Chrystia Freeland would drop the Canadian government’s policy of raising the capital gains inclusion rate if she wins the race to replace Justin Trudeau as prime minister, according to a person with knowledge of her plan.

Do I smell austerity for the working class?

lots of working class people are going to be hit with these capital gains taxes…

i am probably going to get hit by this tax increase and i’m not particularly wealthy. but i don’t care either way, if i’m taxed, then i’m taxed

my point is that there are bigger fish to fry, rather than going after dentists or whatever moderately wealthy people.

people online seem to think that anyone with a portfolio of investments is basically on the same level as galen weston…

I think you missed something here. There was a mention of austerity for the working class. I said it’s always austerity for the working class. Yes there are bigger fish to fry that had nothing to do with what was said.
