A reminder this is the same govt that sent 500$ to every senior in this country just before an election. Less political grandstanding and better public policy please.

It's hard to overstate the urgency of this problem. We cannot take Canadian economic performance for granted. We are sliding, and future generations will be ill-equipped to maintain our standard of living and to confront the multitude of challenges we face.
Foreign investment into Canada slowed in 2023, a second consecutive year-over-year deceleration, while the gap between Canadian investment abroad and foreign investment widened to a fresh high. www150.statcan.gc.ca/n1/daily-quoti…

Canada’s per capita output drops 7% below trend, new Statscan report says theglobeandmail.com/business/artic…
Via economics team at @RBC: "Since 2019, Canadian GDP per capita has declined 2.8% versus a 7% increase in the U.S. That marks the largest underperformance of the Canadian economy versus the U.S. over a comparable period since at least 1965."
"The Liberal tax hike, designed to pay for a spending spree, instead punishes prosperity." Well put. theglobeandmail.com/opinion/editor…

Le VP du Conseil canadien des affaires, Robert Asselin, (@rasselin66) croit que la taxation des gains en capital, annoncée dans le budget fédéral, contribuera à « rendre le climat d'investissement encore plus fragile » : youtu.be/-7-k5KGZg2A @BizCouncilofCan #polcan
The @BizCouncilofCan's VP, @rasselin66, is critical of the federal budget, saying the capital gains tax will "discourage business investment." Watch his interview with @michaelserapio: youtu.be/4AjbXJSblzw #cdnpoli
Higher taxes on large capital gains make it harder to build a technology company in Canada. The most talented founders and executives now have less incentive to take a bet on a Canadian tech company shooting for the moon. linkedin.com/posts/andrewtg…
