This gave me a good laugh, I was in the middle of fussing about an idiot from CRA when this came in and lightened my day of dealing with tax problems.

“A lady came to see me about a legal problem.  She said a friend of hers was a former client of mine and had recommended me.  That made me feel rather good, and so I decided to stretch the compliment by asking what her friend had said about me.  The woman replied, ‘She says you’re an a$$hole but you did a good job’.”

And here’s from a judge  “I presided over a trial in which an RCMP officer testified that he was on patrol in a rural area when the car ahead of him drove into the ditch, back onto the highway, back into the ditch then across a field into a tree.  The officer walked across the field to the car and said to the driver, ‘Have you been drinking?’  The man replied, ‘Of course I’ve been drinking.  Do I look like a f*cking stunt driver?’”

 We are watching this case with great interest. This is not a case of tax problems, but rather using the tax system, to make public a social cause. Lets see how the government publicity machine stick handles this one.

Jail time could be greatest victory print this article
The Journal Pioneer

It is likely, at some point this year, David Little will head off to jail, his penalty for steadfastly refusing to file income tax returns.
David Little is willing to sacrifice his personal freedom on behalf of those who cannot speak for themselves. He is a decades-long anti-abortion crusader who vowed in 2000 he would not file another income tax return for as long as tax-funded abortions are provided in this country.
With the Supreme Court of Canada’s refusal last week to hear an appeal of his 2007 conviction for failing to file tax returns, Little could be heading off to jail as early as April. That’s around the time of the year most other Canadians are either preparing their 2009 returns or waiting for Revenue Canada to send them their income tax refund or bill.
Such timing could prove beneficial to Little’s cause. Some filers who share his position that abortion is wrong – and there are many – might choose not to file this year.
But millions, including many Pro-Life supporters, will file returns as usual, because it’s the law and because they know tax dollars fund many essential services, like health care and education.
This, however, is not a case of someone cheating Revenue Canada out of millions or even hundreds of dollars annually. This is a case of an individual simply refusing to file annual returns.
But there’s a principle here: you have to file a return whether you owe money or are getting some back.
There’s also the possibility that individuals who get caught trying to avoid paying taxes on large sums of income will end up serving less time in jail than David Little.
That’s the sacrifice David Little seems willing to make, and he’s likely to get lots of attention while doing so. In fact, he seems to be banking on that. His 2007 conviction applies to tax years 2000, 2001 and 2002. He claims he hasn’t filed returns for the subsequent years and he wants to be charged for those years, too. David Little might not be dragged off to jail kicking and screaming, but he won’t be going quietly. This is a planned campaign against abortion. He wants Canadians to hear of his cause.
Even many of those who don’t agree with his protest method are likely to possess some sympathy for a fellow whiling away his time in jail because he opposes abortion.
