2022 MAY DAY - GOVERNMENT'S LAST PAY DAY - This would require the cooperation and participation of the majority of the private businesses across Canada. It is called "2022 May Day - Government's Last Pay Day". The private sector taxpayers will demand that every Provincial Government and the Federal Government of Canada provide Canadian taxpayers with a balanced budget in 2022. The government gets ALL of their revenue from private business taxes, and private businesses actually COLLECT and REMIT these tax revenues DIRECTLY to the government. EVERY private sector business in Canada will STOP DOING THIS on May 1, 2022 if all government budgets are not balanced.
Businesses would stop making any interim tax payments on that date, they would stop deducting income tax (and any other tax deductions) from their employees, and no longer remit their GST/HST. Their employees (re-designate them as contract workers?) would receive their gross pay and would then be responsible for remitting their own tax payments. If Canadians feel they are getting value for their tax dollars, remittance will be quick and the government will not suffer. However, we know what is likely to happen - not many will pay up, and the politicians and public sector employees will immediately be impacted because there will be a SERIOUS decline in their revenue.
Employees will still have money to spend on goods and services, businesses will still be able to provide those goods and services, however the public sector will come to a stand still - the PRIVATE SECTOR will be in control and politicians will be forced to listen.
There are LOTS of conditions that could then be imposed on the public sector use of our tax dollars before we cough them up again - 50% reduction in MP and MPP salaries, elimination of gold plated pensions, benefit packages reduced, public sector wages reduced 10%, early retirement eliminated and on and on.
This is a HUGE undertaking but if the majority of private businesses get on board, there is NO WAY the government will be able to enforce the compliance of non-remitters (there will be no one to enforce anything) and there would be a huge shift in the power imbalance. Waiting until 2022 allows two years for this idea to spread and once a few bean counters calculate the enormous effect this would have if businesses stick together, perhaps our politicians would smarten up. This idea is also non-partisan and it can be implemented ANY TIME if things don't improve...

Trying to get Canadians to support this is going to need Devine intervention. It’s a really great concept and it needs to be thrown around on every platform available. Why not create a Group for this? I will help you promo this wherever possible.

I wonder if such a thing is possible in a country that can't overcome roadblocks? Is it possible for the country to elect a populist who puts Canada first? Honestly, I am just thinking out loud.
