It's the daily reminder that the Prime Minister cancelling the raise of the inclusion rate of capital gain for tax purpose is not a measure to help the middle class. It's a tax break to the rich.
Only 50% of capital gain are taxable, that mean the hard-earned-labour cash is taxed TWICE as much.
The inclusion rate was for above 250K. Taxes on 250K capital gain are as much as tax on 125K of hard-earned-labour.
PM Carney is a Con-servative. And capital gains are lazy income.
"Long before Prime Minister Mark Carney made sweeping election promises of harnessing artificial intelligence to boost productivity in the federal bureaucracy, AI programs were hard at work in the public service.
Whether it’s tax questions, addressing Phoenix pay issues, translation services, or drafting documents, it seems there’s an AI bot for that.
In fact, the annual report about the federal public service itself was developed with the help of generative artificial intelligence."

"Last month, PSPC’s Translation Bureau launched an AI translation tool prototype called PSPC Translate, spokesperson Jullian Paquin confirmed to The Hill Times.
The prototype was designed after a “noticeable decline” in translation request volumes, which suggested employees were using external translation tools like Google Translate and DeepL, an AI translation tool, Paquin said.
“To address this, the Translation Bureau sought to provide a secure, high-quality alternative that reflects Canadian linguistic standards and ensures data confidentiality.”
The tool is not intended to replace human translators, but to support the day-to-day communication needs of employees, and to reduce reliance on “unvetted external platforms," Paquin said."
I’m very disappointed in Carney, he’s actually a Conservative. I don’t think Poilievre would have been better, but at least I wouldn’t have been lied to.

April 4 : Carney pledges $150M boost to 'underfunded' CBC
July 16: Suggest your own 15% spending cuts, Carney government tells CBC #cdnpoli
'Mark Carney, who knows more about the climate change than any other prime minister we've ever had, still is talking pipelines and has never stopped talking pipelines. This is moral and economic madness.'
Make no mistake. This is a USA automaker and oil company hit job on the independence and sovereignty of the Canadian economy.
They are trying to reverse the inevitable so they can continue their own businesses as usual for as long as possible.
It can't be allowed to happen. Canada is already lagging far behind other nations. Our Economy and our Society and our burning forests, will suffer if our government gives in to this pressure.
CBC celebrates Canada Day with a column from a separatist Calgary oil&gas worker who protested at Coutts during the pandemic. #cdnpoli Gord says he read smalldeadanimals every morning - a rw blog that boosted the convoy & Poilievre. cbc.ca/news/canada/calgary/gor…
City council, the mayor, borough councils, borough mayors, #assnat, MNAs, MPs, #hoc, etc. have known this for a while... you'd think something/anything would've been said and done BEFORE June, right?
Right?
Nope, not in Montréal. Not in Québec.
Lip service, only. juste pour la forme, seulement.
Sen Paula Simons @Paulatics on the Senate passing Bill C-5 today w/o amendments bc they were "painted into a corner": #cdnpoli
"If we had made amendments, it would either require all the MPs to come back from their summer vacation and make the PM very unhappy, or we would have to wait until September ... and the PM had made a commitment the bill would be passed by July 1."
Wow. Solid majorities in the Liberals (60%), NDP (69%) & the Bloc (78%) all oppose Mark Carney using #BillC5 to override environmental regulations for fast-tracked projects.
Half still want proper ecological assessments; two-in-five in Quebec demand provincial input June 26, 2025 – The fast track on projects deemed in the national interest is well on the way to being paved.
Lobbyists and apologists and landlords who endeavour to gouge/justify the gouge, etc. w/ most landlords looking to pay their OWN mortgages, car payments, travel, etc. can f*ck a duck.
Montréal asking rents up nearly 71% in six years, according to Statistics Canada:
Trust me, if it happened in Ontario, it happened here in Québec, and across Canada! Corporate lobbyists and apologists for corporate landlords and investors are trying to say they're not to blame for the housing crisis.
If you're a landlord renting out a property for 3x-5x what it would've rented for ~5 years ago, you're the problem, too.
And you should be ashamed of yourself.
Your tenant shouldn't pay all your bills w/ the rent they pay...
"Iran's nuclear programme is a grave threat to intemational security, and Canada has been consistently clear that Iran can never be allowed to develop a nuclear weapon. While U.S. military action taken last night was designed to alleviate that threat, the situation in the Middle East remains highly volatile..."
I guess this is what Carney meant by "a new security relationship with the United States." #cdnpoli
OTTAWA - More than 300 civil society organizations are calling on the Liberal government to withdraw its new border bill, saying the legislation threatens liberties, refugee and migrant rights and
Boggling to watch towns across western Canada evacuating again in the face of what will be yet another super heavy wildfire season as Premiers from these same provinces bang the table for more pipelines. Equally boggling is our media STILL failing to make the obvious connection for us in any way /2 #abpoli #cdnpoli #Wildfires #pipelines #Climate #ClimateChange
The media should always be vigorously defended from cynical politicians seeking to hide their bad actions or poor policies but it's also true they need a reckoning when they fail at their very core purpose of exposing the full facts of the day & creating an informed electorate🧵 #abpoli #cdnpoli #Wildfires #pipelines #Climate #ClimateChange
Airport screening in the United States has detected the new variant in travellers arriving from those regions to destinations in California, Washington, Virginia and New York.
NB.1.81. is the latest COVID-19 variant spreading in the U.S. and Europe. Infectious disease doctors explain NB1.8.1 symptoms, treatment, and prevention.
Sooooo... Loblaw and Weston were still PRICE FIXING after being SPANKED for PRICE FIXING in 2017... both companies continued to collude until 2021... and what do you want to bet they've been colluding SINCE 2021, too?!?!?
And now WE have to prove we bought bread at Loblaw stores to get a gift card to spend at, wait for it, Loblaw stores?!?!?
HOW IS THAT A PUNISHMENT?!?
Ontario judge approves $500M settlement in Loblaw bread-fixing case:
Canada Post has issued a new set of offers to the union representing postal workers and is pushing for a speedy resolution as the clock ticks down to a possible strike.
Thank you, Liberal Party of Canada, for announcing your new cabinet on a platform that I can't read posts from without an account on X, which I removed thanks to Elon Musk, the same person who made posts on X no longer public. Why are you still using X, especially for important public announcements?
The fact that the Conservatives increased their vote share and seats—while offering almost nothing of substance to the vast majority of Canadians thanks to deep pockets & microtargeted influence campaigns—should be alarming to all, and cannot go unchecked between now and the next election.
Just ask any non-millionaire Conservative voter to explain their vote without mentioning Trudeau, and requiring them to specify their new tax rate if they mention tax cuts.
Actually, elevating Karina Gould should be the second thing PM Carney does.
The first should be taking affirmative, high profile public steps to protect our information spaces from corporate America, like requiring all government social media accounts to post from the government's brand new Mastodon instance (allowing mirrors to other platforms).
Otherwise, if Zuck, Musk & others can do as they please with our communications, Carney won't be PM for very long.
One of the first things I hope PM Carney does is find a way to elevate Karina Gould.

A #CPC candidate finally talks to the CBC and this guy is an absolute ass. 😂 Just going OFF on Doug Ford 😆 for being an “opportunist”. This guy apparently knows JD Vance.
Keep fascist American propaganda peddlers out of Canadian media. Conservatives/right wing are very eager to defund and bury the CBC because it's willing to call out their bullshit. #cdnpoli
