Oh lordy, do we have a "Freeman" amongst us now?

 

TAXES ARE LEGAL.

HST IS LEGAL.

ALIENS DO NOT PROBE HUMAN ANUSES.

THE CIA/CASTRO DID NOT ASSASSINATE PRESIDENT KENNEDY.

9/11 WAS NOT AN "INSIDE JOB".

Crabbygit, shame on you if you are a freeloading tax evader. If you don't like being a part of society, make a mineral claim and build a cabin out in the woods.

[Mike K.]

Ok fellas, let's not make things personal.

 

crabbygit's points are valid. The history of taxation as presented by him/her are an interesting addendum to this discussion.

[jonny]

crabbygit's points are valid.

 

It's a bogus claim that has no basis in law and has been refuted by the courts. Section 91 of the Constitution gives the federal government the power to raise money "by any mode or system of taxation".

 

In Canada, anybody can ask the courts to declare a law unconstitutional. Just one small footnote though - in all of the years of taxation in Canada no court has ever agreed with crabbygit's claims.

Quite an attacking, abusive string of assumptions/statements and labels from some one who knows nothing about me. But your comments do support Einsteins observation with regards condemnation.



The basis of any society and the formation of a nation is based on the founding documents in many cases a constitution an instrument which contains the fundamental principles, rules, laws and edicts by which a government and citizens shall live by, once ratified by the people.

In Canada we have the BNA Act 1867 (regardless of subsequent amendments), the founding documents for the BNA Act as were written up in the Quebec resolutions in 1866 the "intent" of the founders on page 4 of those resolutions it clearly states at #43 The Local Legislatures shall power to make laws respecting the following subjects:-

1 'Direct Taxation' and imposition of duties on the export of timber, logs, masts,spars,deals and sawn lumber and of coals and other minerals.


In the previous page #3 I posted it intended that the central government could raise funds by any "other" mode of taxation.

Okay Jonny lets discuss these founding documents of Canada which according to you have no basis in law and as such would render the federal government to be De facto


The Quebec Resolutions of which contained the "intentions" (in law it is the "intent" that is most considered as truth)of the founders being the representatives of the provinces of upper Canada, lower Canada,Nova Scotia, New Brunswick, Newfoundland,and Prince Edward Island.

It is clearly seen that it was the "intent" of the founders to have exclusive control of "direct taxation" which would be controlled by the local legislatures (provincial legislatures)of each respective province. See page 4, resolution #43,1

It was also the "intent" of the signatories to the Quebec Resolutions that the central government (federal government)should have the ability to raise money by all and any "other" mode of taxation, see page 3, resolution #29, 1

This information is also shown here: http://www.collectio...001-7104-e.html




"An Act Respecting the Delegation of Jurisdiction from the Parliament of Canada to the Legislature of Nova Scotia and vice versa" if enacted, would NOT be constitutionally valid since it contemplated delegation by Parliament of powers, exclusively vested in it by s. 91 of the British North America Act, to the Legislature of Nova Scotia; and delegation by that Legislature of powers, exclusively vested in Provincial Legislatures under s. 92 of the Act, to Parliament.

The Parliament of Canada and each Provincial Legislature is a sovereign body within its sphere, possessed of exclusive jurisdiction to legislate with regard to the subject matters assigned to it under s. 91 or s. 92, as the case may be. Neither is capable therefore of delegating to the other the powers with which it has been vested nor of receiving from the other the powers with which the other has been vested. (NOT is my emphasis)

Question can someone please tell me why I cannot bold, colour, italicize, or change font size. Is it because I am a new member, or do I have to activate something and if so what and how?

Not trying to "make things personal" but there is utterly no validity to the points referenced above. One can hold the opinion that the earth is flat and the sun revolves around us in the sky pulled by a team of horses but it does not make it true nor should anyone be accused of "meanness" or "lack of sensitivity" for calling a spade a spade.

The BNA Act of 1867 clearly gives the federal government the power of taxation in Section 91. 

 

Powers of the Parliament.

Legislative Authority of Parliament of Canada

91. It shall be lawful for the Queen, by and with the Advice and Consent of the Senate and House of Commons, to make Laws for the Peace, Order, and good Government of Canada, in relation to all Matters not coming within the Classes of Subjects by this Act assigned exclusively to the Legislatures of the Provinces; and for greater Certainty, but not so as to restrict the Generality of the foregoing Terms of this Section, it is hereby declared that (notwithstanding anything in this Act) the exclusive Legislative Authority of the Parliament of Canada extends to all Matters coming within the Classes of Subjects next hereinafter enumerated; that is to say, --

12. Sea Coast and Inland Fisheries.

And any Matter coming within any of the Classes of Subjects enumerated in this Section shall not be deemed to come within the Class of Matters of a local or private Nature comprised in the Enumeration of the Classes of Subjects by this Act assigned exclusively to the Legislatures of the Provinces.

 

The BNA Act then goes on to state (Section 92)

 

Exclusive Powers of Provincial Legislatures.

Subjects of exclusive Provincial Legislation

92. In each Province the Legislature may exclusively make Laws in relation to Matters coming within the Classes of Subjects next hereinafter enumerated, that is to say,

15. The Imposition of Punishment by Fine, Penalty, or Imprisonment for enforcing any Law of the Province made in relation to any Matter coming within any of the Classes of Subjects enumerated in this Section.
16. Generally all Matters of a merely local or private Nature in the Province

 

As you can clearly see, federal and provincial powers of taxation overlap. Both can and do levy taxes.

 

The Quebec Resolutions you quote were proposals. A framework or draft if you will. Oh, and those same resolutions stated (Resolution 29)

 

29. The General Parliament shall have power to make Laws for the peace, welfare and good government of the Federated Provinces (saving the Sovereignty of England), and especially laws respecting the following subjects: --

 

5. The raising of money by all or any other modes or systems of Taxation.

Mike, if the goal of VV is to have "high level discussions", then how can it possibly be considered personal to call somebody out when what they are saying is clearly false? Quality discussions, in my experience anyway, are built upon facts (unless of course we're talking about fiction).

[jonny]

Okay Jonny lets discuss these founding documents of Canada which according to you have no basis in law...

 

This is clearly not what I said. Your claim that the "The Federal [Central] government of Canada has never in its history had the authority to "Direct Tax" the citizens of Canada that privilege is an exclusive right of the provincial legislatures" is bogus, false and has no basis in law. My understanding is confirmed by the courts. Yours is not. If you feel the courts were incorrect in their interpretation, I strongly encourage you to begin legal proceedings.

Putting people in concentration camps in 1940s Germany was quite legal but was it lawful?
Kennedy, well you'll have to give me more to go on than that
As for aliens do you have anything to back up your statement? (personally I don't believe anything until I have some facts to peruse)
911 you must have researched that topic really well. (good for you and drinks all round!)


And everything you see, read and hear in the media is absolutely unequivocal, as demonstrated by the exceedingly professional, unbiased, and objective caliber of journalistic prowess.

And thus endeth the "high-level" discussion.

[sebberry]

You didn't just compare Nazi Germany concentration camps with a few cents tax on fresh produce, did you? 

 

We're done with the Nazi references. 

[jonny]

a few cents tax on fresh produce, did you?

 

Just a minor clarification - grocery items like milk, meat, bread, vegetables and beverages have always been GST/HST "zero rated" (i.e. taxable at a GST rate of 0%).  These fall under the CRA category of "basic groceries", which has a very broad definition.
