Scammers Swindle Vulnerable Canadians
 
Are you concerned that your stakeholders could be scammed? So is the Canada Revenue Agency (CRA).  No one is immune from scams, but most concerning are tax-related scams that appear to target new Canadians and senior citizens.
 
To assist you in keeping your stakeholders informed, the CRA has developed a video, a handout and print-ready posters for service providers.  Please feel free to share this information.

The overarching theme at last week's Republican convention was one of anger at an economy that is supposedly "not working." Donald Trump's biggest applause even came when he slammed trade and immigration.
