Huh, since I've literally never been afforded the luxury of paying a capital gains tax and thanks to CBC's "like I'm a five-year-old" explanation, I realize I had some misconceptions about how it all works.

(Video below article)
Before, when I thought it was an actual tax on investment earnings, 66% seemed fantastic. Now I'm wondering why it's not 100% and why the Liberals made the first quarter million exempt from the increase.
everything under 250K is 50% free money. The increase is for what's above 250K.
(make 250K capital gain be taxed like you made 125K in hard earned labour income)
Conservatives call on government to back off capital gains changes due to legislative limbo
cbc.ca/news/politics/capital-g…
Just to clarify: the tax change make that any capital gain over 250K is taxes at 66% (ie the tax is calculated on 66% of it instead of 100%) while the first 250K are still taxed at 50%.
You employment income is taxed at 100%.
Just to show you were conservative stands.
Capital gains a real-estate sales, stock and other financial instrument, and few other things.
the CPC definition of "hard working Canadians" is those that make **lazy income** of over 250K....
Look at the hard-labour median salary in Canada.
Yes, capital gains are LAZY INCOME.

Why are tech people suddenly so int homeschooling?
As someone who was homeschooled for 13 years, I think it often boils down to a desire to *opt out of being around the average person*.
This impulse is understandable but maybe not very healthy.

in reply to Fedi.Tips 🎄 • • •p.p.s. A lot of people asking how they can crosspost from Mastodon to Pixelfed. The answer is this:
You do not need to crosspost from Mastodon to Pixelfed. Your posts on Mastodon are already visible to people on Pixelfed, because Mastodon and Pixelfed are both part of the same social network.
(The same in reverse, posts on Pixelfed are visible to people on Mastodon.)
Some of the accounts you see on here are Mastodon, some are Pixelfed, some are other types, but you can follow all of them.
