On @Takingstockca this week, the IMF gives Canada’s capital gains tax plan a thumbs up. Plus, the care economy is often ignored, but it doesn’t have to be. Watch 3 p.m. @bnnbloomberg; 9 p.m. @cp24; 10:30 p.m. @ctvnewschannel & https://t.co/CLMotx9YeI

I really DIDNT want to weigh in…but here’s a source that might help (there are many others) https://t.co/HaLS3iEF6Q bottom line: before this increase no one paid more than 27%… after no one will pay more than 36%. Many people will pay less.
