I keep wondering how many Canadians listed in the Panama papers have been taken to court over unpaid taxes, and if they have how many paid their FULL tax bill?

I think they’re trying to figure out how to spin, “But it’s not our fault!”
Cause it sure as hell is … thinking consumer spending was the problem, when it really was companies price gouging the fuck out of us … which hasn’t stopped yet.
Seipel, who secured the first television interview with the NSA whistleblower Edward Snowden after his arrival in Moscow in 2014, has faced accusations of being too pro-Russia. In a 2021 German radio broadcast, he denied receiving money from Russia in return for favourable reporting. When asked by the presenter whether he had taken payments, he responded: “Have you lost the plot? No!”.

“We are thus compelled to return to a society where taxes lead to tangible public services, healthcare is a given right, not a privilege and where schools are havens of learning, unmarred by the pervasive reach of politics.”
Canada’s gleaming palace of prosperity is actually a slum run by greedy politicians and hedge funds who just want to steal everyone’s money for themselves.
Born and bred in Canada, but if I could afford it I’d head to Europe as well.

Trump has just spent the past five minutes airing his frustrations about the New York fraud trial while on the stand.
He points his finger at New York Attorney General Letitia James as he yells that the “political hack back there” is carrying out the probe to hurt him.
At the end of the rant, Kevin Wallace of the attorney general’s team asks him, “You done?”
“Done,” Trump says, prompting some laughter from the courtroom.
NAL but I think if Trump had argued he was still the President during that time period instead of admitting he wasn’t, then it would have been perjury.
Mitchell Epner, a former federal prosecutor, said that Judge Engoron could have already “taken action” and held Donald Trump in contempt of court for his behaviour during today’s testimony.
Penalties for contempt, Epner added, could range from fines to “adverse inferences” and potentially even jail.
Judge Engoron already fined Trump $10,000 (£8,082) for comments made outside of court last month. Financial penalties could potentially be doubled after each outburst.
“I would not be surprised if the starting point for fines was $100,000 or something even higher,” Epner said.
“Whatever the judge does, it’s going to be designed to compel Trump to stop acting in the way he’s been acting”.
Prosecutors are continuing to go through a series of documents with Trump about several loan agreements, including Trump International Hotel in Chicago.
Kevin Wallace is asking Trump about whether statements of financial condition were included in the loan.
Trump is evading the issue of the financial statements and continuing to talk about how much cash and other assets he has.
Kevin Wallace has been showing Trump a series of agreements for loans, which state his business is required to maintain a certain net worth and that his financial statements are “true and correct”.
The documents relate to properties like his hotels in DC and Chicago, and all bear Trump’s signature. By signing those documents, Trump was agreeing to those terms.
We’re getting into the weeds now, but also heading towards the crux of the attorney general’s argument - that Trump submitted misleading financial information to banks to secure favourable loans.
Earlier, when the trial resumed after lunch, Trump was being very polite to the court. Now it seems he’s back to his old self.
On the stand, Trump has started to air his complaints with the case once again.
“This case is a disgrace," the former president says. He goes on to claim there is "murder on the streets of New York and the attorney general here is watching every little move”.
During this outburst, Judge Engoron looks ahead with a straight expression and remains silent.
When Trump has finished, Engoron says he defers to the prosecution on how much they want to allow Trump to speak off topic.
Engoron says Trump is a “broken record”, to which Trump replies that the prosecution “keeps asking the same questions, over and over”.
Attorney Kevin Wallace keeps his calm, saying the questioning is “very close to the end”.
Prosecutors were asking him about former Trump Organization chief financial officer Allen Weisselberg.
Weisselberg pleaded guilty and served time for tax fraud related to his work at the Trump Organization.
His name has been brought up frequently throughout the trial and he also testified before Michael Cohen, telling the court he knew Donald Trump was inflating the size of his Manhattan penthouse in Trump Tower.
On the stand, Trump defended his former employee, claiming people “went after him vigorously and violently because he happened to work for me”.
“I feel very badly about that whole situation,” he says.
This is the last one, I promise. It was just too funny to not include here.
Trump attorney Christopher Kise has just said that he may want to mention information barred by the gag order in a motion for a mistrial.
Alina Habba, another Trump lawyer, seems to confirm the team will make the motion and says they want to reference communications between Engoron and his law clerk.
The judge says he’ll allow Trump’s team to make that motion in writing.
“See, I knew there’d be a love fest,” Engoron concludes.
How about the polluters pay for it instead through the massive profits they’ve managed over years of ignoring the potential issues … the same as how big oil should pay to clean up its own dormant wells, pipelines and infrastructure.
