Sometimes people who work for our wonderful government don't originally come from this country. So in the interests of the further education of said individuals and with the map (note the scale!) at left as a visual aid, let me help you all to understand something that apparently someone who works there finds it difficult to understand. It is a very long way from Ontario to British Columbia. I know this comes as a shock but it is NOT a commutable distance on a routine basis. Someone at REV CAN apparently thinks so because they are asking me to prove that I didn't live in Ontario and commute to BC for my work every day. They have my T4 but somehow they think I drove the 5000 km one way distance each day and back . REALLY?
I have two problems with this: 1. It defies common sense and I would like to think (call me madcap!) that I subsidize a government which employs people who have that elusive quality, or who can at least google a map to be sure if what they are saying makes any sense at all. 2. Doesn't our legal system operate on the premise that one is innocent until proven guilty? How then does it not behoove Rev Can to prove that I lived there and commuted instead of putting the onus on me to do the opposite?
We have a serious problem in this country Canadians! The government is supposed to be set up for the people to serve the people's needs. Not to oppress us when we pay for its existence. We only really need the government to take care of threats to our national sovereignty. All the rest we have given them due to our own laziness and lack of initiative. We really need to stand up and take back our power.
I'm probably not supposed to question their actions but I still believe in free speech. And by the way when there is a power imbalance and someone is using their power to hurt someone else - that is called bullying! Just saying'
