and I never said you were not a liberal, I have read you and liked you, which is why I am also passionate about this issue.

What is to stop Donald Trump and his lik from buying up Canadian property, building a house and maybe buying a few small buisnesses , and saying "I am canadian, ya cannot touch me!"

To be fair, I am not in favor of the irs. If I had my druthers, there would a be UN tax agency that had authority, ala interpol, to get tax cheats, but then again, it's not like the Swiss would sign on for that, even if we put the agency in Zurich.

If there is something to stop the aforementioned scenario, by all means say so. Before Harper, I would not have even thought of this, but I can see Harper doing this to lure in exactly the same sort of a**holes that would give him a power base.
