“imagine being taxed because your mom died!”

Imagine being taxed because you sold your mom's house, months or years after she died.

What next? Eliminating property tax because the property was once owned by someone who has since died?

Imagine making 400k in gains and complaining about paying an extra 20k.

People complaining can get fucked. I

Good!

Sounds like it might even have a small impact on housing supply.

I saw some middle class people crying because for their retreat they are selling their plex 1 million and will only have 972'000$ because of the new tax and their retreat is fucked up and their world is crumbling...

This will likely do more for housing affordability then the rather large list recently released of housing items plus the billions the Liberals plan to spend.

Hopefully more people will realize we should fix the things fundamentally wrong with housing instead trying to buy our way out of a broken system.

This has a "election reform" feeling about it: something the LPC is talking about in order to get progressive cred, but that they don't really want to do and will either a) abandon if they're elected or b) not have to do if they lose.

They could have raised capital gains in 2016.
