There has been some interesting developments in my complaint against the military pension services regarding my alleged Income Tax debt. They claim they can’t obey court orders without the permission of C.R.A. This bald claim is made brazenly and boldly that they have no obligation to follow provincial court orders. Hmmm.
I started researching and planning on how I could get my two court orders enforced. It looked like a difficult uphill task was before me. The guiding statute states that “execution” can’t be ordered against the “crown”. All of a sudden and out of the blue I received notification that C.R.A. had stopped the “set-off” of my pension and I would start receiving my pension again effective September.
I inquired to the Minister of Finance regarding the previously ordered payments that I never received. Some people told me to just be happy I “won”. Most asked what I was going to do about the outstanding amount owed. I had no idea how to answer that question but was considering the option of getting the people involved imprisoned for contempt. I was also in the middle of working on my Factum which needed to be served and filed by the 11th of September. This was not a pretty situation.
I contacted CBC, CTV, Veteran’s Affairs and various members of Parliament. No one was interested in assisting me or getting involved. CTV did interview me but refused to air the discussion. Everyone seems to be afraid of this matter for some reason. Is it possible that’s because of the “scary tax man”?
After all my questioning and all of my researching into how to resolve this I was about to prepare a Motion for Contempt when suddenly I received mail from the Government of Canada. It was a cheque. Interestingly enough it was a cheque from the federal government issued out of the consolidated revenue fund, signed by Diane Findlay. Now I’m not sure my e-mails and phone calls accomplished much but the cheque states that it’s an “Income Tax Refund”.
I’m currently investigating this payment but I do believe it is the monthly payments owed and ordered by the court for June and July. Today I received my monthly payment for September. It appears they are following the orders of the court while screaming that they have no obligation to do so. Talk about double speak or what?
It would appear to me that they are all talk and threats regarding the courts but when the court speaks they listen. It’s the way the system is designed. They have no choice and they know it. To operate to the contrary would destroy the system that they profit so well off of. They would never shoot themselves in the foot like that. They WILL obey the courts. You just have to use logic and reason to get the courts to obtain the court’s orders.
This has not been an easy fight and this war is not over. The orders are interim orders for the reinstatement of my pension while we fight in the courts about the right of C.R.A. to confiscate it. My Factum is filed and I’m anxiously awaiting the Respondent’s reply. To date the only answer they have had was that “this matter is outside this court’s jurisdiction”. That is obviously not the case as their own reinstatement of my pension is in fact evidence that the court does have the Jurisdiction to order the federal employees. As this struggle continues against the bald theft of military pensions I pray for wisdom and integrity in the battles. I hope you will share this and let others know that you can in fact win against these corporate agencies if you do it properly.
Until next time I wish you all peace and prosperity,
Rob
