“Hello, this is the Canada Revenue Agency…” – yes, it's really us this time! However, there are bad actors who will impersonate employees of the CRA and other government departments for fraud and scam attempts. Some scams are easy to spot, and some are not! In this episode, we continue with information to protect yourself from these attempts. On the previous episode, we met with the Canadian Anti-Fraud Centre for tips on protecting yourself from fraud and scams. On this episode, we now meet with a CRA expert to discuss when and how the CRA may legitimately contact taxpayers, and how the CRA helps protect your information if you were scammed. We also meet with a member of the CRA's marketing team, to talk about our efforts to inform Canadians about scams through the Be Scam Smart escape rooms you may have seen in malls across Canada in 2024.

In the latest episode of The Line Podcast, recorded during the week of Oct. 28, 2024, Matt Gurney finds a way to make a podcast without Jen Gerson. And, it turns out, it involves bringing in Jen Gerson.Okay, okay, let us explain: this episode of the podcast is different than normal since Jen is in Israel. So for the first segment, she joins Matt from her hotel room in Jerusalem for a talk about what she has seen overseas (and she has seen more than planned!) and also, how it's left her feeling. Feeling about the conflict itself, of course, but also feeling about humanity. This episode of The Line Podcast is brought to you by Unsmoke Canada. Canada can be a global leader in reducing the harm caused by smoking, but it requires actionable steps, including giving adult smokers the information they need to choose potentially less harmful alternatives. Learn more at Unsmoke.ca.Matt still had a whole podcast to fill, though, so after his chat with Jen, he got by with a little help from his friends. First up was David Shipley, an old friend and colleague of Matt's who is a former reporter, former soldier and, today, a cybersecurity expert at Beauceron Security, where he is co-founder and CEO. David recently saw a story in the CBC that made his blood run hot — the Canada Revenue Agency has timidly and belatedly acknowledged a major error, and the official reaction was ... nothing? No one cared. David wants us to get mad. Matt thinks he's right.Next, Matt is joined by two friends, who happen to be seasoned political operatives. He has been wanting to get someone to answer — on the record! — a question about what it feels like to lose a campaign. What it feels like when a war room knows it's all going wrong. When the bad news keeps coming. When a winnable campaign starts to slip through your grasp. He has had a hard time finding people who wanted to talk about that — because, honestly, it's asking them to relive something that was upsetting and maybe even traumatic.But he finally found his people! Mitch Heimpel is a regular contributor to The Line, and a consultant today, but spent years inside the Conservative Party of Canada as a staffer and war-room guy. He's with public-affairs firm Enterprise Canada. Erin Morrison has been a political communicator and strategist in two legislatures and at the House of Commons for over a decade, working for multiple NDP leaders. She's been the director of communications and campaign deputy director on campaigns across Canada and federally. She's the founder of Morrison Comms Inc.It's an unusual episode of The Line Podcast, but we think a pretty good one, and we hope you enjoy it. God willing, Jen will be back to Calgary safe and sound by next week, and we'll get back to our normal episodes, but we hope this one tides you over. Like and subscribe! Tell all your friends!

HST on Resale Homes: What Every Ontario Buyer Needs to Know Purchasing a resale home in Ontario is an exciting milestone, but it's important to understand how taxes like the Harmonized Sales Tax, or HST, might come into play. Let's take a closer look at how HST could affect your home purchase, particularly when it comes to the property's prior use. Generally, when buying a resale home, HST does not apply to the purchase price. But there are exceptions, especially if the property was previously used for commercial purposes. For example, if the home was ever operated as an Airbnb or had any kind of commercial use, HST might be applicable, even if the property is now being sold as a residential home. It's important to understand that the Canada Revenue Agency, or CRA, is more concerned with the property's prior use rather than its current zoning. This means that even if the property is zoned residential, if it was used commercially in the past, HST could still be an issue. Because the implications of HST can be complex and situation-specific, I want to make it clear that I'm not a tax expert. If you think any of these situations might apply to the property you're purchasing, I strongly recommend consulting with a tax professional or your lawyer to get accurate advice tailored to your circumstances. Understanding where HST might be applied, particularly with properties that have a history of commercial use, can help you avoid surprises and ensure you're fully prepared. By staying informed and seeking professional advice, you can confidently navigate the resale home market in Ontario. For more information, reach out to us today. We're here to help you every step of the way.
When news broke of the Jewish National Fund of Canada losing its charitable status on Aug. 10, the move meant the Canada Revenue Agency also stripped the venerable Jewish charity of its ability to issue tax receipts to donors. This poses a serious challenge to the historic Zionist fundraising organization–which received $20.2 million in donations in 2023: will supporters still want to give money to JNF Canada for environmental and resilience projects in Israel if they can no longer write the philanthropy off on their Canadian income tax forms? Some donors are taking a wait and see approach, but want answers as to why JNF Canada admits it kept quiet for years about its problems with the federal tax auditors who warned them about "repeated and serious non-compliance" with Canadian tax rules dating back to at least 2014, and earlier. But other philanthropists say the bureaucrats didn't treate JNF Canada fairly, and they expect the charity will win both of its appeals in court: to block the suspension, and to eventually overturn it. On today's episode of The CJN Daily, we're joined by two prominent JNF Canada donors: Jonathan Goodman of Montreal, who is raising $10 million for JNF Canada's new Climate Solutions Prize to boost "green technology", and also by Mary Ellen Herman of Toronto, who donated half the cost of an accessible playground built in southern Israel.

The CEO of the embattled Jewish National Fund of Canada, Lance Davis, insists he is now “running a very tight ship” in the wake of the Canada Revenue Agency's recent decision to strip the historic Zionist fundraising organization of its charitable status. Davis, who became JNF Canada's CEO in 2017, maintains that many of the government's longstanding concerns had already been addressed in years past. In an interview with The CJN Daily, Davis blasted the CRA for deliberately choosing the harshest punishment for the venerated Zionist charity, which has sent more than $200 million to beautify Israel and help vulnerable people there. He also argues the CRA rushed to pull the trigger on its status too early, given how JNF's legal dispute is still before the courts. However, documents obtained by The Canadian Jewish News paint a more nuanced picture of why the CRA lost its patience after a decade of "major concerns" about "repeated and serious non-compliance” with Canada's Income Tax Act rules. As reported in The CJN's print feature that digs into the paperwork, the auditors quietly told the Jewish charity several times that it needed to clean up its act, and by 2019, JNF Canada knew Ottawa was moving to revoke. Yet the charity still got five more years to comply. Lance Davis joins The CJN Daily to explain JNF Canada's point of view, then we're joined once again by charity law expert Mark Blumberg who helps explain how the charity got to this point, what could have prevented this scenario and why the government stopped waiting.

The official revocation notice of the Jewish National Fund of Canada's charity status, published in the Canada Gazette on Aug. 10, caught many by surprise—especially JNF officials themselves. Lance Davis, CEO of JNF Canada, says the venerable Jewish charity was “blindsided” by the Canada Revenue Agency's move because it came so quickly, despite efforts to negotiate a solution. It also came only two weeks after JNF Canada said that, if no deal was reached, it would appeal the government's “biased” findings to the Federal Court of Appeal. Experts say losing the charitable status means JNF Canada can no longer issue tax receipts for donations; it has one year to wind down business, dispose of all its financial assets or pay 100 percent tax on the millions in its accounts, and go out of business. JNF Canada says it is now going to apply for an immediate judicial review to stop the clock on what its spokespeople call Ottawa's “draconian” approach. Meanwhile opponents of the six-decade-old pro-Israel charity—including the NDP, the Green Party, Independent Jewish Voices and Just Peace Advocates—have been loudly proclaiming victory after years of complaints that the charity's Canadian donors have been funding projects in the West Bank and directly helping the IDF. (JNF Canada says they stopped doing this in 2016.) On today's episode of The CJN Daily, we ask if JNF Canada was a victim of politics—or the author of its own misfortune. Our guest is charity law expert Mark Blumberg. What we talked about Read why the CRA revoked the charitable status of the Jewish National Fund of Canada on Aug. 10, 2024.

A sudden pause in the war of words and legal action between the federal and Saskatchewan governments. A hearing scheduled at the Federal Court yesterday was cancelled as the Saskatchewan and federal governments are in reportedly in talks. On Monday the Saskatchewan Attorney General stated the province had sought and been granted an emergency injunction to stop the Canada Revenue Agency from any collection/garnishment action by CRA against the province's bank account under the Greenhouse Gas Pollution Pricing Act. According to CRA, Saskatchewan owes Ottawa more than $50 million under the Act, while the province argues the Trudeau government's demands are unconstitutional. This after the federal government earlier this year removed the tax on home heating oil for Atlantic Canada for 3 years, but refused to extend the tax pause to other provinces and other means of home heating. Saskatchewan has neither collected, nor remitted to Ottawa any taxes on home heating fuels since January 1, 2024, as Premier Scott Moe last December promised us first on air Saskatchewan would not do so.

First on the agenda is the Liberals' attempt to link Pierre Poilievre to the right-wing group "diagolon," igniting accusations of smear tactics and political mudslinging. We delve into the complexities of guilt by association, the implications for political discourse, and the strategies at play in the lead-up to the election. But the drama doesn't end there – we explore Prime Minister Trudeau's bold statement, declaring that the Canada Revenue Agency will be coming after Premier Scott Moe. As tensions between federal and provincial governments escalate, we analyze the legal and political implications of this high-stakes showdown. Amidst the political firestorm, we hear from doctors voicing frustration over the Capital Gains Tax Increase, shedding light on the challenges facing healthcare professionals and the potential impact on patient care. On the economic front, we delve into the beginnings of the Loblaw's boycott set to begin in May, examining the consumer activism movement, the corporate response, and the broader implications for the retail giant and Canadian consumers. And in an exclusive interview, we sit down with a couple caught in a bylaw battle with the city of Halifax, offering a firsthand account of the challenges faced by ordinary citizens in navigating bureaucratic red tape and local government regulations. 0:00 - Intro 7:35 - Poilievre, Diagolon & Political Division 29:24 - Trudeau Says CRA will go After Premier Moe 41:08 - Doctors Fight Back Against Capital Gains Tax Increase 50:33 - Loblaw Boycott Begins 53:25 - Housing Bylaw Fiasco
This week we unravel the charged rhetoric as Liberals accuse Conservatives of being vulnerable to misinformation. We delve into the political strategies, media narratives, and societal implications of this heated debate. Next, we pivot to the heart of Ottawa, where farmers from across the nation converge in protest on April 1st. We explore the motivations behind this mass mobilization, the grievances driving their demands, and the potential impact on agricultural policy. But the protests don't stop there – we shift our focus to Newfoundland and Labrador, where fishers take to the streets to demand increased competition in the province. We analyze the dynamics of this grassroots movement, the challenges facing the fishing industry, and the implications for local economies. In a shocking twist, we uncover allegations of the Canada Revenue Agency potentially operating a debt recovery process. We investigate the claims, the implications for taxpayers, and the accountability measures in place to address such concerns. And as tensions simmer, we explore the growing wave of boycotts erupting around Loblaws. From consumer activism to corporate responsibility, we delve into the factors fueling these boycotts and their impact on the retail giant's bottom line.

However the judge stopped short of intervening in the federal examination. We speak with Nabil Sultan, Communications and Community Engagement Director at the Muslim Association of Canada.
Kevin J. Johnston, Canada's MOST CENSORED MAN! Over lunch, I had a conversation with a number of people who didn't seem to understand that the Canada Revenue Agency, the thieves that are the equivalent of the American IRS, are a powerless body who cannot do any harm to you. This man who is in his 60s actually told everybody at the table that Canada Revenue Agency could walk into your house and take all of your property if you did not do your taxes on time or if you forgot to file. Everybody at the table was shocked to find out that statement of his was incorrect, but they were even more surprised to find out that you don't actually have to pay income tax in Canada. That of course will be a long story to be told on another day but the reason that all of you comply with every stupid thing that is asked of you is because none of you do any research of your own. You assume that there are laws in place granting people who have no power the power to take what you have. If a Canada Revenue Agency employee enters your property, you can trespass them and if they try to enter your house, you really can't beat the living shit out of them. They are not police officers they would not be there with a warrant and they are unable to get a warrant because they are not law enforcement. It really really blows my mind, that adults are so afraid of concepts that they have never once witnessed themselves exist as something that is true and to be feared. Remember the proverb that I wrote? "When you make a decision based on fear it is 100% wrong 100% of the time." People who work for Canada Revenue Agency are losers and they are very weak individuals mentally, physically and spiritually and that is why they took an uncreative and unimaginative job such as making phone calls to decent human beings across the country specifically to harass them, extort them, threaten them and in some cases drive them to suicide. Everybody who works for Canada Revenue Agency should be in prison, but rest assured everybody they have no authority to take anything that you have. Before you flip off at the gums you should know what you're talking about. Watch The Kevin J.

Guest: Stephanie Levitz, federal politics reporter Over 100,000 federal civil servants went on strike on April 19, impacting government services like passport offices, immigration support and the Canada Revenue Agency. The issues include higher wages, remote work, seniority rights and contract workers. A week later, there was motion in addressing some of these, but the union says it has “compromised” on its significant wage demand. Meanwhile, political leaders in Ottawa are using this strike as a way to speak to the labour vote and are walking a very fine line. This episode was produced by Brian Bradley, Paulo Marques and Raju Mudhar. Audio Sources: Global News

Picket lines have been set up at major government buildings and ministers' offices across the country as more than a hundred thousand public servants go on strike. After nearly two years of bargaining without a contract, the Public Service Alliance of Canada (PSAC) says Ottawa has failed to propose a reasonable agreement and wage increases that keep apace with inflation. But the government says the union's demands are untenable. Meanwhile, Canadians could see delays in accessing government services as passport office workers, immigration processing staff and most Canada Revenue Agency employees will be off the job in the biggest labour action the federal government has seen in nearly 20 years. Today, J.P. Tasker, a reporter with CBC's parliamentary bureau, walks us through the points of contention, how the government is responding and the possible consequences.
