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.

81% favour higher taxes on wealthier Canadians and large profitable corporations. 71% of CPC voters.

I'm having trouble finding out... was a ceasefire called, or not?
