When your government led by Justin Trudeau, obnoxiously feted around the world, has hounded doctors, farmers, plumbers and other small business owners over perfectly legal tax loopholes, denying disability tax credits to type 1 diabetics and nearly taxing employee discounts in the name of helping the poor and middle class, this doesn’t help. All of this in addition to the finance minister owning an offshore trust, assets not in a blind trust when elected to office and possibly making millions after passing legislation and other cabinet ministers with possible conflicts of interest. Tax avoidance is legal and I understand no one wants pay more in taxes but one cannot help but comment on the Trudeau government’s blatant hypocrisy.

Interesting to see George Soros on the list. A bit hypocritical for someone who says others don’t pay enough taxes (Bloomberg - Are you a robot?) but uses tax avoidance schemes.


Facebook is also named.

And what did Mark Zuckerberg once say?

If they want to pay more taxes they could but they don’t.

Not mentioned in the Papers but it reminds me of this where Bill Gates goes around telling others to pay more taxes but Microsoft structures itself to pay as little as possible.

Bill hasn’t been at Microsoft for over a decade. When he left he said that he wanted to use his money on charitable causes. He and his wife have been concentrating on problems more common in certain developing nations.

Bill structured his money so he doesn’t pay taxes.

It seems he feels he can spend the money more effectively than the Govt. He’s probably right.
