1942...Yer Dead

Wait, no, you aren't.

Wait, you are.

Not.

Are.

Not.

"I'm bright-eyed and bushy-tailed … So it was really a shock to find out I had died."

That is what Theresa Fraser, 77, of Garden of Eden, a hamlet in Nova Scotia, would like the Federales to get through their cotton picking heads. As the CBC in the Bluenose Province reports, her first death was at Christmas. She was in town shopping for the holiday, went to the bank to get some shekels and found out that her old age cheques were stopped coz she was dead.

She straightened that one out and got her back pay but then it happened again. She got a notice in the mail last week, a death notice. "It came to the estate of the late Theresa Fraser — my address and social security number was on it and everything," Fraser said. "So I died again."

This time Canada Revenue wanted her to return the GST cheque they had sent to her in January for $94.50.

That's right, CRA wanted a dead person to return a cheque.

Fraser got back on the phone to prove yet again that she is still alive. But she fears this may not be over yet. "I might be dead by the time it's over, if they keep bugging me." she said.

This never happened when we had a Liberal government.
