No Longer Guilty but a National Embarrassment to be forgotten.

My first case so to speak is not the one that I was originally going to post. That will be saved for later. It is instead, a case that I have just become aware of: The Irvin Leroux case. What the case illustrates fellow Canadians, will be a recurring theme here.

Revenue Canada mistakenly determined that Irwin owed more than one million dollars in taxes. Mistakenly should really not be the word here because Revenue Canada clearly has a pattern of not knowing it's own rules or brazenly ignoring them and preferring intimidation as their primarly modus operandus. Through the whole sordid affair RC has cause the poor man nothing but heartache and pain and bankruptcy and in the end admitted their mistake but refuse to reinstate the man's holdings and assets to the state they were in before they intruded on his life and ruined it. Would it not have been a completely different story if Revenue Canada first had to prove Irwin's supposed guilt in a court of law?

Join Irwin on his group wth Facebook , search for Irwin on YouTube, see the CBC article on him, or just Google him yourself and follow up this horrific story of the Canadian dream gone wrong.

You are living in a country where YOU ARE GUILTY UNTIL YOU PROVE YOURSELF INNOCENT under so many statues that indeed this country might be considered to be on the doorstep of a police state. Don't be alarmed that I just used a nasty phrase to describe our idyllic existance in our country; be alarmed that you didn't notice it happening. Boiling frogs and other such stories will all be fodder for my cannon in the near future.
