Tax evasion charges dropped against former Calgary MP Rob Anders on Day 1 of trial | CBC News

Prosecutor Tyler Lord appeared in Calgary provincial court Monday and told Judge Heather Lamoureux the Crown had stayed all charges.

Until Monday, Anders faced five charges under the Income Tax Act for alleged activity between 2012 to 2018, including three counts of making false or deceptive statements, obtaining a refund he was not entitled to and evading payment of taxes. Police and court documents allege fraudulent rental expenses, mystery deposits as well as $750,000 in unreported income and capital gains hidden from the CRA by Anders.The 50-year-old who helped found the Conservative Party of Canada, held his Calgary seat from 1997 to 2015, first for the Reform Party and then for the CPC.

The only Abuse of Power here is by the CRA. Anders had his reputation & career torn to tatters for years by this... and now they say they had insufficient evidence to bring those charges in the first place. Every CDN is at risk until Tax Reform addresses the CRA's size & power.

Without any accountability, 'no longer had a reasonable prospect of conviction' is becoming the mantra in the legal system to give politicos and other members of the 'elite class' a pass. abpoli cdnpoli

In return, Rob promises to not invade Poland.

Wow, not at all sus.

Why are you acting so surprised? Everyone with a functioning brain knows that the CBC. IS A LIBERAL GOVERNMENT PROPAGANDA OUTLET.

2 tier justice system... burn it all to the ground
