[Integrity_Farmer]

While honest Canadians pay their taxes the Bronfmans and the .01% set up tax havens and engage in tax fraud..


It is important to note Canada's Ag Minister McCauley with Trudeau and Bronfman in video Panama papers.

Sanger: Why so few Canadians in Panama Papers? We hide our money elsewhere

The Panama Papers leak of people and firms using tax havens received much media attention in early April, leading shortly after to the resignation of Iceland’s prime minister and commitments by countries worldwide to take stronger action against illegal – and legal – use of tax havens. Yet few Canadians of any prominence were identified in the leak of information connected with 214,000 shell companies.

Is this because Canadians are such good boy scouts and girl guides? Do we obediently accept our collective responsibilities and pay our taxes, while others engage in the seedy world of shell companies, tax evasion and tax havens? It’s a nice idea but, unfortunately, it isn’t quite true.

In fact, Canadians were instrumental in establishing a number of Caribbean countries as tax havens starting in the 1960s, as Alain Deneault documents in his book Canada: A New Tax Haven.

For instance, Donald Fleming, John Diefenbaker’s first finance minister, became “one of the people who designed the Bahamas tax haven in its contemporary form” while working with the Bank of Nova Scotia in the 1970s. Calgary lawyer and politician James David MacDonald “wrote the Companies Law which established the (Grand Cayman) Island as a tax haven,” his biography explains.

Joe Clark’s Conservative government signed a treaty in 1980 allowing Canadians to register assets in the Barbados, then transfer income home tax-free. Paul Martin Jr. moved his Canada Steamship Lines’ international affiliates to Barbados shortly after he became finance minister in 1994.

So why haven’t more, and more prominent, Canadians been revealed in the Panama Papers leak?

Very simply, it’s because the countries that Mossack Fonseca (the source of the leak) does business with aren’t popular with Canadians. Three-quarters of the 210,000 companies identified in the leak were based in the British Virgin Islands or Panama. These two countries don’t even crack the top-10 list of Canadian corporations’ favourite tax havens, which include Barbados with $80 billion in Canadian corporate cash “invested,” Luxembourg with $50 billion, Cayman Islands with $49 billion, and Bahamas with $33 billion. The British Virgin Islands are only in 11th place, with $2.6 billion, and Panama is in 12th place with $700 million.

This leak represents just the tip of the iceberg. Thousands of other firms are active in facilitating tax avoidance and evasion. Prominent Canadians were fortunate this time the leak didn’t come from a firm more popular with Canadians, but they may be exposed next time.

What they did wasn’t necessarily illegal. There’s a difference between tax avoidance, considered legal, and tax evasion, which isn’t. But tax havens are also secrecy jurisdictions used to hide money from creditors and launder the proceeds of crime and fraud.

For too many years, Canada and other nations pretended to combat tax evasion while at the same time enabling and legitimizing these havens. This was tolerated when average real incomes were rising and inequality wasn’t such a hot button issue.

But no more. These leaks have identified not just specific politicians exploiting tax havens while cutting public services; they’ve also revealed how extensive this problem has become. What’s disturbing is how much there is and how much is legal.

International measures are finally being taken to deal with wide-scale legal tax avoidance and to increase transparency. But much more needs to be done. Canada ranks especially poorly on measures of corporate transparency and financial secrecy.

Consistent with the new government’s commitment to increase transparency and accountability, it now has an opportunity to show leadership at home and abroad on this issue — and to make the reality more consistent with the image we like to have of ourselves.

Every Thursday. The weekly Liberal bashing begins. He has a one track mind. Too many margaritas?

For alot of agrivillers you would think that the end of the world has come since Trudeau has been elected. LOL

When Trudeau took power from Harper suddenly Canada became the worst place to live and be a farmer.

And I am sure when Scheer or the next Con gets in it will suddenly become the best again!

Its like magic or witchcraft! HAHAHA

I for one enjoy SF3's posts, and often find them very informative. In fact his comments towards Trudeau and the Liberals, are based on somebody with "skin in the game" and are based on the implications to him and his business.

SF3 Posts have alot more contribution to Agriville than some of the cut and paste posts that I seldom read.

Laurentian Elites feel entitled to western Canadian taxpayers $ and equalization payments.
For a bonus they also feel entitled to insider government contracts and if $ is made their preferred savings accounts are offshore.

Why do some people beg to be taxed more and even create a new carbon tax.....when they know this happens? 🙈
