Over a 10 year period 80% of taxpayers NEVER generate a capital gain ever. Of 20% who do, avg is $5,200. And number who would actually hit $250,000 for cap gains alone would be about 1-2% (of the 20%). This doesn’t cover corps but you get a very clear sense — impact is narrow.

I would like to share an important family decision: I’ve informed the Prime Minister of my decision to not seek re-election in 2019. As such, I’ve decided to step down from my role as President of the Treasury Board and will work with the PM to ensure a smooth transition.

Facts are facts. Researchers to release new book showing @JustinTrudeau fulfilled 92% of promises in full or in part. Highest % of any govt in 35yrs. Better is always possible and there’s more to do. But let’s keep moving forward. #cdnpoli #realchange

One last thing I’ll say @cmckenney . There’s a lot of people, young and old, who struggle figuring out who they are. As a kid I & many others went through that. Role models who inspire mean a lot. You didn’t break a glass ceiling. But you made it possible to even try. You rock.

FACT CHECK @erinotoole just said he has a $3B fund for long-term care. That’s 100% false. There’s $3 billion from #Budget2021 thanks to @cafreeland and @JustinTrudeau . Which all @CPC_HQ MP voted ❌. And there’s no new money for any new fund in their costing. #elxn44 #cdnpoli

This criticism of @JustinTrudeau ’s middle class tax plan didn’t age so well. Confirmed now: — 278,000 kids out of poverty — Lower taxes for middle class had bigger impact on job growth — Paid for by higher tax on the 1% — 1,043,000 new jobs #cdnpoli

Literally every dollar of Canada’s carbon pricing system is returned to the jurisdiction in which it is raised. There is no “shifting wealth from the West to the East”. But I wouldn’t expect you to get pesky details like that right. #cdnpoli

If Ottawa truly cared about the environment, and Canada, it would advocate for an international cap-and-trade system, not a carbon tax policy. All we have is an institutionalized cash grab, shifting wealth from the West to the East, from the rich to the poor. That's it.

I enjoy your takes, Paul. But to say “govts should have found other ways to end it” is hugely disingenuous. It wasn’t used on day 1. Or even day 10. It was used 22 days after traffic was first slowed in Windsor and after the convoy began. It was the last option. 1/n #cdnpoli

Lots of folks in Ottawa are unhappy with Federal Court ruling on EA - and my comments agreeing. But the Court clearly finds the Convoy form of protest was illegitimate, unacceptable and caused harm. Point is govts should have found other way to end it.
