Really great analysis by DT Cochrane and @MarcLeeCCPA I've been seeing this type of work out of the EU/US and was wondering recently who was doing it here in Canada! We take for granted that our tax system is progressive.

With all the talk about the new Capital Gains Tax changes only hitting the top 0.13%, I was curious what the income threshold was for that. Looks like that's about $275K annual income and higher. www150.statcan.gc.ca/t1/tbl1/en/cv.…

I've seen a few opinion pieces criticizing the capital gains tax increase for those with >$250K of gains. They note a few problems here; a shortcoming there. Fair enough---no real-world tax measure will be perfect. But there's a "tell" in what these pieces *don't* say....

Bills C-59 and C-69 received Royal Assent yesterday. As a result, Canada now has a first of its kind Employee Ownership Trust and an accompanying tax credit to incentivize owners to sell to their employees.

Polling shows Canadians are skeptical of 'economic growth' An important caution for politicians and lobby groups fixated on selling 'growth plans' to a population that has come to expect that it's synonymous with gains for the rich - not them. theglobeandmail.com/business/comme…

Want to amplify Ashley Challinor's call for policy wonks to read this great report by the New Brunswick Child, Youth and Seniors Advocate. Very relevant for all governments and refreshingly readable.

When a highly successful business person calls for collective sacrifice, I think it’d be helpful for them to clarify what specifically they see themself sacrificing?
