Citizens and Small Businesses to File a Landmark Proposed Class Suit Against CRA

FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE
(Free-Press-Release.com) May 31, 2009 -- It is the duty of the Canada Revenue Agency (CRA) and the Government of Canada to serve the Canadian public not to enslave them. The CRA commits criminal acts with impunity. The CRA forces Citizens and Businesses into bankruptcy. Canadian families lose their homes, businesses and income as a result of taxpayer abuse by CRA who are above the law.

The grounds for the proposed Class Suit include extortion, breach of trust, abuse of process, negligence, fraud, discrimination, harassment, intentional infliction of emotional distress, breach of privacy, breech of confidential relationship, invasion of privacy, arbitrary targeting of taxpayers and abuse of power

This precedent setting case, "Jury awards B.C. man $1.3M for taxman's raid", resulted in the Supreme Court Jury of B.C. ruling that the CRA invasion and search of a citizens home violated the privacy protection in Section 7 and the right to be secure against unreasonable search or seizure in Section 8 of the Charter of Rights.

The Minister of Justice and CRA are appealing the $1.3 M compensation awarded by the jury because it is greater than all the previous awards given to victims of CRA search and seizure.

On May 26,2009 Louise Dickson of the Times Colonist writes that the Court gave the Saanich man access to the Landmark $1.3-million judgment against CRA awarded for unreasonable search.

According to Kim Bolan as reported in the Vancouver Sun on July 21, 2008, - B.C. Hells Angels - got the CRA to withdraw demands for detailed financial information about their earnings and assets, including any - hidden - outside the country because it violated the Income Tax Act and the Charter of Rights and Freedoms.

On Thursday, April 23, 2009, Kathy Tomlinson of CBC News interviewed Jill Moore and Irvin Leroux who lost their business and home in B.C. in a tax fight with the CRA over a million-dollar tax bill not owed — and won —.

Glen McGregor of the Ottawa Citizen reports that Tory MP Dick Harris who tried to help Leroux, called federal tax the CRA terrorists.

Wally Oppal, former Attorney General of B.C did not respond to the Notice of Claim for the Statement of Claim- File No. S-116959 in New Westminster, B.C, which objects to such a "bogus" notice of liens used to change the title of a Canadian citizen's properties.

Donors owe millions in taxes and numerous charities lose revenues after CRA revokes charitable status from one charity after another. John Nicol of CBC News reported that Lawyer David Thompson of Scarfone Hawkins LLP who filed a Class Suit against Banyan Tree Foundation said that the CRA should also take some responsibility.

Bud Webster a former foster parent from Victoria, so broke and depressed he wanted to kill himself, launched a lawsuit against the province of B.C., because the CRA illegally taxed his income and caused him to incur $100,000 in legal bills.
