It's a start. Its a modest increase in capital gains inclusion (66% instead of 50%) for all capital gains over $250,000 per year

So, good, normal people won't be affected at all, but only super wealthy folks triggering a quarter million in gains every single year are going to feel any effect. And unfortunately, there's more than a few ways to just avoid triggering gains anyways.

Eh, at least it's a start.

Sounds like a pretty big win to me? Who answers emails after hours, yuck

Nothing quite like waking up to the dulcet tones of a sarcastic trombone, and you've been revving that thing like a Harley these past few mornings

The party of red tape back at it again!

More absolutely shit, unnecessarily argumentative policy from an absolutely shit, unnecessarily argumentative asshole of a premier.

I've said it before and I'll say it again:

The most provable cause of inflation is the increase in talking about expectations of inflation.

In simpler language: Once we / the media starts talking about how we should expect inflation, corporations take that as permission to raise prices.

If Blaine Higgs can do anything apart from shill for the Irving family's private interests and spit in the face of trans people, I'd be surprised.

This guy is even more transparently in the pocket of the Oil & Gas industry than former O&G lobbyist Marlaina Smith.

Need to throw this slimy con artist in jail for a while and claw back his ill-gotten profits. What an asshole.

Edit: And also fire and bar from public service whatever dumb fuck hired him.

LMFAO, easy answer - because those countries are demonstrably better than the shit hole that is the United States.

God this fuckin turd just doesn't shut up and the rest of us are forced to hear about it. Enough already.

Better hike up your bootstraps, fuckos. This is what corporate bankruptcy processes are for.
