Freedom is never voluntarily given by the oppressor, it must be demanded by the oppressed
~ Martin Luther King Jr.
Please help. Donate to the Canadian Charter Challenge Fund.
February 5, 2014 was the day we thought we would never see. It was the day the Canadian government announced it had caved to a foreign nation’s demands to invade our honest, law abiding lives as Canadian citizens and residents to seize our private and legal financial records. It was the day we learned the Canadian government considers us second class Canadians with limited rights under Canadian laws and Canada’s Charter of Rights and Freedoms.
Today is the day we begin our drive to fight back. February 28, 2014 is the day we launch our Canadian Charter Challenge Fund to raise money for a legal opinion from prominent constitutional lawyer, Joseph Arvay.
We must demand freedom. We must demand our government uphold our rights. We must demand the government place its citizens and residents over the demands of a foreign power.
We must demand our government place our rights over those of the bully oppressor. We must band together to fight for our cherished Canadian rights and freedoms. We must do it now.
Remember, the War of 1812 was not over until 1815. We should likewise expect our battle to be long, messy and expensive.

I am VERY tempted to send a link to CCCF to my Conservative MP who must be getting exasperated with all my emails…lol. I wonder if he would donate.
Done
@IRSCompliantForever – Just Seconding WhiteKat — YEEEAAAAAAAAAHHHH !!!!!!! Come on folks … gotta keep those cards, letters and contributions pouring in to the Account …… can we get this done in a couple days rather than a few weeks? Time is not on our side here.
@nervousinvestor: I would love to see us do this as quickly as possible. If we do, it sends a huge message to the government about how serious we are.
This is wonderful! Donated!
I could actually sent much more than one hundred bucks but I just got back from Europe and am kind of unconscious.
Good luck! I’ve contributed as well. Please keep us posted as to the amount
collected so we know how much more we need to reach the first amount.
I have positive thoughts about this.
Still more coming in.
WhiteKat, I am sending the link and explaining what we are doing to my Tory MP.
Everyone should alert ALL of those (in Canada, U.S.) who want to do us harm to what we are doing. That is part of the point.
@IRSCompliant, I already sent my MP the link. I had a happy smile when I hit the send key.
I will donate later this morning. Congratulations on ALL the hard work that has been done so far. You people are truly the kind of people who made Canada a Free Country. Now, we must keep it and it’s peoples safe.
I just sent a link to Flaherty. This is sure to make his day (presuming he gets to see the email). LOL.
Share buttons on the page would be great!
Just made my donation. Thanks for inspiring me to take action.
I’m going to see my MP in person today, the first time I have ever done something like this…
@Suki, thanks for speaking directly with your MP. Invite them to donate!
Is anything being done to get that link to the press and Republicans Abroad so the word can spread?
Seeing the fund amount being updated live would be great.
@Suki – GREAT ! Good luck speaking to your MP – encourage him or her to donate to the cause AND to demand that the Government protect Canadian Sovereignty.
Just donated. I sent the link to Joe Preston, my MP who says he knows Peter Hogg. Maybe he will vote for Canada. He seems to want to vote for the USA.
@noone, I sent them a link as well as DA, my MP, the head of the NDP, Liberal and Green Parties. I’ve only used one venue to do that so far but, will use more than one today.
How about the CBC doing an article on this fight???
sent this to all NDP MPs…
Born in USA? Canadian citizen? Represent US persons in Parliament?

Hi
The “Gallery” includes a photograph of a young woman with text reading, “Why does the US want to tax and penalize my educational savings fund” (Or words to that effect. The flashing blue sign makes it hard to read)
Consider: the IGA in fact exempts sheltered savings funds, so the claim is currently not quite true. As it stands, our opponents might accuse us of misrepresentation. The photo dates from before the IGA of course, at which time the claim was legit.
@NorthernShrike
Any IGA can – at best – shelter FFIs (i.e. banks) from having to report on certain kinds of funds. It does not affect US tax code and doesn’t shelter individuals in any way or form. Unfortunately, the media are doing a fabulous job of misrepresenting this fact and falsely leading people to believe that such funds are exempt from US tax.
Northern Shrike,
Do you really think they are exempt? From my earlier comment and what I have said to CARP:
http://isaacbrocksociety.ca/2014/02/15/my-plea-for-clarification-on-the-rdsp-and-other-canadian-registered-savings-plans-are-these-now-for-purchse-only-to-canadians-who-are-not-us-defined-us-persons-in-canada/comment-page-1/#comment-1109560 — and I asked this specific question at last week’s Moodys Gartner Renunciation seminar, where Roy Berg confirmed to me that the US tax obligations for the individual are not changed — the exemption is for the banks only (regarding their reporting on accounts to the CRA) — or at least this is what I understood him to say.
Can someone convince me they really are exempt — we never have to report them to the IRS? I don’t think so, but I would love to be proven wrong.
Thanks for all the donations so far. Great response, freedom fighters!
As far as changing the domain name – yes that would be great, but domain names cost money as does hosting. This is a temporary site and here for the sole purpose of raising money for step one of this fight. This domain is free and so is the hosting.
I know someone mentioned the site doesn’t work well on Firefox. That is true. I tried everything to fix the Firefox problems, to no avail. Please use chrome or safari if you want to see the site working properly on Mac.
