  Calvin Cumberland now has a criminal record and served seven months under house arrest because he published information claiming an employee of Revenue Canada worked for "an insidious organization that caus[es] people's deaths." He went on to say, "Protect yourself from organized crime. If you are approached by this man be prepared to defend yourself". This was a strategic move in Cumberland's effort to publicize the unfairness of income tax, a legitimate political position shared by many Canadians. He chose the tactic of postering after the taxman had refused to accept a zero income tax return and had come to Cumberland's house. Calvin Cumberland committed no violence and was cooperative with the court: the taxman claims he suffered all manner of emotional trauma as a consequence of having his picture posted, claiming it was an attack on his character and reputation and he felt his personal safety was in jeopardy. It seems clear that Revenue Canada, who has been notorious for successfully using severe bullying tactics in the past has now added whining about imaginary threats to its arsenal of tactics. Organized crime? You bet. With the full power of the state to back it up.
