Personally, I am outraged. And I don’t use that word lightly. Because of this “mental health crisis” my commute was delayed by 10 minutes. Insane. That’s my coffee time. The police just expect me to get to work and just get right to checking my emails and posting on CP because of some guy wanting to kill himself in public?? WHEN WILL THE CHAOS END?
Honestly, a mental health crisis is obviously troubling, but in addition to mental health issues this guy is also a giant a-hole. No need to inconvenience 100,000 people when you could just uber to the foothills instead. This guy is a tit.
LAst month CRA took 80K out of my company's business account and refused to say what it was for. They said they say after March 25, which obviously means they needed to come up with a story. Now they're saying it's for HST, but that hadn't even been filed yet when they took the money.
There is something seriously missing from this story. This does not, and has not, happened in my experience. (Not saying it isn't true...just that there is more to the story that isn't here.)

Totally. Like, I get the mental health crisis/mental breakdown thing, I do, we’ve all been there am I right? But like, I’m just not sure why someone who is considering putting a permanent end to their life can’t stop for one minute to consider all the commuters he’s completely inconvenienced by 5, 10, hell, even 20 minutes here.
Like, sure? do your business? cool? but maybe think of my time while you’re at it for once, you know?

Well yeah. Go have your breakdown somewhere other than on top of a bridge. It's stupid.
Revised trust deadlines were March 30, 2024. Not April 30, 2024. Bare trusts are just a small part of the new trust filing requirements, but the one that gave most accountants and tax preparers the greatest concern.
Failure to file penalties were basically $2,500 or 5% of the highest FMV of the year, whichever is greater. A $500K property at 25% is $25K. $25K for failure to file of an INFORMATION return. If that's not bullying, isn't that extortion?
My literal words to some clients were, "I understand what the CRA is trying to do. But the way they are implementing it, educating clients about it etc. It feels more like being bullied."
When asked by accountants, tax preppers, lawyers etc. about extensions for bare trusts, CRA has previously said, they'd give an extension from March 30, 2024 to April 2, 2024. 3 day extension months in advance and then exempting (basically cancelling) the bare trust requirement. Absolute bull####.
As much as some don't like to hear what accountants have to say, make no mistake, we are on the taxpayer's side, not the CRA's side.

Given all the people on the memorial who decided, due to being inconvenienced, that one-way roads and no-turn signs were suddenly optional, causing everyone else who is not a complete loser to be inconvenienced, I think the punishment should be having to go up on the bridge and stay up there until bridge man comes off, the same way he comes off.
Well yeah. Go have your breakdown somewhere other than on top of a bridge. It's stupid.
When I am needing time and space to have my thoughts to myself I look for the busiest place I can find. That way I can really concentrate.
Sadly, somebody somewhere could use the help our resources can provide, but someone else is high as a kite and is unintentionally using those resources. Crapy situation for both people for sure.
One will come down and the other won’t get the help they need.
