https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Brookfield_Corporation Brookfield Corporation's headquarters are in Toronto, while its subsidiary Brookfield Asset Management has been based in New York since 2024. Soooooooo.... The scandal is that a successful Canadian Multinational, that got it's start buying...

You're arguing out of both sides of your mouth. Let's look at 2 startups. 1 is building a building, and 1 is selling a product. The investors in company 1 will be subject to capital gains IF the building ever sells. Only half of those capital gains will be taxed, and they will be reduced by...

I'm not even going to quote it. https://www.policyalternatives.ca/news-research/canadas-shift-to-a-more-regressive-tax-system-2004-to-2022/

Can you back this up with anything that's not anecdotal?

But what measure would you use to determine if they are "more green". Surely you're not tying tax rebates to carbon output? Like some kind of Carbon Tax Credit?

You are ideologically driven, not fact driven. You can not provided any evidence to back up your claims. Just on the Thompson Family point: You pretend to be a free market capitalist. If the government were to let the Thompsons keep their 98 Billion, but disinvest them from Thompson Reuters...

Again, reading comprehension is not the strong suit of this board in general, but: https://www.cbc.ca/news/politics/andrew-scheer-walks-back-us-pledge-1.5576006 vs https://www.cbc.ca/news/canada/dual-citizenship-prime-minister-carney-1.7481926 One guy hid it right up until the end of the...

So you and I disagree. We have been lowering taxes on the wealthy since 1981. Your experiment has been ongoing for nearly 45 years. Can you show me one metric by which the median income earner has out performed the 1% income earner? As your "scary study" points out, when 99% of people lose...

You are once again just repeating what I'm saying, and letting us know that you don't know what Capital Gains are. Money in a low risk fund is taxed way less than money earned. The incentive is already there to leave it parked. If I start bringing the tax rate on capital gains up, parking the...

Almost every word of this is wrong. But just focusing on professionals and classes: A doctor does not sell their patient list. They MAY own the building that there practice is in, and they MAY have equipment to sell, but there is no "practice" to sell. Plus, they avoid capital gains tax on...

Ooh, the old " if you don't know i'm not going to tell you". I hope you don't come back with "I'm rubber your glue". That would put me in my place. find me one statistic, indicator, or macro economic trend tha has improved for a middle class earner compared to a 1% earner since 1981.

Prove me wrong then.

I should have assumed based on your reading comprehension you wouldn't pick up what I'm putting down. Page 10 has what you need to know. Wealth in Canada is stranded. The capital class is not reinvesting. They're just parking money and living off returns. This is what the increased...

Ugh, you shouldn't reply to "Conservatives cherrypick scary words" with more cherry picking of scary words. " Thinking about future scenarios helps decision-makers understand some of the forces already influencing their policy environment. It can also help them test the future readiness of...

Wait, is a conservative deliberately misinterpereting a report to spread fear!?!? Must be one of those days that ends in Y. https://www.cbc.ca/news/politics/policy-horizons-report-2040-poilievre-1.7515683 Actual report...
