Good day Honourable Attorney General and Minister of Justice Virani,

​

We ask that you consider this letter and accompanying documents as a request for a public inquiry into the unethical and inequitable taxation activities of the Saskatchewan Party, provincial and municipal government representatives, and some government agencies that enabled tax evasion and subsequent cover up efforts including the related abuse of the federal courts.

 

This correspondence will be the third attempt since January 2024 to bring attention to circumstances in Saskatchewan that worsen by the day. The first two requests were sent to you in your federal role and to Bronwyn Eyre in her provincial role (concern regarding local taxation irregularities2024/02/13 and Regional Park OHS concerns 2024/03/05) remain unanswered although Saskatchewan Minister of Justice indicated she would be responding to the taxation concern on February 16.

​

Previously when we brought concerns forward to your predecessor, Minister Lametti, he responded that he could not interfere with provincial matters and suggested we approach the Saskatchewan Office of the Ombudsman. We immediately followed his direction but to no avail as the Ombudsman does not deal with matters before the court, and we have only been free of responding to court actions since January 11, 2024.

​

Minister Virani, when three consecutive Attorneys General in Saskatchewan have ignored a litany of multi-level government wrong doings, some of which do meet Criminal Code of Canada thresholds, if not to you, where do we go for help? Is the United Nations our next stop?

​

Are agents of government and governments themselves allowed to abuse the courts, assist wrongdoing and punish the messenger (Whistleblower) simply because it is politically uncomfortable to expose the truth?

​

We understand the complexities facing your office every day and perhaps you see us as just one more issue. Minister Virani, as far as stand-alone concerns go, all 40 million of us are just one issue. The abuse of one is the standard that allows the abuse of all.

​

Minister Virani, we are all grandparents or great grandparents, most of us are retired, we are not legal scholars. However as self-representing litigants we have faced an agent of the Saskatchewan Government multiple times in the court system, and we have not lost. In a bizarre twist of logic, one of the Deputy Ministers of an involved oversight Ministry referred to us as being frivolous and vexatious. This claim must make us the first Respondents identified as frivolous and vexatious. For the record we were taken to court two more times after the Deputy Minister provided that written comment. We won.

​

The current Justice Minister/Attorney General for Saskatchewan is fully aware of our circumstances and has ignored every piece of information we have supplied her.

​

We believe we have identified the “ground zero” reasons we have become such frequent visitors to the court system.  We have evidence to support our belief that the Government of Saskatchewan (primarily the SaskParty) took part in schemes that allowed substantial evasion of provincial Education Property Tax prior to forming a government in 2007.  We contend that they abused the power of government and the Federal court system as tools to silence us thereby minimizing their threat of exposure as they worked behind-the-scenes to conceal their past involvement in these schemes.

​

In our particular situation, diversionary court cases were used to force the sale of properties within a Saskatchewan Regional Park where proven assessment and tax manipulation occurred.

​

The revelatory documents we include show how an entire Regional Park and its related cottage community have been eliminated for the purpose of covering up tax evasion orchestrated by local administrators and assisted by bureaucrats and politicians. Cottage owners played no apparent role in this deception; collectively they did suffer the loss of 19 dwellings.

​

Minister Virani, we once request that your office, on behalf of the Government of Canada, initiate a Public Inquiry into the Saskatchewan Provincial Government abuse of the Federal court system and their reasons for doing so.

​

Please review the documents we have provided.  We are obviously not afraid of supporting our claims in a court of law, but please do not suggest we get an attorney, we have already provided evidence to Minister Lametti that the Government of Saskatchewan is happy to use the services of a law firm with a published guide on how to defeat financial weaklings.

​

Thank you for your consideration.
