Let's face it

Conrad Black is a deadbeat.  He now owes Canadians $12.3 million in unpaid taxes and Americans $19.3.  That's disgusting.  The public record shows that he has divested himself of millions in property all over the world, but his bank accounts don't reflect the millions he has made from the sales. 

His wife, however, apparently has lots of valuable property.  Gee, wonder how that happened?  But my old alma mater, the CRA, is on to him and has put liens on the sale of his Toronto mansion to at least recover a few shekels, but it will be relatively few because after the mortgages and other encumbrances on the property are discharged, there will be but fewer than $1 million for Canadians to claim.  This means, as the court said, "there will no longer be funds available to satisfy the tax debt." 

Let me tell you, if he has to go to a doctor or into a Canadian hospital he better be presented with a hefty bill.  And he might remember that we put people in jail for such offences.  Pay your taxes and be grateful for the privilege.
