Exposing Foreign Influence in Canada’s Bureaucracies

You are all aware of wide coverage of illicit trade & the laundering of its profits through Canadian real estate. And you probably know that the Cullen Report will expose that authorities have turned a blind eye to (been involved in?) obvious money laundering through casinos in BC. But it is a much deeper problem than that. I was the CEO of WayFare Identifiers Inc. (WFI) when we proposed for, & received from, the then Deputy PM & Attorney General support to proceed on a technology system to flag illicit trade & track ownership of related funds. This system received kudos from CSIS, CBSA, US Homeland & UK Port Authorities. It was strategically partnered by ALCAN, CP Ships, CSAV, Reimers & General Dynamics. We were pre-revenue and floated on after-tax savings & assets from me and my family. And the last major meeting we were free to attend fulfilled invitations from CIMC & COSCO to gather in Shanghai.

Just months later, low level staff at the CRA were able to freeze all of WFI's accounts... though there was no way we could have owed taxes. Being Canadian, I opened a personal Line of Credit against my home to maintain ops while this "error" (that's all I though this was) got attended to. These CRA personnel were then able to freeze that LoC, putting me in an untenable position that caused the foreclosure on my home (even though only mortgaged to 11% of its value.) The foreclosure court was attended by the CRA personnel where they proposed a "full settlement" number, that I paid while clearly stating that we were doing so under duress. My remaining funds from that forced sale then went into WFI, where, just a few months later, we had our accounts re-frozen with a new demand for hundreds of thousands more. We had already been demanding for a full CRA audit to be done, and now persisted until that was agreed to. Our office manager was tasked with getting it scheduled and called the CRA on a weekly basis... for nearly two years. The auditor assigned to completing this task, Chris Blundell, delayed, evaded and lied to ensure that it never took place. After the first 14 months of calls he was forced by his peers to set a time for the audit at our office, which we fully prepared and had our lawyer in attendance for, but the CRA called 30 minutes after the kick-off time and cancelled. Since they refused to immediately set another time for this audit, we left our preparations in place and dedicated the boardroom for this task. The second scheduled audit time, months later, was also cancelled by the CRA, leaving us to scramble to cancel the attendance of our PWC accountants. The 3rd, months later again, was set by Chris Blundell late on a weekday for the following morning, giving us no time to involve our financial professionals. Mr. Blundell entered our office, looked into the boardroom, turned and left. All he said was: "I'm not doing this."

Though we went to heroic effort to save our company, Mr. Blundell spawned its demise by waiting another 8 months and then charging that we "refused him access to Books & Records." This was his documented position despite the attendance of our lawyer at the first attempt, the involvement of PWC for the second and four witnesses who have all stated that Mr. Blundell walked out of a fully prepared boardroom where all data was made readily available.

WFI had one of the world's top systems for flagging & tracking illicit trade and associated money laundering. It was acknowledged by top government agencies around the globe. And yet, the CRA has put up nothing but years of roadblocks against investigating how this pre-revenue R&D operation, that held signed & binding venture capital contracts for 6 million USD of investment (valuing the company at 14 million USD), could owe taxes when it was floated on after-tax savings & assets. Bottom line, outside influencers were able to use CRA mechanisms to kill Canadian tech they didn't want. Even personnel at the CRA have admitted they had nothing to go on, with one telling me that their only basis had been a "credible lead" from "a man with an impressive financial background."

Demands for review or ATIP requests for the CRA’s basis documentation & Diarized Notes have gone out from 2 journalists, 2 senators, 6 MP’s, 3 accounting firms, 3 law firms, the Canadian Taxpayers Federation, and the Taxpayers Ombudsperson. All have been ignored. The fastest way for you to know the truth of the matter is for you to join that group. Push for coverage of this story and wait for the CRA’s push back. My own ongoing complaints gained me nothing but bogus CRA claims that I had taken undeclared income out of WayFare Identifiers Inc… despite that company being in debt to me for $1.3 million that the SR&ED (an arm of the CRA) certified as losses.
