As Saskatchewan’s little LARP into lawlessness continues, a number of credulous columnists in this country continue to take it seriously that the province thinks they know that they’re doing, or that they have found legal loopholes around said lawlessness. They haven’t, and they should stop pretending that Scott Moe or his minister, Dustin Duncan, are some kind of evil geniuses sticking it to Trudeau. They’re not, and it’s a little embarrassing how easily some columnists can let themselves get played like this.
I don't understand why anyone plays along with the charade that the SK Minister's office can register as the distributor of natural gas in SK. They can't, because they aren't. The law is very clear on that and on the requirement for SaskEnergy to remit. @KellyCryderman pic.twitter.com/LiRXFyWjYC

I'm planning on petitioning the CRA to make @MikePMoffatt responsible for my income taxes. I'm not sure how it will go. How many column inches will be devoted to treating this as if it's something that might happen? "Leach positioned to be a hero to those tired of paying taxes!"

"Now, it's tempting to look at Leach as someone merely trying to avoid paying their fair share. But, when that share grows and grows, is he really to blame? I don't think so. Perhaps it's time we all took a page from his playbook and identified someone else to pay our taxes."

Take a minute to read the law, and then write about it. It's freemen on the land level stuff, and you're treating it like a serious gambit by someone who can see ten moves ahead in the chess board. Meanwhile, he thinks he's playing checkers with odd-shaped pieces.
