Dear Editor:

Justin Trudeau’s three companies he owned.

Our Prime Minister Justin Trudeau thinks the wealthy use the product of small business to avoid paying taxes and he thinks small businesses are tax cheats. 

Well my brother-in-law John Anaka who owns Freedom Sound is not rich and he does not own a business to avoid paying taxes he is just trying to make an honest living and feed his family. Justin Trudeau wants to honour small business owners that create jobs and tax the rich business owners who are trying to avoid paying their taxes.

But before Justin Trudeau became Prime Minister he owned three small businesses, he was the owner of JPJT Canada that handled his corporate speaking and he charged twenty thousand dollars for each speaking engagement and over the six period time he earned 1.3 million dollars and when he became the leader of the Liberal party he closed down his business and he lowered down his personal tax burden by having JPJT express pay his related-speaking engagements. He reported that he received income from JPJT through MP ethics disclosure money taxed through his personal income-tax rate. It is still not known how much money he got from his personal income-tax through the JPJT Canada.

He owned 90562 Canada Inc. A federal cooperation that held portfolio of securities were part of the inheritance of his father former Prime Minister Pierre Trudeau that he shared with his brother Alexander. Then the securities were managed by Jarislowsky Fraser the securities were dissolved in December 2013.

Justin Trudeau also owned 766497 Canada Inc. A holding company that was split up after the inheritance from his father Pierre Trudeau was split up. The company listed $958,000 thousand dollars and $255,000 in cash. Then Justin Trudeau turned the business to BMO Harris Private Banking in Montreal and Joel Currier sole director of 766497 Canada who used to be vice president of the company.

So well the opposition ask our Prime Minister how much money he made from his personal income-tax rate and was our Prime Minister avoided paying taxes by using JPJT Canada to pay for his speaking-related express and well he share how much he made through his income tax, time will and is our Prime Minister caught in a tax cheat that is the question the Prime Minister has to answer one day, I guess we will wait and see what happens.
