Dear John,

If you’re copying someone’s homework, you need to ask yourself whether you trust their work.

The Trudeau government has been quietly expanding the power of the Canada Revenue Agency (CRA) to automatically calculate and file income tax returns for Canadians. In the last budget, it announced plans to expand this power in 2024.

This might sound like a real shortcut, but should you trust the CRA with this power?

The CRA’s job is to maximize the amount of taxes they get from you.

The CRA acting as both the tax filer and the tax collector is a clear conflict of interest. And it’s not likely to work out in your favour. This is a classic case of getting the fox to guard your henhouse.

The CRA is already the largest arm of the federal government with more than 59,000 staff. This massive power grab would mean more CRA staff with a more expensive CRA budget.

Do you think the CRA is good at its job? It sent CERB payments to prisoners and dead people. The CRA has a history of blocking phone calls and then regularly gives out wrong information to Canadians when they do get through. And they’ve ruined people’s lives with their incompetence.

Why would the Trudeau government give the CRA even more power?

Is the government really trying to help? Or is it that the government is broke and wants to squeeze more money out of you?

It’s time to fight back and stop this CRA power grab.
