Clarke and Mary Margaret Webster believed that taxes were unconstitutional and that the federal government created a parallel legal system based on the Hollywood movie The Matrix that allowed them to opt out from paying them.

Clarke Webster, a 63-year-old Ottawa dentist and grandfather, admitted to failing to declare income from his dental practice over a six-year period beginning in 2004, the same year he became a follower of B.C. man Russ Porisky and his Paradigm tax evasion scheme

I liked the part where the guy charged them about $32,000 for the advice to do it in the first place.
That was hilarious.
