You're catching a lot of flak and downvotes for your comment. I'm Canadian yet your general sentiment, made famous by Thomas Jefferson, seems pretty reasonable to me: "When the people fear their government, there is tyranny; when the government fears the people, there is liberty."

Yet now it seems people think it's reasonable to fear an elected government (and its civil servants) as if we were subjects instead of citizens.

Back on topic ... the effort involved in tax preparation here is also ridiculous. Millions of man-hours wasted every year on this. !!? Reform is needed.
