In Manitoba, a shocking case unfolded. Not one man, but 14 men all with the same name—Jaswinder Singh Brar—were hit with a $127,800 property tax bill.
The cause of the confusion was another man with the same name who had failed to pay rent on a large trailer.
One of the victims described feeling so panicked that he had to take blood pressure medication the day he received the notice.
Eventually, he had to prove that he was not the Brar who had defaulted on his taxes, in order to have the lien on his home lifted.
The incident turned out to be a funny and shocking story about the power of similar names and administrative confusion.
