No election for years

[@clintyoung8087]

Who is this Prof. Paul Kershaw? I want to know more about him. It’s bad enough that our PM is a moron, but that’s he’s too obtuse to surround himself with smart people, only ideologues. Academic radicals literally making policy? Heaven help us! If this keeps up, I’ll find myself heavily jealous of the person who took to the pacific in a canoe. Oct ‘25 couldn’t come fast enough. Even still, Trudouche has something wicked up his sleeve, I can feel it. We’re seeing the slow but steady roll out of Oceania.

[@catherinewilson1079]

Yeah, Justin’s not finished yet! SOB

[@rickhacheyhachey9355]

I said it all along, their coming after all your money!

[@Shirleygirley]

Of course...I said that during the covid bs! I was one of the most awful people on the planet to dare talk about our economy back then. Lockdowns and free money from the government...yeehaw!!!

[@Lovethe416CaTeam]

We already pay a tax. It's called "The Land Transfer Tax" Double if you live in Toronto. If we are paying a tax on the sale of the house, then we have to be able to "write off" mortgage interest payments and improvements to the house like a landlord does now.

[@conciousnessm]

It's called "Stakeholder Caoitalism", you to own nothing, and them to be happy

[@etienneprinsloo6799]

This is what most Canadians want and voted for. Apparently it shows virtue, a word they can’t find in the dictionary.

[@jasonrichardson801]

BS, this is because 9years ago a small portion of this country with a denser population then the rest of Canada voted for these morons and have ushered in this woke dystopian nightmare.

[@CanadaBud23]

Not a single Canadian wanted this shit, just stupid leftists.

[@MrBoondocker247]

LET'S TAX TRUEDOPE's TRUST FUND!

[@kdubcreations]

This has to stop. We cannot handle any more taxes. Carbon Tax, Steaming Tax, Income Tax, Capitol Gains Tax. Our property taxes have increased due to out of control inflation as well. When does it end. We are all hurting. We are being punished for being successful and working hard. I should be farther ahead financially at this point in my life and this government has stolen this from us all. As my children become young adults, they have no chance of being successful out on their own. I am tired of this inadequately educated government thinking they have "more work to do" and they now "hear Canadians" Tone deaf for 9 years and it just keeps getting worse. They inherited a balanced budget from Stephen Harper and have driven this country to the brink of collapse. This will take decades to recover from and yet no Liberal can look around and see what they have done and honestly admit their lack of operating a proper government. I used to love this country. I didn't hang my flag on Canada day because it doesn't feel like Canada anymore.

[@Shirleygirley]

it hasn't felt like Canada since 2020.

[@jksouthern]

You forgot GST and HST. Fork Canada

[@catherinewilson1079]

He bloody well BETTER NOT TAX MY PRIMARY(only) RESIDENCE!!! I call for a True Canadian Revolution!

[@Backyardgarden]

They want to. on the tax forms they ask the question if your planning on selling your home.

[@jamesneveaux4892]

Why not tax trust funds and Family Foundations along with hidden offshore bank accounts held by Narssisistic PM's

[@culshie]

This would be the Tax that breaks the Contract, it would be time to march on Ottawa and if Canadians did not do that then they would deserve everything that is done to them, no one agreed to this as indeed they did not agree on the changes to Capital Gains or any of the other Taxes that the Liberal Party love to inflict on us, there has to be a tipping point when the Canadian Taxpayer will say enough is enough this is not what we thought we would get, indeed without the support of the NDP none of this would be possible a point to keep in mind. If and when the Liberals are sent packing we will need a "Forensic Audit", to find out just where all the money went? Oh and it would probably a good idea to seize some peoples Passports for the duration of the Audit.

[@catherinewilson1079]

Who knows how to organize a revolution? I’m in!

[@user-zb1ri9fn3n]

Curious, how much tax owed for living in a tent? That's where gen z is headed. 'No inheritance for you. '

[@WoWisdeadtome]

Studies ordered by the government serve only one of two purposes: 1) To delay or prevent putting in a policy popular with the electorate but undesirable to politicians and/or the political donor class. 2) To manufacture consent for a policy unpopular with the electorate but desirable to politicians and/or the political donor class.

[@bornfree955]

No way, no how. Worked hard our whole lives. Why should we lose what we bought and paid for to support those who don't want to work hard.

[@martinc8057]

Their taxing is leading people to see taxes as theft.

[@MrUbiparip]

Still lots of time for Justin and Rolex Jag to do immense damage to Canadian society. Damage, after damage. Insane.

[@philnicholson7863]

This is what will cause the very violent revolt.

[@JustEatRealFood]

But they wouldn't be taking the money from people that have spent their whole lives saving to give it to younger voters. They'd be taking our money to waste bureaucracy, studies, consultants and debt interest payments!

[@BeholderThe1st]

There isn't a pocket these scumbags wont try to dip into so that they can fund their useless, economy destroying vanity projects. I think this is a ridiculous tax grab and if they insist on taxing primary residences then we better be able to claim interest expenses as deductions from our taxes (retroactively) since the reason mortgage expenses on our taxes aren't tax deductible has always been justified because our primary residences were non taxable.

[@bigsid3011]

If implemented, I would expect that Canadians will have to act and take Canada back.

[@user-ht7if9qt6u]

How about a trust fund tax instead - that's where if you were a trust fund kid you have to dissolve the trust fund by your 20th birthday of the CRA dissolves it for you and charges a 10% fee.

[@hotrodplumber]

A public private partnership is fascism!!!

[@dethostefo]

They truley are criminals

[@FMJIRISH]

Oh great, a poll tax.

[@marciajeffers6195]

In the 60’s we moved into a house in Calgary, a show home, for $20000.00. Now that home is over $750000.00. Imagine how much the seniors would have to pay in taxes. Absolutely ridiculous.

[@user-wx8cv2jw6c]

When people are ok with this and not stand up and say No to all the taxes.if Canadians decide to say we can not change anything it is what it is then I have to say that Canadians are hopeless if they accept this. This is part of the reason why we are so pushed in corners because not all Canadians stand up. Together we can change things. Alone you can not change things. We are more Canadians as a Government who tried to fake away our freedom.

[@tpspc03]

Communism without actually repossessing the property. Just socialize the real estate profits.

[@kevincaan2862]

Instead there should be a new tax on 'family fortunes'...especially those with the last name of TRUDEAU!

[@peregrine2361]

That will be the last straw for many people living in Canada. Time is coming close to a different country.

[@jamesblair9614]

The Liberals ability to seek out and hitch their wagon to policies that are sure to be wildly unpopular is absolutely jaw dropping.

[@dhroman4564]

Should he be re-elected by craziness, there will be a primary residence tax.

[@snowbird6855]

And more
