]So I don't understand a lot of this, and it may be the circumstances of my life:
if you do not understand it , why are you commenting on it ?
I am a small business owner. I'm paying a lot less tax under Trudeau.
you are either lying or an extreme outlier, lets go with the outlier
Yes, you need to structure your company properly, but that's literally doing business.
lets hope you consulted a tax expert about your corporate structure
In fact, I just got a bonus small business carbon tax rebate.
lucky you
we will assume you do not need to feed livestock, move people or material around, purchase raw materials or use much energy like many small businesses do
Are you talking about capital gains? This is so easily worked around that it's not funny, and the real cost is minimal agaist the amounts that trigger the increase.
the reference to small business was not to capital gains, thibk back to 2016/ 2017 . Trudeau has attacked small business more than just once
the capital gain tax increase is a killer for venture capital which is so very important for innovation and future economic growth , two areas Canada is woefully behind in already
it is also a dis-incentive for many doctors/ medical professionals to stay in Canada , again a chronic weakness for Canada
Resource Sector - Trudeau can't force oil through the states. TMX is up and running, tripling our export capacity...
he killed 3 of 4 pipelines and created an money pit with TM+X. Canadian oils is sold at a discount, while we import foreign oil at a premium
Carbon Tax: Sure, but I can tell you that climate change hurts my business more than the carbon tax does, plus, like I said, bonus rebates.
you are delusional if you think taxation / mankind can control the climate
And again - Ford killed a profitable (for the province) cap-and-trade system, which is why we have the system we do.
and again you are delusional if you think taxation / mankind can control the climate
Investment and federal finances: Southern Ontario is building a ridiculous amount of factories, and those companies are not Canadian owned. And Canada's credit rating is AAA, better than the US, England, France, China, etc.
Mortgage back securities were highly rated and then thy became worthless junk in 2008
"Expanded government with no perceived benefit" - You don't and wont see the benefit of a coastguard nav beacon, but you do get fresh bread at the grocery store.
ridiculous rhetoric
1 in 4 full time employed Canadians work for govt (fed, prov, municipal). That is not economically sustainable
I agree on immigration, should have acted sooner to change Termp-Foreign Worker program, and prevented premiers from defunding colleges and universities, forcing them to make up the shortfalls with foreign students.
Trudeau's immigration policy was ideologically based
Ready, shoot, aim
You cannot run a country that way and expect success
GDP per capita doesn't seem to be true from what I can find: Canada is 53k(US), Mississipi is 39k. Canada is basically tied with Germany.
keep looking
I'm not saying he's perfect, but record-for-record, I'll take Trudeau every day over Poilievre.
You are entitled to your opinion
it is an outlier and a strange opinion at that
i do not believe you understand the damage he has done, however it will become clear if you are truly objective
inflation may not impact you as much, consider yourself fortunate... so far
it most defiantly does/ has impact most Canadians
Trudeau is a moron, who was never qualified for the job
He is going to get destroyed in the next election.
inflation is political kryptonite for incumbent govts
