Does this need parliament or can he pass it as a decree? There is a solid chance he never gets another day in parliament to get anything he wants done.

PMs have more power then US Presidents, very little checks and balances in comparison.

FIRST READING: Why Canadian PMs are the closest thing the democratic world has to a dictator

An NDPer is launching a Quixotic bid to rein in prime ministerial power, but he certainly has a point

Yup

PM appoints the RCMP commissionaire. If the commissionaire wants keep his/her job they make use of the heavy duty paper shredder when asked by the PM.

PM appoints the cabinet who in turn appoints the directors of the CRTC. Two degrees of separation and ethics be damned. Censorship.

The civil service is very well paid and has perks the private sector would love. Is anyone going to blow whistles and give that up?

How is that essentially different from an African dictatorship where a recruit goes from living on scraps, wearing rags and sleeping on the ground to having a uniform, good food and a roof over his head. All he has to do is obey the boss emperor for life and shoot people that don't comply.

While the civil service hasn't been issued guns they can still destroy you with paperwork and arbitrary decisions.

Why deal with time zone hassles running a scam operation in a building in Mumbai when you can come to Canada illegally and do it direct in real time from your government subsidized housing unit (or the back room of a relative's convenience store in Bramalea).

***BONUS*** the SFC (Scam From CANADA) "business" model allows you the flexibility to join in on exploited student visa and/or pro hamas demonstrations/infrastructure takeovers and give you the satisfaction of denigrating/abusing the country that you desperately pretend to want to move to.

It would be interesting to see the books for these businesses. I suspect the CRA is very interested (or at least they should be). What does the paperwork look like for multiple people sending you the same amount of money each month (which coincidentally is roughly the amount you pay back to those people)? There are simple ways you can do that a few times but recurring payments are hard to hide (unless owner was taking payments and TJ was paying salaries in which case CRA has a great tax evasion case against owner as there is both unreported personal income and fake expenses as salaries were paid for people that never worked).

It wouldn't be hard to hide if I were to do it.. I know of others that have done it.. are doing it.
In the case of a restaurant... It could be run through dinner bills.. do up some fake bills for non-existing customers.. a couple of larger group dinners.. and the money is in. Putting back out to the fraud employee isn't hard.. It would be difficult to catch unless reported.

That's insanity. Good on the company for severing ties with the offending franchise owner.

I'm sure with time more and more of these abuses will come to light, as they rightfully should.

Name and shame.

There can be unexpected consequences for name and shame. Tim Hortons seems to come up in a lot of these discussions. If it is one franchisee, that's easy but if a significant percentage of your franchisees are on the fraud train, then what? Admit you don't have competent oversight? Close a decent percentage of your restaurants? I suspect companies where this is endemic will put an NDA over the whole mess.

I agree with you, and my responses are effectively 'yes' to all of them.

1. if it's one franchise owner...it's rare because franchise owners typically have more than one location so it can be endemic
2. Yes. Tim's is ultimately responsible as their reputation is on the line, and while they may not care...the shareholders will.
3. Yes. Fire the owners / remove their franchise and sell it / give it to someone else

NDA doesn't apply when your workers have nothing to lose and are effectively slaves to the org. Especially if they're not getting paid.

I was referring to NDA at the franchise/corporate level as they have a lot to lose. Hell, it could even extend down to employee level. "Sign this NDA and here's your cheque. Sorry for the misunderstanding." Cheaper to pay off some foreign workers than to have your stock beat up.

Inderjit Lamba and Daljeet Lamba, Punjabis preying on their own. I can just imagine what would happen to my WASA ass' food order if I were to ever eat there.

It blows my mind how much money there is to be made by being crooked...and with little to no consequences. My conscience is literally the only thing stopping me from being a crook / thief / con man.

I don't even know how people figure this stuff out and know how to navigate the rules/regulations to profit off them. My mind is simple...work hard, climb up and up, and hope you live long enough to enjoy the fruits of your labour.
 
Odds are someone(s) went through the legit process and then someone(s) figured out holes.

I know someone (friend of a friend thing) that did a no show electrical apprenticeship, similar to all this in concept. He paid cash to a buddy that is an electrical contractor. From the cash buddy paid them back a wage including taxes to CRA with some "significant walking around" money left over, filled out the paperwork for their apprenticeship hours. Dude did do the required courses/tests. He was working on Bay Street at the time and did not want to take the pay cut for four years but wanted the career change. Licensed (old stock Canadian) electrician now... scams are not limited to immigrants.

Cash in, fake job for whatever reason, pay wages and taxes and keep the extra to make it worth while....

I did want to become an HVAC technician…besides the pesky apprenticeship hour business…

Guess if there’s a will there’s a way.

Odds are that most of the CRA staff is still WFH and very disinterested in pursuing much if anything.

This is not new, I was first approached in 2013.

Well off Indian parents willing to pay $1000/mo for up to 2 years to get their children PRs. They would send $4000/mo, wanted me to pay their children $2500/mo and use 500 for employer costs.

They did all the paperwork, the jobs were skilled back then, supply chain manager requiring English, Punjabi and Hindi languages.
