Ontario has become an embarrassment on housing policy in Canada.
B.C. Premier David Eby on fed housing announcement:
“We think it’s critically important to tie infrastructure funding to a clear commitment to build housing.... If provinces don’t step up, if they don’t do this, the money should come to the provinces who are doing the work.”

Irrelevant defence.
This is horrible policy despite this.
Risk capital drives productivity.
Today, we killed risk capital in Canada.

Repeat after me:
This is very simple!
“The change will not apply to any capital gains from the sale of a primary residence. Investment income earned in an RRSP or TFSA, including capital gains, also will not be taxed.”

Disappointing take on the change in the capital gains inclusion rate.
Tombe’s analysis starts by stating that “a dollar is a dollar is a dollar”, trying to establish an argument for “fairness” in the tax treatment of income vs capital.
What he misses is the obvious critique…
Whether you prefer higher taxes or lower, changing the capital gains inclusion rate made good sense. A missed opportunity to lower other taxes to compensate, however.
