Happens here in Canada w/ Post Merdia [not a typo, they're quite literally shit], as almost all of Canadian media have decided that the leader of the official opposition is justified in not obtaining a security clearance and that the LPC needs a new leader.

MSM DRIVES THE NARRATIVE.

Pollsters asking, on a scale of 1 to 10 how much I hate Trudeau? [I don't]

This Canadian Member of Parliament asked ChatGPT for a list of capital gains tax rates by country, got a nonsense answer, screenshotted it, and then tweeted the incorrect information.

(He later deleted the tweet.)

#canada #cdnpoli #twitter #x #ai #chatgpt #misinformation

Did you know? In Canada, Capital gains are taxed far lower than other types of income.

But watch for confusion! The recent increase from 50% to 67% is NOT the tax rate, it's just the amount of the gain that qualifies to be considered for taxation. Nothing is *taxed* at 67%.

You can have an opinion about whether or not $ in an investment should be treated the same or differently from $ from working a job. But that's a different topic.
