Canada Revenue Agency wants your propaganda videos

by Scott Gilbreath ~ January 27th, 2009

Everyone’s favourite branch of the federal government, Canada Revenue Agency, has uploaded to YouTube videos in both official languages advertising their video production contest. That’s right: The CRA brains trust has made videos asking Canadians to make videos about the badness of the underground economy and how it threatens our way of government life.

People who don’t report income are not contributing their share to the mother of all boondoggles—today’s budget “stimulus” package. “That’s not fair”, complains the video announcer.

The winner(s) of the CRA Independent Video Producer Awards will receive an all-expenses paid trip to a gala reception in—need you ask—Ottawa.

I’m not posting the videos here, but anyone who really wants to watch them can click here (English) and/or here (French).

Note that CRA has disabled comments and ratings on both videos. I wonder why.

    If I have this straight, the tax victim is being asked to prepare a propaganda video on why his victimisation is a good thing.

    Pity the comments are closed.
