@@mpomp6378 average salary of private sector employees is 54k, average salary of a public sector employee is 108k.

Their compensation also includes paid expenses and benefits not factored into their salaries and unavailable to most private sector workers.

Employment Insurance is denying claims to workers who earned it and never took CERB. Release statistics on how many Employment Insurance and Sick Employment Insurance claims have been denied since the massive CERB fraud. Its obvious they are desperately trying to claw back money for all of the money lost due to fraudulent CERB claims. If Polievre gets elected and fires a bunch of Employment Insurance staff, I don't think Canadians will mind, since they (government emloyees) were paid very handsomely to deny Candadians earned benefits on loopholes and technicalities withheld from Canadians until they find out about them after their claims are denied. I know someone who had to submit a doctor's note 3 times, that they were healed from a chronic medical condition and fit enough to return looking for work, until the investigator finally believed it and accepted it over 3 months later, only to deny the person's claim because person's car was broke and they were awaiting for their claim to be approved to have it repaired. The investigator said that this meant the person was not available for work because there was no public transit where the person lived. If EI hadn't dragged its feet for 3 months denying the Doctors' notes, the person's car would have been fixed and EI wouldn't have been able to use that as a baloney excuse to deny the person's legitimate claim.

A top earning welder and let’s say their spouse used to earn over 250k together.. so yes it will affect top earners.. also the tax rate is already astronomical compared to the rest of the G7…so why even try to earn that amount? Leave Canada and actually earn that amount somewhere else.

[@XetaXones]

Or tax evade like the elites (philanthropists) do

[@lorrainebergstrom9391]

Your income is not a capital gain ever, no matter how much income you earn because your income is not a profit, it's income. Selling your principle residence is not a capital gain either. A capital gain is any money you gain in profits (not what you paid for it, but only your profit) from investments or revenue property or second non-primary properties. And then the money you invest is not a capital gain - only the profit you make on that investment is regarded as a capital gain, just the profit. Then both you and your wife receive each a yearly exemption of $250,000.00 - so that equals to a $500,000.00 exemption for the both of you together yearly. So you could make a $500,000.00 profit and not pay any capital gains tax, and this profit would only be taxed at your regular tax rate just like your earned income from working, which is different than the capital gains tax. And then any profit above your allowed expemption would be taxed as capital gains tax of 66%, which would be your tax rate on the profit only, not your initial investment. The capital gains tax was previously 50% and in this year's new canadian liberal budget, it has just been increased to 66%. So the increase is a 16% difference than the way it was before.

[@soccerchick1]

There’s plenty of people who live above the poverty line who still need a dental plan!! Healthcare is SO expensive and when in emergency can be life changing!!! Also would supply more access to dentists because again not everyone has tens of thousands of dollars just laying around ready to pay for a procedure so if they have a plan the doctor is more likely to take them on!!!
