Watch out Canadiens!
i don't know if this is true or not but my dad got this from one of his canadien diving buddies, so i thought i would pass it along.
If you get an envelope from a company
called Revenue Canada,
DO NOT OPEN IT!
It could wipe out your entire checking and savings account.
This group operates a scam around this time every year.
Their letter claims that you owe them money,
which they will take and use to pay for the operation of essential
functions of the Canadian government.
This is untrue!
The money Revenue Canada collects is used to fund various
inefficient and pointless social engineering projects.
This organization has ties to another shady outfit called
the Canada Pension Plan, who claim to take money from your
regular paychecks and save it for your retirement.
In truth, the CPP uses the money to pay for these same misguided
make-work projects Revenue Canada helps mastermind.
These scam artists have bilked honest,
hard working Canadians out of billions of dollars.
Don`t be among them!

Here's a nice example of how your tax dollars are hard at work

Celebrate Canada? Shouldn't that be Celebrate Quebec?
That would seem to be a natural question based on the budget approved by Heritage Minister Sheila Copps last year for Celebrate Canada 2002, a federal program for events revolving around Canada Day.
Documents obtained by the Ottawa Citizen through the Access to Information Act reveal that Quebec received more than 60 per cent of the $8.3 million Celebrate Canada budget last year, picking up $5.15 million in grants and contributions from Copps' department.
And since the program provides funding for four events during the Canada Day period, some of the money also went toward Quebec's St-Jean-Baptiste celebrations on June 24, the province's nationalist holiday.
Meanwhile, Ontario, with more than 40 per cent of the country's population, received only about 10 per cent of the program's budget, claiming $853,900. British Columbia and Alberta fared even worse, receiving $473,700 (about six per cent) and $353,500 (about four per cent) respectively.
Canadian Heritage spokesman Len Westerberg said Quebec dominated the funding because the former Parti Quebecois government refused to fund Canada Day celebrations.
He added that some of the funding to other provinces was also used for St-Jean-Baptiste celebrations for the francophones outside of Quebec. A breakdown of this year's Celebrate Canada 2003 budget was not yet available.
The Atlantic provinces received $754,900 while, Manitoba, Saskatchewan, the Northwest Territories and Nunavut got $603,800.
Canada Day has always taken a backseat in Quebec to the Fete Nationale, which occurs a week earlier.
July 1 is better known as moving day with about 500,000 changes of address across the province between mid-June and mid-July.
A few years ago, when the St. Jean-Baptiste parade was rained out in Montreal, organizers refused to join Canada Day festivities.
Last year's Canada Day celebrations in Quebec City featured a group of separatists stomping on Canadian flags.
The days funded by Celebrate Canada include Canada Day, St. Jean-Baptiste Day, Canadian Multiculturalism Day (June 27) and National Aboriginal Day (June 21).
Each province forms a Celebrate Canada committee to distribute funding from the federal program.
In the budget breakdown, obtained by Ottawa researcher Ken Rubin, a footnote points out that the Quebec committee "always requests an advance of $2 million for administration and booking facilities."
The $2-million advance for Quebec is more funding than any other province receives.
Westerberg said in other provinces, the provincial government and municipalities contribute to Canada Day celebrations.
The deadline for eligible recipients to receive funding from Celebrate Canada 2003 was the end of March, while the Quebec election was not held until mid-April, making it likely that an equal number of events are being organized without provincial funding again this year in Quebec.
Eligible recipients include ad-hoc committees, community associations, corporations, and municipalities.
