Federal Liberal's and Alberta WCB useing the same tactic's?

It’s now official. The court has unanimously ruled that Jean Chretien and his Cabinet, which included Paul Martin, were unlawfully seizing money from our pay cheques.

In a 7-0 judgment, the Supreme court ruled the former Liberal governments of Jean Chrétien and Paul Martin collected EI contributions illegally in 2002, 2003 and 2005.

In those years, EI rates were set directly by cabinet without proper authorization from Parliament, violating the ancient constitutional principle of no taxation without representation.

The economic wizardry of Paul Martin has direct links all the way to the pockets of tax payers, whose monies were being grabbed illegally for the sake of boosting the Liberal government’s claims of deficit and debt reduction.

Critics have long maintained the strategy amounted to balancing the federal books on the backs of the unemployed.

Critics say the government then went on to set the premiums charged to workers and employers at higher rates than were necessary to fund the reduced benefits and new programs. (courteously of CIVITATENSIS)

Now with the WCB of Alberta in 2003 with the high ELP's (economic loss payment's), which in turn increased the employer's premiums by 77% on average. The WCB then lowering the injured workers ELP's and re-calculating the ELP benefits, while keeping the premiums set at a higher rate; does this not sound the same kind of illegal activity?

One would think that when a federal political party gets caught doing such crimes, wouldn't other political parties realize that it is wrong? But then again WCB's across Canada have judicial powers and total authority over the injured worker (including the injured workers legal representation when it comes to a 3rd party law suit) which enables them to do what ever they want with no fear of being reprimanded. So who's the guilty party in this situation? Alberta Government , WCB or both ?
