It took John Konecny six days to journey from Whitby, Ont. to Ottawa. He kept every receipt enroute and the CRA approved his tax deductions

He packed his belongings and moved from Whitby, Ont., to Ottawa — in a canoe — and had the government deduct his expenses.

Soon after graduating, he started full-time work as an English teacher in Scarborough, Ont., east of Toronto’s core, but had already gained work as a supply teacher in Ottawa. Then, Konecny had an epiphany.The CRA allows Canadians to deduct eligible expenses from their taxable income if they move at least 40 kilometres for work or school, allowing someone to not pay tax on the money they use to move.

“That put me over the top,” he said. “I was on Parliament Hill when the Queen signed the constitution … I take the tax system and the Constitution very to heart.” “Mr. Konecny, could you move in a canoe?” That question led Konecny to find himself paddling along Lake Ontario’s shorelines in a beaten, blue fibreglass canoe for his move in 2018.Lugging the canoe on his bike in a small trailer along with some groceries and a few bottles of wine, the six-day journey had him trek through five provincial parks and navigate the water using a modified weed wacker as a propeller.

Canada is teetering on the edge of a “Made in Canada Recession” independent of the USA for ONLY the second time in history courtesy of Trudeau, and this is news

One way or another, he's not a real taxpayer. He's a tax taker, not maker. Typical greedy teacher. Retired, and still greedy.

Feminist won’t do this, they just cave and drink the koolaid imo
