Today’s Canada is not what was planned by the provinces.
BC Refed presents to you here what one BC journalist has called: “amazing research into the British North America Act, 1867″
This research supports the assertion by the BC Refederation Party that the federal income tax is unlawful (unconstitutional). Before Ottawa was ever created by the provinces, the Quebec Resolutions made income tax payable ONLY to the provinces.
Here is the story compressed on to one page :
This is how the people and the provinces have been betrayed by the central government. The contract between the 3 original Canadian Provinces and the British Government [the BNA Act] is today legally null and void.

This is what happened :
- The 3 Provinces contracted with Britain to write a BNA Act (the contract “Principals” were the four governments).
- The 1864 contract terms were the Quebec Resolutions 1864 (ratified by the Provinces).
- The 1866 Canadian delegation that was sent to London altered vital wording in the agreed contract, without authority [the key word “other”was deleted] .
- The Canadian delegation (the legal agent of the Provinces) thus broke its fiduciary responsibility to its Principal.
Therefore in law the Provinces are not bound by that one altered term in the resulting contract (the BNA Act, which became a legal contract between Britain and the 3 Provinces).

Ottawa’s jurisdiction today does not extend to imposing “all or any modes or systems of taxation” in the Canadian provinces. The Provinces today are not liable to perform under a contract that has been invalid from the start…
1864
1866
The texts of the Quebec resolutions 1864 and the London Resolutions 1866 are in libraries. Read them and compare the wording for yourself. Here are the bare bones of the two texts:
- 1864 Provinces agreed to terms of a contract (Quebec Resolutions) as follows :
A The Provinces kept to themselves their power to impose direct taxes …
B Ottawa only received from the provinces the power to impose all or any other modes or systems of taxation.
- 1866 The Agent of the Provinces (the London delegation of lawyers) without authority, altered the terms to :
A The Provinces keep the power to impose direct taxes
B Ottawa gets the power to impose all or any modes or systems of taxation - [other]
- 1867 The BNA Act was innocently drafted by the British government based on the altered London Resolutions (1866)
All quotes are taken from the minutes of the federal provincial conference of that year.
