Quotes
"Smith’s Manoeuvre is the real deal. It may be nothing short of a revolution."
Jonathan Chevreau
National Post, August 23, 2006
"As a columnist, author, tax paying citizen with a house mortgage, I may not be your 'average' Canadian. I do know that my future is significantly brighter since I implemented The Smith Manoeuvre to convert my interest expense into tax deductions."
"In addition to my new, free tax deduction refund cheques which I have received for two years now, The Smith Manoeuvre has allowed me to start building an investment portfolio that otherwise was going to have to wait until my mortgage was paid off. Sooner is better. Much better."
Elizabeth Nickson, MBA
National Post Columnist
"As Leader of the Reform Party and a founder of the Canadian Alliance, one of my greatest concerns has been the excessively high taxes paid by Canadians. While tax relief through tax reform is urgently needed and will eventually come, the strategy proposed by Fraser Smith offers every Canadian who has a mortgage the possibility of significant tax relief right now. I would encourage you to read Fraser's book and discuss his strategy with your banker or financial planner as soon as possible."
Preston Manning
Former Leader of the Official Opposition
"Fraser Smith's door ought to have been knocked down hundreds of times. It ought to have been torn from its hinges and thrust aside as mortgage-weary Canadians stormed in to see the man who could help them pay down that mortgage faster and write off the interest like their American cousins."
Andrew Duffy, Times Columnist, January 22, 2003
"Financial Planner Manoeuvres Rules and Banks to Your Benefit"
"Really simple. Really lovely. And legal several times over, thanks to RevCan, which has tested the deductibility of investment interest several times and, in November [2001], lost in the Supreme Court of Canada."
"Fraser, with the help of the bankers at VanCity Credit Union (the second-largest credit union in the world), has been engineering this feat for all kinds of people for years, from chefs and hostesses, to school principals and corporate presidents. His just-published book is clean, spare and witty." (Published with the permission of Elizabeth Nickson)

"Borrow Your Way to Tax Freedom"
"A must read for those looking to reduce their tax bill and increase their financial security."
Canadian Taxpayers Federation
The Taxpayer, December 2002 / January 2003 Issue
"...a snowballing virtuous circle that lets you tweak the noses of both the banks and the taxman."
Jonathan Chevreau
National Post - December 19, 2002
"Smith deserves credit for introducing debt-conversion strategies to a wider audience."
Michael Kane, Vancouver Sun
"Book promises to liberate the little guy" - November 6, 2002
"Too many Canadians are delaying their investment program until it is too late. His [Smith's] answer is to turn bad debt into good debt - in other words, converting the largest debt of a person's lifetime - their mortgage - into a means of literally, having their cake and eating it too."
