Ramona Dunn thought her pay was tax-exempt but now feds want it all back

It’s officially over.

A company called O.I. Group has been fighting for a treaty exemption on taxation since the 1980s.

But now they have exhausted all attempts to force the issue in court.

Some employees are on the hook for thousands of dollars in back taxes.

    This whole thing is another example of government power over those with less power and the only way to defeat this and other injustices is for ALL First Nations people to stand up, and stand up together.

    If this agreement regarding tax exempt is in the treaties then that’s it, done, no excuses, the government has to live up to the agreement. Also, locations off the Reservations that work solely with Native people (similar to the one in Toronto) should be treated as if they are on the Reservation. In my view they are no different than an Embassy of another country within our country and they have special political status and if anyone should have this status in Canada it is our First Nations people.

    And do divisions of government give preferential treatment over one group as opposed to another? You bet they do! History is rife with examples of this in any political atmosphere.

    Lastly, I believe this situation needs a documentary done by the First Nations people and I am sure there are more than capable Native producers and directors out there who will take this on because it is the right thing to do!
