Applying tax rules targets ‘Jewish people’: Israeli consul

 

Zionists believe they’re above Canadian law. A Liberal MP recently stood before Parliament to demand his government intercede to ignore the rules.

In response to a sixty-page report submitted to the Canada Revenue Agency calling for an investigation into 11 school charities assisting the Israeli military in probable violation of charity rules, Liberal MP Anthony Housefather called for Parliament to denounce a “deeply troubling complaint filed with the Canada Revenue Agency and targeting 11 Jewish schools in Montreal and Toronto.” He added, “The CRA must be unequivocal that it will not allow tax laws to be weaponized against any group.”

In this case “weaponizing” CRA rules seems to be a euphemism for applying them.

The Just Peace Advocates led report asks the CRA to investigate whether the 11 state subsidized groups are violating rules stating that “supporting the armed forces of another country is not” charitable activity. Additionally, the report co-sponsored by the Canadian Foreign Policy Institute mentions the Foreign Enlistment Act, which criminalizes “inducing” Canadians to join another country’s armed forces.

Picking up from the Liberal MP’s push to protect law breakers, Mark Goldberg explicitly demanded the revenue minister intercede to demand the CRA ignore its rules. The self-declared “Zionist” posted, “MP for Mount Royal Anthony Housefather makes a statement in Commons seeking Canada Revenue Agency being unequivocal in not allowing tax laws to be weaponized against Canadian Jewish Institutions. Will Minister of Finance and National Revenue Francois Philippe Champagne provide that assurance?”

By law the CRA operates independently of the government and is mandated to enforce the Income Tax Act. As such, a minister directing the CRA to ignore schools violating charity rules would be illegal.  (more...)
