When people send me clips of pandas being ridiculous…I feel seen. It also makes me think we’ve shared this view for many years: I don’t express my view often about the evolutionary cul de sac that is the panda, but I’ve never wavered from it.

[BNN Bloomberg @BNNBloomberg]

On @Takingstockca this week, the IMF gives Canada’s capital gains tax plan a thumbs up. Plus, the care economy is often ignored, but it doesn’t have to be. Watch 3 p.m. @bnnbloomberg; 9 p.m. @cp24; 10:30 p.m. @ctvnewschannel & https://t.co/CLMotx9YeI

@ThoseHand I mean, sure if you want. But do you describe the GST cut as a 35% reduction? Probably not. You probably say 2%, since what is most meaningful is what we are paying. You can be technically accurate and still unclear.

[Amanda Lang @AmandaLang]

I really DIDNT want to weigh in…but here’s a source that might help (there are many others) https://t.co/HaLS3iEF6Q bottom line: before this increase no one paid more than 27%… after no one will pay more than 36%. Many people will pay less.

It’s depressing that when something as important as the capital gains tax is being debated many journalists keep reporting that the tax is moving from 50% to 66%. It’s wrong and misleading. Actual increase is more like 8%. Can we please try to be accurate as a starting point??
