CRA (Canadian Revenue Agency)
The primary overt weapon that the Canadian government has employed against me since 2006 has been the Canadian Revenue Agency. These bandits have the ability to take money out of your hands, food from your family`s mouth, and spread fear to every creditor and lender....and to completely destroy your life by their investigative tactics.
A substantial Seizure and Jeopardy Order representing millions of dollars, was executed on July 12, 2006. The first seizure was on a principle bank account. Then the agents executed the seizure warrant at the family residence where they spent several hours taking inventory of the entire home and its contents. A seizure order was also sent to all banking institutions that I had a banking relationship with seizing all accounts.
Although I have tried to resolve the matters through discussion and dialogue; I have met resistance that can only be characterized as hostile and contentious. I have maintained my position, as it had been for many years that I am a non-resident Canadian. A meeting was organized between Mr. Rene Gagniere of CRA and his agent on this case, Richard Martel. The meeting was acrimonious and yielded no results. In fact, the government and their justice lawyer appeared even more resolute.
During 2007, I consulted with several key people in relation to the revenue matter and asked them to intervene in the file. One such consultant was Madan Kehar, a former high-level CRA auditor who knew the people in the file from CRA and understood some of the problems we were facing because of the personality of Mr. Gagniere, who was referred to as the “Cowboy” in professional circles, this nickname was a result of his approach to files. Mr. Kehar had tried to intervene and met with some resistance, as well as obtaining a firmer understanding of the entrenched position of the government against me. Mr Kehar had offered for a consulting fee and for a success fee based on a percentage of the money he saved me from the assessments, to negotiate a settlement for my revenue file. Based on the settlement he would obtain by ‘negotiating’ with Mr. Gagniere, the success fee would be shared with Mr. Gagniere secretly since he was retiring shortly from the CRA.
I withdrew from this through my tax attorney, because I was not interested in getting involved in this type of ‘negotiations’. I strongly felt it was another way in which the government could entrap me in an “illegal act” carried out by another person from which I would gain personal benefit.
Instead of getting closer to reaching an agreement with CRA, they filed new assessments revising their position for years 2001- 2005 based on their continuing investigation.
At the close of 2007, a meeting took place for the purpose of discussing the revenue and other matters with Hon. John Crosbie. In January, 2008 Hon. Crosbie agreed to make contact within the Ministry of Revenue to inquire into my revenue file to try and have identified a single person who would have the power and position to settle the outstanding issues for once and all.
My revenue file changed hands every time CRA made a decision either in objections, assessments or had a change in personnel due to retirement or other. Since the file was between investigations, audit, objections etc. it was difficult to find someone who had the authority to settle the matter and not have a continual game of ping pong result.
At the end of January, 2008 several meetings took place with CRA in an effort to settle my revenue file. However, even though Hon. Crosbie was given the name of the person authorized to settle, it was not settled. In the subsequent meeting with Me. Mostovac, my tax attorney where proof and substantiating documents were provided, the CRA refused to accept the proof and stated that re-assessment would be forthcoming.
An impasse has resulted where they have continued to work through various means of investigation to create problems globally for me in business and personal interests. All in an effort to force me to pay whatever amount they deem appropriate. They stepped up the tactics when in March 2008, they sent the police (RCMP) to obtain what they could not through other means. |
