Show Notes
The Canada Revenue Agency is going after a trio of former Blue Jays stars, to the tune of millions of dollars.
The players, Jose Bautista, Josh Donaldson, and Russell Martin are fighting with the taxman relating to what amounts to a dispute over taxes and retirement income.
National Post political reporter Chris Nardi joins the show to discuss what the issue is, why these players may have run afoul of Canadian tax rules, and why the case could potentially make it harder to attract top athletes to Canada.
