A fucking thinktank probably paid by H&R Block, post ads to make you think it’s bad that CRA would file your taxes for free. Makes it sound like a conflict of interest where there is none.
Tired of big money influencing the masses. It should be illegal.
I see no reason why the government can’t calculate your taxes based on your reported income and investments (and see if those numbers are plausible based on your location and occupation). Then if you want to challenge their numbers you can do your own return.
