Having a private jet and expensive cars don't necessarily mean tax fraud. I would say people who have disappeared are more likely guilty.

The entire taxation structure is regressive and made in such a way that honest and working class people are made to pay through their noses while manipulative individuals and corporations can milk the Canadian exchequer for their own good, while using the complex tax rebate programs set up by governments over years to supposedly help people but ends up helping those who knows how to find the loopholes and steal from the system. It is very disappointing and frustrating that our hard earned money goes out from our pocket in the name of income tax, property tax, HST on goods and services and we are discouraged to earn more while people living on subsidies, welfares and corporations defrauding CRA are the ones that are benefiting. Shame!

Financial fraud is something that is celebrated by the courts in Manitoba. I have been asked twice, by provincial services, to defraud the Manitoba government. I have been asked twice to steal money meant to help low income families. I had a judge that punished me, telling me I was SUPPOSED to steal that money. I hope the rest of Canada is happy paying equalization payments to a province that keeps itself poor.
