I'm excited to see how they're going to pull it off. I mean, if it's a measly "You should do it", I see many issues springing up in the future; they may not know who's avoiding taxes, but they'll see clear as day taxes are being avoided. Then they have fire power to campaign against the use of Bitcoin.
That's not the way our government works. They cannot outlaw bitcoin. We have the right to private property and there is a long standing coupon called "Canadian Tire Money" that is widely used. If you look at the development of Canada's banking and money you will see many private coupons. These were all legal.
This should be seen as a huge victory for bit coin. The Government of Canada has just officially recognized bitcoins and has stated that they want a slice of the action.
Now we just need to deal with the criminal cabal of bankers that are going to do everything in their power to subvert and undermine the currency.
