In this discussion, Mike and Cara are joined by the executive director of Canadians for Tax Fairness Katrina Miller to discuss the benefits of automatic tax filing and how it can save people money. The conversation explores the concept of automatic tax filing, the groups that would benefit from it, the current status of its implementation in Canada, and the opposition it faces from tax accountants and software firms. 

The conversation also touches on the potential implementation of automatic tax filing in Canada, citing examples from the UK and New Zealand. It concludes with a discussion on the likelihood of the system being implemented nationwide and the importance of raising awareness about its benefits.
