I must admit that despite the many years I have dedicated to finding the true answer to one simple question and the volumes of evidence compiled in support of the seemingly inescapable conclusions that a natural person, as defined in the Canadian Law dictionary, 4th Ed., by John A. Yogis, Q.C., acting in their own capacity for their own benefit, is NOT directly included within the definition of the word "person" as defined in subsection 248(1) of the Income Tax Act, and the CRA does NOT  have the constitution jurisdiction and legislative authority to levy an income tax on the private property of a natural person, it would be nice to obtain some clear and unequivocal official confirmation as to whether or not these conclusions had any validity.
 
Nevertheless, considering the repetitive pattern of evasive behaviour the CRA, and to some degree the government in general, has displayed over the years, it serves me right for foolishly expecting open and honest communications from a government that, despite its preaching of transparency, appears to be nothing more than puppets of the global elite.
 
 After all, once you see for yourself that the government is willing to lie, cheat, and steal when it come to income taxes, then why would you expect them to be telling the truth about being open and transparent. Apparently, these words are merely pacifying sound bites that are whispered in the ears of the populace, keeping them feeling warm and cozy as they sleep their lives away with dreams of being taken care of from cradle to grave.
 
Anyways, over the years I periodically succumbed to the hope that perhaps someone in an official capacity would have the courage and integrity to openly confirm or deny the seemingly inescapable conclusions that have been reached.
 
 
 
2002 Prime Minister Jean Chrétien
 
One moment of hope began shortly after the writing of numerous letters to various departments of the federal government proved to be all for not. In December of 2002 I wrote a letter to the then Prime Minister Jean Chrétien.
 
If you have previously visited the Inside Paradigm page you most likely have already read the first letter I wrote in search of some official confirmation. However, if you haven't yet had the opportunity to read it, click on the following link.

Prime Minister Jean Chrétien
 
PS. Don't bother looking for his response, as none was ever received.
 
 
 
2005 ~ 1145 MPs & MLAs
 
A few years later, in 2005, I succumbed to my hope again, but this time I thought I would incur the expense and send a registered letter asking one simple question, along with a copy of Paradigm's "Income Tax Is No Longer As Certain As Death" brochure, to every federal MP and provincial MLA in Canada.
 
You would think that with 1145 letters going to individuals we're taught to trust and respect, my chances of receiving a clear and unequivocal answer to one simple question would be greatly improved. Think again.
 
Now this is not to say I never received any responses. In fact, I received a total of 12. Yeah I know, approximately 1% response is pathetic, but considering even one clear and unequivocal answer to one simple question would have been enough to preserve my faith in the political system, my hope was somewhat renewed.
 
That was of course until I started reading the actual contents of the responses I did receive. To date I have received a total of 12 responses. 6 were merely acknowledgements of receipt of my letter and brochure, 5 were what could be easily called brief “non-responses”, and one, which I had to chuckle as I read it, was a response informing me the MP had "passed the buck", so to speak, on to the then Minister of National Revenue, the then Honourable John McCallum.

2007 ~ Prime Minister Stephen Harper
 
This brings us to 2007. One night while feeling all hope for a clear and unequivocal answer to one simple question was all but lost, I was watching the Propaganda channel, I mean the News channel, and I caught the end of an interview between a reporter and Jay Hill, the Conservative's Party Whip. The Party Whip is the guy who's job it is to ensure your elected representatives don't represent you. Anyways, he sounded sincere as he told the reporter what an honest man Prime Minister Mr. Harper was, and how he was a man of integrity.
 
Succumbing to my hope that the words he was speaking weren't just more of the same pacifying sound bites of the past, I felt encouraged by believing that if his words were true, then Prime Minister Harper would provide me clear and unequivocal official confirmation as to whether or not the seemingly inescapable conclusions of our research were accurate.
 
Here's the letter I sent to Prime Minister Harper. At the time of this writing I was only aware of a total of 11 responses to the letter I sent to every federal MP and provincial MLA back in 2005, not all 12 as we previously discussed.  In addition, I think it only fair to warn you it's a bit lengthy, 6 pages to be exact. Considering the results of my past efforts, I wanted to ensure that the Prime Minister had a clear understanding of the one simple question I was asking.
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
Guess What Happen Next?
 
Within a few weeks I got a response, sort of. It wasn't written personally by Prime Minister Harper, but on behalf of him, by his Executive Correspondence Officer, L.A. Lavell. Here it is, and may I suggest you read it very carefully and very thoroughly, as it appears to speak volumes.
 
 
 
This response was all I ever received, even the Minister of National Revenue, the Honourable Carol Skelton, never felt it necessary to provide a response after she was made aware of my comments. So the question is, is this an official confirmation or what?
 
Well, let's consider the two possible answers to this question. First, for fun let's take the position that this is not an official confirmation, and imagine the kind of conclusion a naysayer might jump to and a typical type of response he would have.
 
 
.Ned The Naysayer
.
Well, just because you received a letter, which by the way is nothing more than a standard template letter acknowledging receipt of your letter, and just because neither the Prime Minister or the Minister of National Revenue answered your question within a reasonable time, to suggest that this is some kind of official confirmation and that you have some kind of rights the government didn't give you, is totally ludicrous. You're so stupid.
 
Humph...You guys are all the same. Just think about it, you moron. If you don't pay your fair share then how are we going to pay for the roads?
.
 
Okay, that may have been a little over the top, but you get my point.
 
Nevertheless, Ned has a right to his opinion, even though it's clear he really didn't understand what was written in both the letter and the response. Too bad his sunglasses were a little too dark to see what was right in front of his face. After all, I'd hate to think Ned is intentionally choosing to be wilfully blind.
 
Now even though the Prime Minister or the Minister of National Revenue never provided a clear and unequivocal answer to the one simple question asked in the letter, is it reasonable to conclude that this response, and the absence of any other response within a reasonable time,  constituents an official confirmation, albeit tacit.
 
In fact, the alternative would require a reasonable person to conclude, especially after considering the letter as a whole, the repetitive assurances expressed in the response, as well as the fact that if this isn't an official confirmation, albeit tacit, that the Prime Minister is not a man of integrity, and as such, he dishonoured his position of public trust and intentionally remained silent to knowingly cause harm to others. Which, be it true or not, I see no evidence that this is the case.
 
In closing, whether this response and the absence of any other response can actually be considered to be an official confirmation or not, I'll leave for each individual to decide for them self.
 
However, considering I also wrote this letter on behalf of other natural persons who have diligently spent their time and energy studying their human rights and fundamental freedoms, those who are also aware of the doctrines of Public Law Estoppel and Legitimate Expectation ought to, after years of sincerely seeking official confirmation, be able to finally sleep through the night with the comfort of being officially assured that a natural person is NOT directly included within the definition of the word "person" as defined in subsection 248(1) of the Income Tax Act, and the CRA does NOT have the constitution jurisdiction and legislative authority to levy an income tax on the private property of a natural person.
 
 
 

Subtle Confirmations

 
This last section is where we'll post more examples of other types of confirmations that  have knowingly or unknowingly slipped through the lips of those who know.
 
To facilitate the sharing of these other confirmations we will post them as they are submitted, which may be a bit slower than other submissions on this site as fear still has powerful grip on those who feel Canada's whistle blower legislation lacks the protection they feel they need.
 
  As time will show, these types of more subtle confirmations can come from anywhere. Such as from brave whistle blowers who can no longer live with themselves looking the other way, or as the first example shows, from individuals who've educated themselves enough to know the proper questions to ask.
 
I'm sure as the Tax Game moves closer to its last days of existence, more and more people, be they from inside the CRA, professional associations, or the populace in general will be willing to share the confirmations they've been privy to. So for now, we'll start by sharing a few examples of subtle confirmations we have been made aware of.
 
 
Subtle Confirmation #1
 
The first example is in regards to the T-5018 Contract Reporting System. An individual was under contract with a business owner that believed he needed to issue a T-5018 as purportedly required. When the individual brought in the appropriate forms to educate the business owner of the legislative reality that the company was not required to issue a T-5018 slip in regards to a natural person carrying on a business without reasonable expectation for profit, regardless if he/she makes more than $30,000 or not, as under these conditions a natural person is not even required to register for GST, the business owner asked the individual to explain his understanding to the company's Charter Accountant. 
 
Within seconds after the individual reiterated his understanding to the company's Chartered Accountant, the account, nodding in agreement, replied, "Yeah, I know what your saying is correct, but were told not to talk about it."
 
I wonder who the Chartered Accountant was referring to when she said, "we're told not to talk about it."  Even though we all may never know for sure, I think it's safe to assume she was referring to the association of Chartered Accountants.
 
The sad thing about this assumption, if in fact she was referring to her professional association, is that this would mean that some professional associations are intentionally acting in collusion with the CRA to keep the masses subjected to a life of economic servitude, and in an attempt by some within these associations to protect their own individual vested interests, they're collectively becoming wilful accomplices to the biggest fraud in Canadian history.
 
 
Subtle Confirmation #2
 
Another example of a subtle confirmation comes from the transcripts of the R. vs. Sydel case. However, this one is a lot more technical than the first example, as understanding what was actually said requires a fairly good understanding of the definition of a couple of words from subsection 248(1) of the Income Tax Act.
 
Jamie Morrison, an agent of the CRA, when being cross-examined about some diary notes made by another agent, inadvertently let it slip that the "taxpayer", and the "delinquent tax filer" which is one example of a word or expression descriptive of a "person", therefore is a "person" as defined in subsection 248(1) of the Income Tax Act, such as the "legal representative", are not one and the same.
 
Morison’s Testimony on Day-4, Pg.72, Line1-7 in the Sydel Case
.
1     A          I don't know, I didn't make the note.
 
2     Q         Well, what do you think third party means?  Does
 
3                 it have any meaning or is it nonsense?
 
4     A          Well, it usually means --
 
5     Q         The taxpayer?
 
6     A          Yeah, the third party (taxpayer, as defined in the Income Tax Act) is somebody separated from
 
7                   the -- from the delinquent tax filer. (person, as defined in the Income Tax Act. ie. legal representative)
.                                                                                         Parentheses and italics mine
 
The importance of understanding this distinction is because the CRA adamantly holds tight to their unsubstantiated position that a natural person, "taxpayer", and "legal representative" are all one and the same. Yet Morrison's own testimony makes it clear that when the words "third party" are used in diary notes they usually mean the "taxpayer", and as he said himself, the "taxpayer" is somebody separated from the "delinquent tax filer".
 
Well let's think this through... Even if a "delinquent tax filer" was a natural person acting in their own capacity, which it's not as it can only be a natural person to the extent they act in the capacity of "legal representative" which is included in the definition of the word "person" and "delinquent tax filer" is merely a word or expression descriptive of a "person", then even Morrison's own testimony confirms the fact that the "taxpayer",  is neither the "delinquent tax filer", the "legal representative" or the "person", all of which can be one and the same.
 
Whether Morrison knowingly or unknowingly let these words slip through his lips, his subtle confirmation itself exposes the intentional deception behind the CRA's unsubstantiated position that a natural person, "taxpayer", and "legal representative" are all one and the same.
