actually the court said nothing about him paying taxes. they gave him benefits based on “the sheer length of time and the roots the appellant had established while in Canada”
basically says if you come here and hide out illegally for long enough, we’ll give you welfare. terrible precedent to set

Yes, because
Brown said those definitions show the applicant reasonably fell outside the meaning of both tourist and visitor, “given the sheer length of time and the roots the appellant had established while in Canada.”
No evidence was presented at the tribunal that he had been ordered out of Canada by federal immigration authorities.
Therefore, he did not fit into the three categories that are excluded from eligibility with respect to immigration status and he was eligible.
I remember when Harris brought in this legislation. What an incredible self own lol.
Depends on how much you’re making. This guy has probably been below the poverty line the whole time he’s been in this country. If he’s been making less than the Basic Personal Amount income tax credit that anyone can claim, he wouldn’t be paying any tax even if he’d been doing everything by the book and above-board. If he wasn’t very far above it, he’d have been paying a pittance—probably less than he was paying out in sales taxes for everything he bought over the course of twenty-odd years.
22 years of cash jobs is not paying into the system
Oh so Canada only has employment taxes and nothing else.
they are the majority
I think you’ll survive giving him $350 a month for 6 months.
I’ll survive many, many things. that doesn’t mean anything. The point is he paid nowhere near his fair share of taxes.
I disagree and so does this court.
