Due to recent [FC] Federal Court tax-evasion charges and subsequent FC tax ruling, any member /grower for a not for profit cannabis society is now guilty for not paying sales tax, without the benefit of legalizing it. In practice [when placed in context of other case law rulings like the Felger case] leads to this: all growers are now defined as 'being occupied in a retail premise'. SOMEHOW now, the right to hold a fiduciary trust to be a farmer for a society, under a common law commercial premise, has been taken away. NOW [think out of the box] We asked senior auditors for Canada Revenue Charities [CRC]: Does that mean anyone growing /selling cannabis even in a not-for profit society must now pay sales taxes? And the answer is obviously YES. We then pried out of them that as far as CRC is concerned, THAT it didn't matter whether we collected PST or GST, BECAUSE [in BC] we formally voted out HST; this means our EDAs and its agencies are directly permitted to remit/pay PST instead of GST - and still comply with this general rule that we must now pay a sales tax. UNDER THE GOLDEN RULE: If you pay taxes to the Rome means you must obey Roman rules MEANS IN THIS CASE that by paying GST to the Feds results where they must obey every s-55 rule /regulation after this spring's final Appeal's Court ruling Check it out - https://www.scribd.com/doc/206723278/2a-s-55-of-the-CDSA-report - This is their lists of over 30 categories of regulations growers must now comply with
BECAUSE: by paying GST, means you agree to obey every statutory rule and regulation that [in theory] they need in order to sell cannabis in the USA
So what's the big difference between paying GST versus PST?
By choosing to pay GST, [a statutory tax] means you now must obey all those new CDSA statutory rules /restrictions CATCH 22: Our EDA /agencies and growers can pay PST, By paying PST means we choose to be governed under our BC common law rulings, because PST is a common law tax IN LAW, THIS MEANS THAT: As long as our EDA agencies and growers prescribe to PST common law rules, results where NOT even 1 over-bearing rule or regulation under the CDSA applies [other than common sense rules] Our cannabis industry actually should thank Mr. Harper for taking too much too fast, because by doing so, he actually empowered us to just say; NO to paying his GST, and in law that means not-1 CDSA rule or regulation can be forced on any of our EDAs or its' agencies or members by paying PST. Mr. Harper inadvertently legalized our cannabis industry by getting drunk on his own obsession for despot powers
IN CANADA everyone can now choose to comply with GST or PST.
When MMPR licensees pay GST, means they can [in theory] supply a Federally licensed store in the USA that wants to compete against cannabis provided under state regulations. The biggest drawback to paying PST is that we cannot do any business in the USA or with any foreigners [period] IN THIS WAY: by pressing this remedy as a strictly domestic political issue, means that under their laws, the Federal Courts and the CDSA are directly forbidden from trespassing on any of our common law rights. AT PRESENT, the only way to fully benefit from our PST loophole on cannabis is by prescribing to IC75-2R8 protocol Any landed citizen in Canada can do this loophole by forming a local EDA [Electoral District Ass.] like we did in Vancouver. Any Marijuana Party EDA can register a cannabis farmer [like an old MMAR grower] and also open local Co-op Private Members Clubs, so that they can do common law commerce with each other, under Freedom of Contract. ON THIS: We're not reinventing the wheel here; we're simply insisting that when Harper gave us the tools to say NO means, we can and are declaring to be duty-bound to protect the private individual rights of our members. The EDA itself is only transferring PST that was remitted by shareholder /members of any EDA Co-op in order to protect our common law commercial rights. This provincial sales tax stays in the province AND that means all those BC Supreme Court victories that were overturned in Federal Court are now the law of the land, because those Federal Courts and the CDSA simply have no jurisdiction to control our common law marijuana activities [period] In BC's case that means: any grower or dispensary can be grandfathered into our perfectly legal PST loophole, as long as these new EDA agency prescribe to the rules and protocol under our IC75-2R8 loophole [then poof] The entire EDA is now 'prescribed by law' [Sec 1 of the Charter] to protect our marijuana beliefs that the majority thinks are wrong or false, Lest we forget: this individual Freedom defines what Democracy is all about BOTTOM LINE: We can only offer a 'bullet-proof defence' FRANKLY: The rest is up to you to take it or leave it. It's actually up to you [and no one else] to declare that; We're mad as hell and you're not going to take this anymore. What we're protecting is defined as a fundamental doctrine in order to preserve a Free and Democratic Society that's upheld under the rubric of: Consent of the governed [A. Cox] thru hopefully Peaceful CIVIL DISOBEDIENCE to a bad law or a particular set of laws that erode the very fine-laced fabric that binds us by laws that are written to protect Freedom itself, under our common law rights.
