Imagine being such an asshat you send a cease and desist to a woman making a joke about your lack of diversity fucking yikes

My god

private equity prefers US sports leagues because of socialistic structure. European soccer too meritocratic:

No one is really leaving Canada cause in the end they won’t want to realize the multimillion dollar gain on their cottage or chalet

To the family cottage, capital gains crowd. It's not fucking rocket science. It's a thoughtful estate planning & long-term tax plan. Capital gains are not new. If you are screwed at 66%, just as screwed at 50% inclusion

I cannot believe I never had poblano liqueur before

Repression of protests in a dictatorship works - repression of protests in a democracy usually backfires

The inclusion rate for capital gains was 75% for the decade of the 1990s

It’s funny when folks spend a lot of time reminding folks of their democratic rights and democracies but then push for folks they don’t agree with to not have the right to assemble

having worked for a megabank and working with some of the biggest custodians, asset managers, and software vendors, you realize everything is held together with duct tape and zip ties.

Mission-critical systems are robust but everything else is barely keeping it together

Folks blaming people not saving are ignoring companies not paying folks a liveable wage which includes retirement

A math department at a major university in the US is now offering a semester long course on “game theory”.

Yes, you read that right.

Games. The things tiny children play.

The dumbing down of America continues…

Most Canadian startups have to go to the US to raise rounds not cause we don’t have money here or our taxes are too much but cause our industry is generally a bunch of dinosaurs who follow the herd and don’t try new things

Almost half of Canadians retire on CPP & OAS only - not on their investments or pensions

It is amazing how many folks want to stop the capital gains exemption increase for Canadian small business owners

I see very little applause over the increased capital gains exemptions for small business owners who already had a pretty good limit

It will be interesting to see if Canadians use more US listed ETFs for tax planning given the capital gains announcements today

Tax takes are generally worse than geopolitical takes
