I got a tell ya about my political nightmare…There I was, I found myself unable to move a muscle, while I looked on as Liberals Roger Grimes, Billy Rowe, Eddie Roberts, Rossy Barbour, and Joey Smallwood were sitting around a Holiday Inn room having a séance. Old Joey was leading the séance, and a ghostly image of Chess Crosbie was emerging from a genie bottle, but then… all of a sudden, Dwit Ball appeared and pushed Joey over because Ball was in a tussle head-lock with PC Jim Morgan, better known as Jigger Jim…Then, Liberal Steve Neary of Bell Island fame started in singing Dick Nolan’s hit tune ‘Aunt Martha’s Sheep’… but, the next thing I know, John White from the TV show All Around the Circle fame was fist fisticuffs with Dick Nolan, and yelling at Dwit to let go Jigger Jim… The next thing I know Brian Tobin’s image also started coming out of the genie’s lamp, but like a ravenous wolf, old dip stick, Chess Crosbie, bit off Tobin’s head… Then, old Dwit screamed out, The Writ, the Writ… and, everybody scrambled, while an envelope of insense smoke immersed everybody in the room, and all I could hear was the fading screaming voice of Dwit yelling, “The Dwit, The Dwit”…sounding like that little midget guy from that old 1970’s TV show Fantasy Island yelling, de Plane, Boss… de Plane… Man what a hag… what a nightmare… Maybe, NL is a Fantasy Island…Anyway, fantasy or no fantasy, I’m all messed up…knowing more of who not to vote for, than who to vote for… me-old-stick-in-the-mud

Reply to @Mark Mac: Well Marc, I lapped into some of that NL farmed salmon with a few Blackhorse out in the shed the other night... I don't know if what I ate could have had any of that infectious salmon anemia, what Gerry Byrne calls ISA Salmon, from Gaultois, Hermitage Bay way... Could a been that, alright... I didn't bother to look at it closely for any sea lice or parasites... I mean Gerry Byrne in a news publication said it was fit to eat, and if you can't believe a politician, than who can you believe. right?... Anyway, just to be on the safe side, before I eats anymore, I'm going to write Gerry's office and ask, if he eats any of it..




Nfld. & Labrador·Weekend Briefing

Here's the juggernaut Ches Crosbie will have to fight like hell to overcome

Every single member of the Liberal caucus is running again

Ches Crosbie rallied supporters Wednesday night as he launched his campaign. (CBC)
 

While never so foolish as to predict the outcome of the election, I feel comfortable stating this: Tory Leader Ches Crosbie has one massive problem to solve if he wants to turn Newfoundland and Labrador blue next month.

It's not a problem of his own making.

It's also not a problem that will be easy to fix.





It's the problem of incumbency — and not his, but rather the party he wants to unseat.

Let me explain.

Of the slate of 40 candidates that the governing Liberals will have going into the election, 27 are sitting members of the House of Assembly.

Twenty-seven.

Put another way: every single member of the Liberal caucus is running again. The works. Only one of them (Betty Parsley, in Harbour Main) faced a nomination challenge along the way.

No guarantee of success, but quite the weapon


Before we look at the Liberals' advantage, let's not forget that the Tories are going into the campaign with some key strengths.

Chief among them is the momentum that comes from winning all three byelections held since the last general election. The Tories kept seats held by Paul Davis and Steve Kent, and — significantly — Crosbie himself picked off the St. John's seat that former Liberal finance minister Cathy Bennett had held.


Ches Crosbie greets his father, PC legend John Crosbie, after winning September's byelection in Windsor Lake. (CBC)

In other words, the Tories can turn seats.

The issue: they have to turn 13 of them (and win all that they hold) to form a majority government.

Even people who are not fans of Dwight Ball will acknowledge that the Liberals are going into this election from a position of strength. Incumbency is a potent force in politics. It hardly guarantees success, but it does give momentum and weight to a party … and it can sap the resources of parties aiming to overturn the status quo.

Embedded video

The 2019 NL election is underway. The Liberals, PCs, NDP and NL Alliance all fighting for votes. http://cbc.ca/1.5101575 

And we already have a front runner for greatest gif of the campaign


In this case, the fact that no Liberal MHAs are stepping away from the political fight tells us something about the mood inside the party. Namely, there's a confidence in the air. They expect to win.

The risk of being arrogant


Now, that runs the risk of cockiness and arrogance — something the PCs, the NDP and the upstart NL Alliance can use to their advantage.

It's natural for a party that's just finishing its first term back in government to have a solid cadre of returning candidates.


Liberal Leader Dwight Ball officially launched his campaign in St. John's on Wednesday night. (CBC)

But it's even more remarkable that there hasn't been turnover. With most elections, you'll hear from some MHAs — the ones who've been around the block — to declare that it's time to retire, or perhaps lean on that old euphemism of spending more time with family. (Sometimes that's true, by the way, but it's often a cloak for "I don't want to run and lose.")

Indeed, two of the veteran MHAs who did step down before the election was called were both Tories. Keith Hutchings, the former fisheries minister, has represented the PC stronghold of Ferryland since a 2007 byelection. Tracey Perry is retiring after representing Fortune Bay-Cape La Hune since the 2007 election.

Everyone in politics knows incumbency in politics can be a mighty factor. Satisfaction with Liberal performance has not been consistently strong in public opinion polling over the last four years, but by the same token, there are few signs of an anti-incumbent feeling in the air.

Liberals were faster out of the gate


In our office, we've been sharing notes about candidates in a spreadsheet. Even before the Liberals filled all their slots on Wednesday, they were way ahead of the competing parties. The PCs had notable gaps in their slate, including several districts held by cabinet ministers.

The NDP has had far more empty slots than filled ones. This speaks to the uphill struggle the party has, coming after a tumultuous start to the year with leader Gerry Rogers unexpectedly stepping down, Alison Coffin taking over the reins, and some clear signs of infighting with St. John's Deputy Mayor Sheilagh O'Leary squeezed out in Lorraine Michael's old district of St. John's East-Quidi Vidi.



The four party leaders are, from left, Ball, Crosbie, New Democrat Alison Coffin and NL Alliance's Graydon Pelley. (CBC)

When it became clear that Ball was heading to the electorate, the NDP had a handful — four, to be exact — candidates nominated and in place. (Coffin herself was not yet officially nominated at that point.)

Then there's the NL Alliance, which cleared hurdles to become a fully fledged political party in time for the vote. Leader Graydon Pelley, who ran against Ball for the PCs in Humber-Gros Morne in 2015, is running this time in the St. John's district of Mount Scio.

It'll be interesting to see how much organizational strength that Pelley, a former PC president, takes from the Crosbie camp … not to mention the other parties.

Crosbie, of all the opposition leaders, will be the one that most voters will watch. That's natural; the Tories, after all, were in power four years ago.

But amid everything the Tory campaign has to deal with — recruiting candidates, raising money, rounding up volunteers — a killer headache for the blue team is the red side's massive advantage of incumbency.

For all your weekend reading needs


It's a long weekend. Enjoy a moment to catch your breath … and some to read.

Here are some recent stories we've published that you might enjoy:

The francophone community radio station Rafale FM hasn't produced local programming in Labrador City since 2015, but the station has still been collecting ad revenue.


Luke Quinton and his family have relocated from Austin, Texas, to St. John's. (Luke Quinton)

You can go home again … even if you lived in one of the coolest cities in the States. (Luke Quinton's POV was one of our most-read and most-shared articles this week.)

A couple from Holyrood thought they were incredibly lucky at a resort casino, until they realized they had fallen prey to a popular scam aimed at tourists.

Seagulls are skeets.

Insurance costs mean another kind of road rage for many consumers; check out Lindsay Bird's feature on why fixing it is so hard.

This week's budget has no new taxes or fees, but it does have things that can affect your household's bottom line.

Doctors are seeing unnecessary appointments because income support clients need medical appointments in order to meet the qualifications for Metrobus passes.

A leaked letter shows conflicts in the women's movement months before Jenny Wright resigned as executive director of the St. John's Status of Women Council.

CBD, or cannabidiol, is widely sought for pain relief … but not by many doctors, who are still waiting for clinical evidence.

Quote of the week


Finance Minister Tom Obsorne broke down details of this year's budget Tuesday; none of the details have yet been debated or approved. (Fred Hutton/CBC)

"I would have preferred to have seen this chop away at our deficit next year, and the year after, and to help us with surpluses every year. In fact, I argued with financial officials in the department, but this is the system we use, it's accrual accounting. It is what it is."

— Finance Minister Tom Osborne, telling reporters on Budget Day he really, really didn't want to have a $1.9-billion surplus on the books because of the refreshed Atlantic Accord. Almost all of the money will show up over the coming decades.

And now, a moment of calm

 

When things get hectic, find some calm. The above photo of Newtown, from frequent contributor Penney Turner, will do the trick.


You can find it and more beautiful things in our latest audience photo gallery.

Now they want trouble, my friend


The Mighty Morphin' Northern Rangers are a bit like the other crew from '90s TV .. but with beer boxes.

It's the latest comedy video served up by the Not Quite gang. (See more of their stuff, and more, over at this playlist on our YouTube channel.)

Tis it for this week. Enjoy your weekend.

Incidentally, it looks like the politicians are going to be laying a bit low over the Easter weekend, and will be in full roar on Tuesday.

Liberals aiming to 'catch parties off guard' with election call, says MUN professor

Election call has left other parties 'scrambling,' says Kelly Blidook

With election signs sprouting from front lawns and branded busses on the roads, the 2019 provincial election is off to the races — but why is the election happening now?

Dwight Ball has said he didn't want to interfere with the federal election scheduled for late October, but Memorial University political science professor Kelly Blidook says there was also some political strategy involved in the decision.

By calling the election right before the Easter long weekend — and just a day after tabling a budget — Blidook says the Liberals are hoping to surprise their opponents, and it's left the other parties "scrambling."

"I think they are looking at parties that are not fully ready, the other parties simply don't have all their candidates in place," he said.

"Because they are the governing party, it's easier for them to get candidates in place and lined up. They're trying to catch parties off guard if they can, they're taking what advantages they can."

One of those advantages for the Liberals is Elections NL's Thursday afternoon deadline for candidate nominations, a timeline that Blidook says will make it difficult for Ches Crosbie's Progressive Conservative party to run candidates across the province.

"You just want to be campaigning at this point, you don't want to be recruiting, and you don't want to be recruiting on the Easter weekend," he said.

"It would be detrimental, certainly, to not have the full 40 [candidates]."

After nominating six more candidates on Friday, the PCs now have 28 in place.

And while it's within the governing party's rights to divert from the fixed election date, Blidook says it's understandable that some voters could be cynical about a Liberal decision that works to their own advantage.

"This is a party that could've passed a budget, that could've given us exactly what they said they were doing, could've governed," he said.

"They've done the governing part up to the point where they feel it's advantageous and then called an election. I don't know if I'd say it's somehow unethical, but I think it does invite a cynicism."

Rejected by NDP, Howley mayor threatens legal action

Wayne Bennett says he's been labelled, likens treatment to German Jews forced to wear Stars of David

CBC News · Posted: Mar 05, 2018 11:51 AM NT 


Wayne Bennett says if he or his lawyer is not allowed to appeal his provincial NDP membership rejection, he'll take them to court and encourage current members to leave the party. (Submitted photo)
The mayor of Howley says if the Newfoundland and Labrador New Democratic Party doesn't allow him to be a member, he'll take the party to court.

It's the second time Wayne Ronald Bennett has been embroiled in a battle with a political party over membership rights.

In 2014, Bennett was bounced from the PC leadership race after that party ruled he had made racist and defamatory comments, and openly supported a New Democrat candidate in a St. John's byelection.


Bennett, who later obtained a membership in the NDP, has now fallen out with that party.
On Friday, he posted on Twitter a letter from NDP president Mark Gruchy rejecting his application to renew his party membership.

Gruchy cited comments by Bennett on social media and in interviews, including 2014 remarks which he said were anti-Muslim.

The rejection letter also noted Bennett's comments on Twitter in which he mocks the NDP, and uses crude and lewd language to describe government in general.

It also referenced his assertion that the Beothuk are the only Indigenous group with any inherent or land rights on this island, "which is not aligned with the long-held position of the NL NDP and its members."


Mark Gruchy cited several comments made by Bennett as to why his party membership was not renewed. (Glenn Payette/CBC)
Bennett responded on Saturday, threatening legal measures and encouraging current NDPers to give up their memberships.

According to Bennett, he wants to appeal the party's decision, and is asking for more information about how the decision was made, including minutes of the meeting where the decision was made.

"I want to see the evidence, and based on the evidence, then myself or my lawyer will, if allowed, launch an appeal. And if not allowed, then we'll go to court and challenge the decision."

'Stars of David'


Responding to a union activist who said she was happy the party rejected him, Bennett said she was making assumptions about him without meeting him.

"I call this labelling or Stars of David," he tweeted. Asked by CBC what he meant by that, Bennett responded with an answer he'd given VOCM host Jonathan Richler, who'd asked the same thing.

"Hitler put Stars of David on the Jews so that they'd be identified and so that they could be hated and ridiculed," he said. "I thought that after World War II the world would not have done that again, but unfortunately, we do the same thing.

Asked if he thought the treatment of Jewish people in Nazi Germany compared to being rejected by a political party, Bennett said he wasn't saying that.

"No, I wasn't saying that … I've said it many times in my lifetime, is that we label people, and I call that Stars of David, and then the hate takes place," he said.

"Unfortunately, we have people who don't understand if I use certain terms."

Contacted by CBC on Sunday, Gruchy said he hadn't yet seen Bennett's comments and would be responding later.

Oh my my the first question I have is who is the all knowing lawyer?

"I or my legal counsel will be replying to these comments when, at the request of the President of the NDP, he replies to my question ref appeal and the furnishings of minutes/evidence/attendees that the Executive used to render their decision."

@David Amos Methinks the unnamed lawyer and many other Newfies should call former members of the Newfoundland and Labrador First Party and ask a few questions (One in particular lived in Gagetown NB at Xmass Time of 2005 he teased me when I was running for a seat in the 39th Parliament) If they play dumb just tell them to start reading the comment sections of my old blog called "Just Dave" or simply give me a call N'esy Pas?

Just shows that Newfoundland and Labrador's political parties can be hypocritical as Randy Simms made hateful comments against an Innu leader, Simeon Tshakapesh, on his VOCM "Open Line" Radio Show in February 2013, but was allowed to run as a Liberal candidate for Mount Pearl North in November 2015, but Wayne Bennett made hateful comments in the past but not allowed to run for NDP Leadership.

Definitely shows a double standard if Randy Simms can run for a seat in a traditional Left Wing party like the Liberals, but Wayne Bennett can't run for leadership with a party in a similar political spectrum like the NDP.

@David Amos You are forgetting the PC leadership race between Bennett, Coleman, and Barry. The winner of the race would take over the governing PCs and become Premier. This was before the 2015 election. Both Barry and Coleman dropped out of the race. Had Bennett not gotten booted out he would have won the leadership and had become premier by default.

CBC News · Posted: Mar 06, 2018 4:42 PM AT

Residents of Hartland are meeting tonight to discuss the impending
closure of the town's only bank.

Richard Orser, president of the Central Carleton Chamber of Commerce,
says Scotiabank advised residents in early February the branch will
close Oct. 4.

"It was a little heartbreaking, disappointing — and the same with the
citizens of the town and the surrounding communities," Orser said
Tuesday of getting the news.

In addition to the disruption for individual residents, the closure
will also affect more than 80 small businesses in the area, he said.

Thank you for keeping me informed.

Yes unseal all my emails with all their attachments immediately and

As you folks all well know I am not a shy man and I have done nothing

The people in the US Attorney's Office and the SEC etc are very well
aware that I protested immediately to everyone I could think of when
the instant I knew that my correspondences went under seal and Madoff
pled guilty so quickly and yet another cover up involing my actions
was under full steam. Everybody knows that.the US Government has been

Minister's visiting N.B. to tackle tough tax talk
ADAM BOWIE The Daily Gleaner

September 21, 2017

Federal Finance Minister Bill Morneau will visit Fredericton this
weekend to discuss his government's proposed tax reforms with business
leaders from across the country during the Canadian Chamber of
Commerce's annual general meeting.

Krista Ross, CEO of the Fredericton chamber, said Morneau is expected
to make a presentation, then field questions from the room as part of
a question-and-answer session.

In a news conference to be held afterwards, she said, five local
business professionals will share their concerns about how the
proposed changes - which the government insists are designed to make
the taxation model more "fair" - could affect their operations.

She said she's grateful Morneau will attend the meeting to hear
directly from the Canadian business community.

"We're hopeful that he will be receptive to our comments," she said.

"So far, we haven't seen a lot of movement. We've been told that he's
looking at making some tweaks [to the proposed changes]. But we think
that, first of all, we need some more time to have a better
consultation."

Perrin Beatty, president and CEO of the Canadian Chamber of Commerce,
said it'll be an important opportunity to further debate these
potential changes.

 “We are grateful to Minister Morneau for taking time to speak to our
network about these proposed changes. In my 10 years at the chamber, I
have never seen an issue that generated greater concern among our
members,” he said in a news release.

Morneau has said the government is currently in "listening mode,"
hoping to gather feedback about the changes they've proposed.

He's said the proposal has been supported by a number of national
organizations, including the Canadian Labour Congress, the Canadian
Nurses Association, Canadians for Tax Fairness, the Canadian
Association of Social Workers, the Canadian Centre for Policy
Alternatives and the Broadbent Institute.

The current tax system allows someone earning $300,000 to use a
private corporation “to save about as much as the average Canadian
earns in a year,” Morneau wrote in a letter he sent to three National
Democratic Party MPs who had criticized the changes.

“This leads to situations where an incorporated doctor can be taxed at
a lower rate than a nurse practitioner or police officer.”

OTTAWA – Bill Morneau is scrambling to calm the fears of nervous
Liberal backbenchers who’ve been inundated with complaints about the
finance minister’s plan eliminate loopholes that give some wealthy
small business owners an unfair tax advantage.

The finance minister hosted an hour-long conference call Thursday with
Liberal MPs, aimed at listening to their concerns, giving them the
tools to counter what he considers rampant misinformation about his
plan and reassuring them that the government is open to adjusting the
proposals to avoid any unintended consequences.

That’s in addition to dozens of one-on-one calls Morneau and his staff
have been making in recent weeks to quell anxiety among government
caucus members.

READ MORE: Small business owners angry about proposed Liberal tax changes

The conference call came as Liberal MPs prepared to air their concerns
and push for changes to the proposals during a caucus retreat next
week in Kelowna, B.C.

And it came as opposition to the proposals intensified.

Some 35 organizations across the country representing doctors,
lawyers, farmers, financial planners, homebuilders, shop owners and
other incorporated small businesses came together Thursday to create
the Coalition for Small Business Tax Fairness – billed as “a unified
voice to oppose” the proposed tax changes.

could kill jobs on trip to Alberta

“These proposals, while intended to target the wealthy, will hurt
middle-class business owners from every sector of the economy,” said
Dan Kelly, president of the Canadian Federation of Independent
Business, a member of the coalition.

“In ten years at the Canadian chamber, I’ve never seen an issue that
has generated greater concern among our members,” added Perrin Beatty,
president of the Canadian Chamber of Commerce, another coalition
member.

Amid that rhetoric, Morneau spokesman Daniel Lauzon confirmed that the
minister spent more than an hour Thursday on a conference call with
Liberal backbenchers.

WATCH: How proposed tax changes will affect Calgary businesses


“The purpose of the call was really for the minister to listen to his
colleagues, to dispel some myths and clearly state why the notion of
tax fairness and our promise to the middle class are really at the
heart of what we’re proposing here,” said Lauzon.

“And that was an important conversation to have, and an important
conversation to have ahead of Kelowna.”

The backlash has been building since mid-July, when Morneau released a
controversial, three-pronged plan aimed at closing tax loopholes used
by a growing number of small businesses, creating what he called an
“unfair playing field.”

One change would restrict the ability of business owners to lower
their tax rate by sprinkling income to family members in lower tax
brackets, even if those family members do no work for the business.
Another would limit the use of private corporations to make passive
investments in things like stocks or real estate.

WATCH: Canadians pay on average 42.5 per cent of their income in taxes: report


The third change would limit the ability to convert a corporation’s
regular income into capital gains that are typically taxed at a lower
rate.

Among the myths Morneau is trying to dispel is the coalition’s
contention that his proposals will impact all small business owners,
two thirds of whom are middle-class Canadians earning less than
$73,000 per year.

Morneau contends the proposed change to passive investment income will
have negligible impact on anyone making less than $150,000 per year.

“Under this amount there is very little benefit from the loophole
because you could simply max out your RRSP and TFSA (tax free savings
account),” said Lauzon.

READ MORE: Federal tax changes could be ‘catastrophic’ for Nova Scotia doctors

“But the more you make, the more you stand to benefit from these
loopholes, which effectively provide a tax sheltered account over and
above what is available to you, me and everyone else.”

Finance officials argue that closing the loophole will affect only
those small business owners who still have money to shelter from taxes
after they’ve maxed out their RRSPs and TFSAs each year – something
only three per cent of Canadians can afford to do.

That’s consistent, they maintain, with the Liberal government’s core
principle of making the wealthiest one per cent of Canadians pay more
so that taxes for the middle class can be reduced and services
increased.

Other “myths” include the argument – made by the coalition in a letter
Thursday to Morneau – that corporations use passive investments as
insurance against emergencies and unforeseen costs. Finance officials
say any money set aside for business purposes won’t be impacted by the
changes, which will apply only to investments made for personal
benefit by the business owner.

READ MORE: The Canadian Taxpayers Federation says TransLink is paying
its executives too much

The coalition argues that the so-called loopholes are intended to
recognize the greater risks small business owners face, including
using their family homes as collateral against business loans and
having no access to unemployment insurance.

But Finance officials counter that those risks are recognized by a
host of other preferential tax measures afforded to small businesses,
including the lowest small business tax rate among G7 countries. The
intent, they say, was never to create an unlimited tax shelter for the
wealthy who incorporate their businesses.

Over the past 15 years, officials say the number of
Canadian-controlled private corporations has increased by 600,000, to
1.8 million, with many small business owners – particularly
professionals such as doctors – incorporating to take advantage of the
tax loopholes.

Kelly McParland: Why do tax crusaders Trudeau and Morneau suddenly
look so nervous?
Trudeau and Morneau are standing behind their privileges while trying
to remove them from others
Kelly McParland

"Of the two, Morneau is by far the richer. He has family wealth and
marital wealth, having wedded into one of Canada’s richest families.
He has numbered companies on top of numbered companies. He reportedly
has an investment company based in Alberta, which is a long way from
the family home in Ontario. Is Morneau pulling a Mike Duffy, claiming
a benefit in one province even though everyone knows he lives
elsewhere?

We have no way of knowing, because neither the prime minister nor
finance minister has provided the transparency needed to find out.
That’s their right and privilege, and they’re standing behind their
privileges while trying to remove them from others."

'It could be catastrophic': Morneau draws criticism from business,
concerns from N.S. premier
Finance minister in Halifax today talking about controversial tax
changes for small businesses
The Canadian Press Posted: Sep 22, 2017 3:51 PM AT

Finance Minister Bill Morneau is in Halifax today for his "listening
tour" about Ottawa's controversial tax proposals, drawing criticism
from some small business owners and concerns from Nova Scotia's
Liberal premier.

Morneau met with local small business owners at a library in downtown
Halifax, and said afterwards he heard concerns about the changes, but
also an understanding that a system is needed that is fair for all
Canadians.

    Proposed tax changes could drive doctors out of country, physician warns

He met later with Premier Stephen McNeil, who told reporters Friday
that he was concerned about the impact the tax changes could have on
health-care recruitment in a province already dealing with a family
doctor shortage.

"I've raised the issues that I've heard from Nova Scotians and I've
raised my concerns that I have with them as well around the impact I
believe it will have on our province," McNeil said at the Nova Scotia
Legislature.

    Ottawa doctor joins group backing proposed tax reforms

"The opposition is clearly wrong in looking at this solely as a
financial one for the province. There's a much greater risk in my view
— looking at what will this do around health-care recruitment, doctors
and health-care providers."
Level playing field

Morneau's proposal has drawn complaints from doctors, lawyers, tax
planners and other small business owners who have used incorporation
to reduce their income tax burden.

But Morneau said the changes are meant to end tax advantages that some
wealthy business owners have unfairly exploited and to ensure all
Canadians have a level playing field.

McNeil said the status quo allows doctors to plan for their retirement
and is also an important tool for small business owners that allows
them to reinvest in their businesses or to weather a change in the
economy.

"It's an important tool that entrepreneurs need to have to be able to
do that, otherwise there's only one other avenue for them: to go try
to find leverage somewhere else from a lending institution and we
believe the mechanism in place has worked well for the province," said
McNeil.
'Could be catastrophic'

Doctors Nova Scotia, the association that represents all physicians in
the province, said the organization is "absolutely concerned" about
the changes and a meeting is being held in Halifax on Saturday with
about 300 doctors to discuss the issue.

Kevin Chapman, the association's director of partnerships and finance,
said the province gave doctors the right to incorporate in the
mid-1990s as a way of retaining and recruiting physicians "at a time
they were leaving the province in fairly significant numbers."

"The irony is not lost on us that what incorporation was intended to
do back in 1995, it will have the opposite effect if these changes go
through. It could be catastrophic," said Chapman, adding that 75 per
cent of the province's doctors are incorporated.

"Physicians can't raise the rates. They are bound by contract in terms
of what they can charge.… So they have no way to offset the reductions
they might feel from these tax changes. We're running the risk that
physicians will naturally migrate to other jurisdictions where they
can make up that lost earning — or they'll retire."
Restrictions on income sprinkling

Morneau first released the three-part tax plan in mid-July.

The tax proposals include restrictions on the ability of business
owners to reduce their tax rate by sprinkling their income to family
members in lower tax brackets, even if those family members do not
contribute to the company.

    Saskatoon business owners protest federal tax changes

Morneau also proposed limits on the use of private corporations to
make passive investments that are unrelated to the company. Another
change would limit business owners' ability to convert regular income
of a corporation into capital gains, which are typically taxed at a
lower rate.

    Tax loophole is 'simply wrong,' says Vancouver doctor backing
federal reform proposal

Morneau has said there is a lot of misinformation circulating about
the impacts of the proposals and Ottawa has been trying to bring
clarity to the debate.

The government launched a 75-day public consultation period in July,
which ends Oct. 2. Morneau has said he's listening to feedback about
the proposals and he's open to making changes, if necessary.
Is it a done deal?

Matthew MacKenzie was one of a handful of small business owners
invited to Friday's closed-door meeting in Halifax. He and his wife
own two companies: MacKenzie Atlantic Tool & Die and MacKenzie
Healthcare Technologies.

He said that while he agrees that it is unfair for business owners to
sprinkle income among their kids and parents, he does not agree that
it is unfair to split it with a spouse, given the added risk that
comes along with business ownership.

    Doctor who backs tax reforms says it 'just makes sense to pay into society'

"The minister was quite clear that this is still a proposed
legislation, nothing is in stone and they are consulting. I don't know
if it truly felt like that today to me or to anybody else in that
room," said MacKenzie.

"I feel pretty strongly by the tone in the room and the tone by Mr.
Morneau that there are a lot of decisions that they've made that
they're going to stick to regardless of what concerns are made by the
general public or by business owners. Specifically, in relation to
income splitting."

Morneau takes his consultation tour to Fredericton on Saturday to the
Canadian Chamber of Commerce's annual general meeting.

Re My calls about Peter Milliken, Iceland and The Federal Court of
Canada File # T-1557-15 and the upcoming hearing on May 24th in
Fredericton New Brunswick


For the public record after I received the responses found below I
call Ingrid back. Trust that she was not nearly as nice to me as she
was on Friday. Anyway after she denied reading my emails that the
computers of her bosses in Iceland acknowledged, she told to keep my
calls to Iceland at minimum. I can only presume that order also
applies to their spokespersons in my native land as well. Correct Mr
Mellish et al?

Birgitta Jonsdottier and her old paly Julian Assane or anyone else
should find this Interesting if one considers the fact that the former
Icelandic Prime Minister in October of 2008 promised to get back to me
and never did. Then after the worldwide ecomomy to a nosedive and he
was ousted the Icelandic Minister of Finance apologized for the delay.
Howver to this very day Iceland has NEVER answered the HARD COPY I
sent them byway of their Ambassador in Ottawa and the Speaker of the
Canadian House by tracked Canada Post in the spring of 2006. At lease
the Canadian lawyer Peter Millliken was alway polite to me even the
Kevin Vickers and his many buddies in the RCMP etc NEVER were.

Go Figure why I must sue Iceland in the USA someday EH?.

Subject: Your various correspondence about abusive tax schemes - 2017-02631
To: motomaniac333@gmail.com

Mr. David Raymond Amos
motomaniac333@gmail.com


Dear Mr. Amos:

Thank you for your various correspondence about abusive tax schemes,
and for your understanding regarding the delay of this response.

This is an opportunity for me to address your concerns about the way
the Canada Revenue Agency (CRA) deals with aggressive tax planning,
tax avoidance, and tax evasion by targeting individuals and groups
that promote schemes intended to avoid payment of tax. It is also an
opportunity for me to present the Government of Canada’s main
strategies for ensuring fairness for all taxpayers.

The CRA’s mission is to preserve the integrity of Canada’s tax system,
and it is taking concrete and effective action to deal with abusive
tax schemes. Through federal budget funding in 2016 and 2017, the
government has committed close to $1 billion in cracking down on tax
evasion and combatting tax avoidance at home and through the use of
offshore transactions. This additional funding is expected to generate
federal revenues of $2.6 billion over five years for Budget 2016, and
$2.5 billion over five years for Budget 2017.

More precisely, the CRA is cracking down on tax cheats by hiring more
auditors, maintaining its underground economy specialist teams,
increasing coverage of aggressive goods and service tax/harmonized
sales tax planning, increasing coverage of multinational corporations
and wealthy individuals, and taking targeted actions aimed at
promoters of abusive tax schemes.

On the offshore front, the CRA continues to develop tools to improve
its focus on high‑risk taxpayers. It is also considering changes to
its Voluntary Disclosures Program following the first set of program
recommendations received from an independent Offshore Compliance
Advisory Committee. In addition, the CRA is leading international
projects to address the base erosion and profit shifting initiative of
the G20 and the Organisation for Economic Co-operation and
Development, and is collaborating with treaty partners to address the
Panama Papers leaks.

These actions are evidence of the government’s commitment to
protecting tax fairness. The CRA has strengthened its intelligence and
technical capacities for the early detection of abusive tax
arrangements and deterrence of those who participate in them. To
ensure compliance, it has increased the number of actions aimed at
promoters who use illegal schemes. These measures include increased
audits of such promoters, improved information gathering, criminal
investigations where warranted, and better communication with
taxpayers.

To deter potential taxpayer involvement in these schemes, the CRA is
increasing notifications and warnings through its communications
products. It also seeks partnerships with tax preparers, accountants,
and community groups so that they can become informed observers who
can educate their clients.

The CRA will assess penalties against promoters and other
representatives who make false statements involving illegal tax
schemes. The promotion of tax schemes to defraud the government can
lead to criminal investigations, fingerprinting, criminal prosecution,
court fines, and jail time.

Between April 1, 2011, and March 31, 2016, the CRA’s criminal
investigations resulted in the conviction of 42 Canadian taxpayers for
tax evasion with links to money and assets held offshore. In total,
the $34 million in evaded taxes resulted in court fines of $12 million
and 734 months of jail time.

When deciding to pursue compliance actions through the courts, the CRA
consults the Department of Justice Canada to choose an appropriate
solution. Complex tax-related litigation is costly and time consuming,
and the outcome may be unsuccessful. All options to recover amounts
owed are considered.

More specifically, in relation to the KPMG Isle of Man tax avoidance
scheme, publicly available court records show that it is through the
CRA’s efforts that the scheme was discovered. The CRA identified many
of the participants and continues to actively pursue the matter. The
CRA has also identified at least 10 additional tax structures on the
Isle of Man, and is auditing taxpayers in relation to these
structures.

To ensure tax fairness, the CRA commissioned an independent review in
March 2016 to determine if it had acted appropriately concerning KPMG
and its clients. In her review, Ms. Kimberley Brooks, Associate
Professor and former Dean of the Schulich School of Law at Dalhousie
University, examined the CRA’s operational processes and decisions in
relation to the KPMG offshore tax structure and its efforts to obtain
the names of all taxpayers participating in the scheme. Following this
review, the report, released on May 5, 2016, concluded that the CRA
had acted appropriately in its management of the KPMG Isle of Man
file. The report found that the series of compliance measures the CRA
took were in accordance with its policies and procedures. It was
concluded that the procedural actions taken on the KPMG file were
appropriate given the facts of this particular case and were
consistent with the treatment of taxpayers in similar situations. The
report concluded that actions by CRA employees were in accordance with
the CRA’s Code of Integrity and Professional Conduct. There was no
evidence of inappropriate interaction between KPMG and the CRA
employees involved in the case.

Under the CRA’s Code of Integrity and Professional Conduct, all CRA
employees are responsible for real, apparent, or potential conflicts
of interests between their current duties and any subsequent
employment outside of the CRA or the Public Service of Canada.
Consequences and corrective measures play an important role in
protecting the CRA’s integrity.

The CRA takes misconduct very seriously. The consequences of
misconduct depend on the gravity of the incident and its repercussions
on trust both within and outside of the CRA. Misconduct can result in
disciplinary measures up to dismissal.

All forms of tax evasion are illegal. The CRA manages the Informant
Leads Program, which handles leads received from the public regarding
cases of tax evasion across the country. This program, which
coordinates all the leads the CRA receives from informants, determines
whether there has been any non-compliance with tax law and ensures
that the information is examined and conveyed, if applicable, so that
compliance measures are taken. This program does not offer any reward
for tips received.

The new Offshore Tax Informant Program (OTIP) has also been put in
place. The OTIP offers financial compensation to individuals who
provide information related to major cases of offshore tax evasion
that lead to the collection of tax owing. As of December 31, 2016, the
OTIP had received 963 calls and 407 written submissions from possible
informants. Over 218 taxpayers are currently under audit based on
information the CRA received through the OTIP.

With a focus on the highest-risk sectors nationally and
internationally and an increased ability to gather information, the
CRA has the means to target taxpayers who try to hide their income.
For example, since January 2015, the CRA has been collecting
information on all international electronic funds transfers (EFTs) of
$10,000 or more ending or originating in Canada. It is also adopting a
proactive approach by focusing each year on four jurisdictions that
raise suspicion. For the Isle of Man, the CRA audited 3,000 EFTs
totalling $860 million over 12 months and involving approximately 800
taxpayers. Based on these audits, the CRA communicated with
approximately 350 individuals and 400 corporations and performed 60
audits.

In January 2017, I reaffirmed Canada’s important role as a leader for
tax authorities around the world in detecting the structures used for
aggressive tax planning and tax evasion. This is why Canada works
daily with the Joint International Tax Shelter Information Centre
(JITSIC), a network of tax administrations in over 35 countries. The
CRA participates in two expert groups within the JITSIC and leads the
working group on intermediaries and proponents. This ongoing
collaboration is a key component of the CRA’s work to develop strong
relationships with the international community, which will help it
refine the world-class tax system that benefits all Canadians.

The CRA is increasing its efforts and is seeing early signs of
success. Last year, the CRA recovered just under $13 billion as a
result of its audit activities on the domestic and offshore fronts.
Two-thirds of these recoveries are the result of its audit efforts
relating to large businesses and multinational companies.

But there is still much to do, and additional improvements and
investments are underway.

Tax cheats are having a harder and harder time hiding. Taxpayers who
choose to promote or participate in malicious and illegal tax
strategies must face the consequences of their actions. Canadians
expect nothing less. I invite you to read my most recent statement on
this matter at canada.ca/en/revenue-agency/news/2017/03/
statement_from_thehonourabledianelebouthillierministerofnational.

Thank you for taking the time to write. I hope the information I have
provided is helpful.

Sincerely,


The Honourable Diane Lebouthillier
Minister of National Revenue
