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.

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.
What about telling Quebeckers, specifically adults, where they can get booster shots, etc.?

Man, corporations really want to put a stop to libraries:

"Depending on the title, public libraries may pay two or three times more for an e-book than they pay for its print edition. In some cases, the e-book may be up to six times the price, librarians told CBC."
"Those publishers ... will often license copies of e-books for just 12 or 24 months. Once that licence expires, libraries must repurchase access to the same book." #canada #cdnpoli #books

Canada is not an ally of the USA, it is a vassal state.
Just the posturing of an incoming POTUS is enough to cause severe damage to our economy.
We are suddenly spending $1 billion more on defending our border, not on preventing the flood of guns FROM the US, but on preventing the trickle of drugs and migrants TO the US.
Trump couldn't force Mexico to pay for the wall but he is forcing Canada to pay for border patrols to prevent smuggling into the US, which is surely the job of the USA.

Just a note to my fellow Canadians, that this is most of the cause of the Canada Post strike that you're all complaining about during Christmas. Harper gutted public funding for Canada Post and told them to run like a business. They are an essential public service, and should not be run for profit!
Did you know that paid maternity leave benefits have only been around since 1971 in Canada? Before that, a new mother had to quit work or return to work quickly if her family depended on her income.Canadian Labour Congress
"For example, I’m developing a device for newborn care that monitors infants’ body temperature, skin colour, eye colour, weight and heart rate, among other factors, to track their health, particularly during those critical first few weeks of life. It could save lives. Think of how many other students have ideas and skills we can’t even imagine yet.
That’s why it’s so disheartening to hear some Canadians talk about international students like we’re parasites. I pay about $12,000 per semester in tuition—far more than Quebec residents do. I have a campus job as a kitchen supervisor to cover my expenses, and I live in a small two-bedroom apartment with a roommate. People like me are not responsible for Canada’s problems. But we can help solve them, contributing to the country’s cultural diversity, its economy, its innovation and its growth. And by bridging gaps between nations, we help build a more inclusive society for everyone."

Shopify CEO Tobi Lutke is calling for the end of Canada’s public postal service because its workers have gone on strike.
The company’s leaders are increasingly pushing extreme right-wing positions in Canada. Gutting Canada Post would effectively end delivery in many rural and remote communities because it’s not profitable for private companies to serve them.
