To the Editor:
In so far as my research into what I perceive to be a significant upset regarding the lawfulness of the ITA and how the CRA can enforce it through the infallible and tenacious attitudes as administered through the Nova Scotia Public Prosecution Service, I learned many disturbing facts regarding the Canadian Constitution.
At the time of the confederate movement in Canada, Nova Scotia and New Brunswick desired to form a Federal Union. This union was provided for in the form of the Quebec Resolutions of 1864. The Bill drafted by the Canadian delegates at the London Conference in 1866, also provided for a Federal Union. The BNA Act enacted by the Imperial Parliament of Great Britain carried out neither the spirit nor the terms of the Quebec Resolutions, and consequently, Canada did not become a Federal Union or a Confederation but rather a United Colony with the supreme authority still under the British Government.
On December 11, 1931 when the Statute of Westminster was enacted it galvanized our relationship with the Monarchy. The document transferred the sovereign power from George V to the people granting total independence making both the office of the Governor General and the Central Legislature redundant. The Queen’s role for Canada is primarily as a ceremonial head of the Commonwealth which is an informal association of countries that were formally members of the old British Empire.
The Canada Act of 1982 and its schedule “B”, the Constitution Act 1982, were enacted by the United Kingdom Parliament and were two more imperial statutes to the series that existed before. Since 1982, more of Canada’s Constitution is to be found in the statute book of the United Kingdom (the schedule to the Constitution Act 1982, lists 22 United Kingdom statutes and orders in council as included in the “Constitution of Canada”).
The existence of the Federal Government is, in fact, but not in law. The Governor General’s own website states she is “Canada’s de facto head of state”. Sec. 15 of the CCC deals with this type of Government. Need proof? Refer to the Federal Interpretation Act and look up the definition for Canada. It reads, “for greater certainty, includes the internal waters of Canada and the territorial sea of Canada”.
The definition for province is, “a province of Canada and includes the Yukon Territory, the Northwest Territories and Nunavut”. By applying the legal maximum, the inclusion of one is the exclusion of all others, you can see lawfully Canada does not include N.S., N.B. etc. By way of the Statute of Westminster, the provinces are sovereign within their own sphere as there has been no Federation as of yet. A section in the Income Tax Act reads, “this Act is binding on Her Majesty in the right of Canada or a province”, it only applies to the aforementioned provinces.
Look up “prosecutor” in the CCC under the interpretation section. It means “Attorney General”. Now look that up, it means the “Attorney General” of that province…..province having the same interpretation as the Federal Interpretation Act. So how is it we are bullied by the CRA and we can be charged by a Federal Prosecutor? Could it be that after the enactment of the Statute of Westminster the “Federal Government” created the corporation called The Federal Government of Canada, a legal fiction?
Wouldn’t you have to be a legal fiction for them to charge you? Could that be why your name is all upper case on all government issued documents? As there are only three lawful provinces in Canada, there are, incidentally, corporations called the Province of Nova Scotia etc. Are you a legal fiction? Look on all your government issued identification and note the capitalization of the name and decide for yourself because that is the only way that this could happen.
