per article 15(1) violated thousands of times – and no one does a thing about it.

The government in power – having once recognized the insidious aspect of the flawed taxable benefit legislation – took token action to give a paltry few victims some relief by way of a tax remission order.

This same government now ignores the plight of thousands of Canadians who have been treated just as bad, or even worse, than those few who had their taxable benefit taxes and penalties dismissed.

In the past year there has been a growing number of Canadians – some victimized but also supported by others who will fight for the RIGHTS of all Canadians.

This group began with three or four victimized people – the group size doubled in the first six months and has doubled again in the last three months.

They have taken the name:- “Canadians for Fair and Equal Taxes, (CFET), and are becoming more visible day by day.

A press conference took place in Ottawa with CFET members, last month, and a web page:- cfet.ca is currently under development.

Journalists have been publishing articles -- for over a year -- berating this unfair tax legislation and the way that it is being applied. (see previous article titled:- MY GOVERNMENT WOULDN’T DO THAT)

Perhaps the theme of Nelson Eddy’s song is still valid – Three or four 12 months ago – eight 6 months ago – 16 last month – next month ???

Hopefully there are still a large number of Canadians who will fight for the RIGHT they adore.

See you at the next federal election polls – O’Grady
