😡 4 hours on the phone with the Canada Revenue Agency
Moving back to Canada has been polarizing for me. On one hand, I am loving being in Kelowna, it's gorgeous here, the winter is mild, the community is great, and I'm so grateful for all it's brought me. On the other hand, Canada hurts my heart... And having to deal with re-immigrating has been SO hard. Today I spent 4 hours of my life on calls with accountants, government agents and all sorts of CRA agents, and it's really re-emphasized how much I dislike this system. And the tax situation... and the GST situation.. and all of it. It's a strange kind of hell being a part of a system you know is slavery. That's why having conversations like the ones we've been having, and coming up with better tax / residency / legal structure IS SO IMPORTANT. Taxes are a massive scam. This system is a massive scam. I feel the tightness in my chest as I really tune into the matrix prison... And yet, I know the anger and frustration doesn't fully serve me... So I now ranted it out, and I let it go... And I continue to do the hard, complex, annoying work to live in the loopholes. Freedom & Sovereignty don't come easy in this twisted world... But it's worth it. It's worth all the pain, suffering & trouble. I just keep reminding myself of that.
