On irrational fears

Jonathan Chevreau (with thoroughly one-sided sourcing from Paul DioGuardi) launches into the most shrill whine imaginable about the Canada Revenue Agency - featuring such shocking horror stories as "the CRA actually allows people to report tax evasion!" and "if you get caught criminally evading taxes, you could go to jail!"

I'd be tempted to ask just how Chevreau and DioGuardi think a tax system should work. But considering how outraged they are by the mere existence of enforcement mechanisms, it doesn't seem beyond the realm of possibility that they'd honestly see an entirely voluntary system as more practical and fair than one that actually functions.
