George Radwanski will be remembered as the Privacy Commissioner who outraged and saddened Auditor-General Sheila Fraser by his abuse of power, reign of terror, lavish unjustifiable expenses and cronyism. | ||||||
|
|||||||
However the favours handed him by Revenue Canada has not generated as much publicity. | |||||||
A few days before he got his plush government appointment he was allowed to clear $557,000 in back taxes with a lump-sum payment of $62,726 - a bit more than 11¢ for every dollar that he owed. | |||||||
Next spring when income tax time roles around, I think we should all ask for a Radwanski. That is well pay 11% of the amount owing and promise to remit the rest when Radwanski pays his. | |||||||
|
After all, whats fair for one is fair for all don't you think? | ||||||
