(The 🍓🍓🍓🤣 at the end)…
Karen earns $995 today.
Before she sees a penny, roughly $533 disappears in marginal federal and provincial income tax.
She fills her tank. Another $15.75 in fuel taxes and HST.
She buys a pack of cigarettes. About $10 goes to taxes.
A $20 bottle of wine to take the edge off? Another $3+ in taxes and levies.
Dinner? $3.90 in HST.
Every single month she quietly pays HST on her phone, internet and streaming services. She pays $6,000 a year in property tax just to continue living in a home she already bought with after-tax income. Part of every insurance premium is insurance premium tax. Hidden in almost everything she buys are corporate taxes, commercial property taxes, development charges, licensing fees and tariffs that businesses simply pass along in the price.
She books a vacation. Airport Improvement Fees. Security charges. More taxes.
She invests what’s left. If it grows, she pays capital gains tax. If it pays dividends, she pays dividend tax.
Then one day Karen dies.
Her family discovers there isn’t technically a “death tax” in Canada—but her estate is treated as though she sold almost everything the moment she died. Capital gains become taxable, final income tax is due, and in Ontario her estate pays probate fees before her family receives what’s left.
Karen’s money was taxed when she earned it, taxed while she spent it, taxed while she invested it, taxed while she owned things, and taxed one final time when she died.
But don’t worry.
Karen refuses to buy American strawberries because she’s bravely protesting the tariffs the U.S. charges on their imports.
After paying roughly $687 in taxes and government fees on a $995 workday, she’s finally taking a stand against someone else’s tax policy. 🇨🇦💪
Can we just drop the partisanship for once and just admit, even if you’re a liberal, it doesn’t mean you HAVE to have morally and legitimately corrupt people as the leader of your party.

As you can see from this footage days ago, the "Evil Russians" are bombing civilians so badly they are forced to drink Champagne here in Odessa.
Send more cash urgently.
ENOUGH. 🚨
Developers took the profits on the way up.
Now Mark Carney wants taxpayers to absorb the losses on the way down?
That's not a free market.
That's privatized profits and socialized losses.
If condos aren't selling, cut the price.
Don't send the bill to working Canadians.
The Carney Condo Bailout Fucktastrophe! I Won't Leave This One Alone: It's Just Too WRONG
