Re: Canadian Currency no good with the CRA (starting Monday)! ILLEGALITY BY CRA
MattSalleh
this situation in November 2006.
Sun media carried the story on Friday November 24 2006.
At no time have CRA stated under what authority they are
BREAKING THE LAWS OF CANADA, which stipulate that
banknotes are legal tender!!
Looks like Alan Baggett is not the only foe of EXTORTION CANADA.
Anyone in Winnipeg wishing to take on CRA about this issue, like
Mr. Harris did about CRA REFUSING TO COLLECT THE
$1500 MILLION FROM THE BRONFMAN GANG?

Grosvenor is right about 2% of the time. Mulroney was wrong to give that tax
break to the Bronfman family but since he was a lying, drunken, adulterer
I'm not too shocked. Can't blame Bronfman family for taking advantage
ability. Grosvenor is an Anti-Semite who changes nicks to avoid kill-filing.
He should clean Ken McVay's shoes as penance and contribute 10% of his
income to an Israeli charity.

You think companies do that on purpose :-) As long as you pay on time that

methods then that is fine.

Why should Mulroney be excused for giving the ZYD BRONFMANS a free

Hardly. The Bronfmans are evidence that Canadians, Jewish or no, are wet

There is also a law which states (perhaps a lawyer can look this up) if
a business refuses to take cash for a product or service they have
refused payment. The result is if they refuse payment then the service
or product is free. The argument is "I tried to pay and they wouldn't
accept it. I have witnesses who are willing to swear to it. The
individual in question who refused payment was Joe Blow."
The local phone company in Manitoba tried this a number of years ago. I
couldn't go in anywhere and pay cash. They wanted a cheque, money order,
credit card, or bank card. Each of those options came with a service
charge. Effectively it raised the monthly cost for a bare bones phone
line with no features from $30.00 to as much as $40.00. They were
closing local outlets and demanding we go to drug stores, banks, and the
like. I phoned them up and complained about this. Their bean counters
(arrogant SOBs they were) didn't believe me until they checked with the
lawyers. Sure enough they re-opened some local outlets within a week.

They still have rules to follow. They have to take the person to court
first. When in court just bring evidence you made the effort. Bring a
photocopy of the pages containing the law you refer to. Highlight the
relevant portion. The argument is "Your Honour, I TRIED to pay. Here is
the proof. They refused payment. According to law XYZ if they refuse
payment then I don't have to pay. If YOU say I still have to pay
especially after THEY SAID they didn't really want me to pay then I will
do so gladly. Here is the cash."

An Agency of the Canadian Government refusing to accept legal tender
seems absolutely ridiculous.
Maybe the real reason behind all this is a cost cutting measure - they
can abdicate all transaction costs and foist them onto the banks. Make
them pay for it. And the banks can raise the fees that they charge us.
Or maybe the government has no faith in the Canadian currency. And
they're going to replace it with that of another nation.
I would rather look at loonies and twonies over Washington and
Jefferson (or Susan B Anthony) any day.

Since it is the government of Canada that prints the worthless paper called
banknotes, which includes the expression about being legal tender,
under what basis of law can the same government then REFUSE
TO ACCEPT THEIR LEGAL TENDER AT THE CRA?
That they prefer to not have to do any work is obvious, which is why they ask
for cheque or money order, so they do not need to count cash, which involves
some of the staff actually working for their overpaid salaries.

Cite the Law that says you must accept Canadian banknotes! I doubt their
is a law requiring anyone to accept cash. Many merchants are refusing
cash because banks now charge 2% to deposit cash into commercial
accounts. I guess this will appear soon enough on consumer accounts.
