Welcome to Canada

[Canada Tax Expert - I Crush Tax, And MAKE YOU RICH @KJJTax]

Tax disputes and collections in Canada are handled through legal processes established under federal and provincial law. https://t.co/eylLKzN3Rs

The Canada Revenue Agency (CRA) is responsible for administering and enforcing tax regulations across different regions of the country, including Prince Edward Island.

In cases of outstanding tax balances, the CRA may use formal procedures to resolve accounts in accordance with applicable legislation.

Understanding how tax enforcement works can help individuals and businesses stay informed and prepared. https://t.co/eylLKzN3Rs

Imagine this… a regulator, mandating outcomes on social media that they admit they have no way to measure.

True story.

Bill C-9, C-22 And C-8 Are All Interconnected: Why Aren't They Talking About This?

Bill C-9 criminalizes hate speech — it defines what you're allowed to say.

Bill C-22 forces telecoms to record everything you do online and save it for up to one year without a warrant.

Bill C-8 allows the government to cut you off the internet entirely if they consider you a threat to the network.

They would never know you're a threat without Bill C-22. They could never call you a threat without Bill C-9.

What will it take for Conservatives and Independent Media to start connecting the dots?

Why is it every time liberals claim to be doing something for "public safety", it's actually just about taking away your freedoms?

While you watched Trump's Iran breakthrough, Carney installed the woman who built Jack Smith's playbook as Canada's Governor General.
Louise Arbour championed the ICC. Soros funded it. Smith ran its successor. Now she commands Canada's military.
That's not a coincidence. ↓

🚨 BREAKING: The National Post just published Canada’s Lost Liberal Decade.

They published 13 charts and facts, that no one can deny.

Some key examples:

Canada’s GDP per capita in 2014: $51,000 USD.

Canada’s GDP per capita in 2024: $55,000 USD.

That’s 7.8% growth in TEN YEARS.

The US grew 58% in the same period.

Business investment: down 30%.

Productivity vs the US: 30% behind.

Government spending: DOUBLED

OECD growth ranking 2014-2022: 28th out of 38 nations.

OECD forecast to 2060: DEAD LAST.

And what’s left behind?

2 million Canadians at food banks.

Youth unemployment at 18%.

More debt per Canadian than ever in history.

Every dollar of growth came from immigration and borrowing, not productivity.

The economy grew.

But Canadians didn’t get richer.

We just re-elected the party that built this.

THE LOST DECADE JUST GOT A SEQUEL.

[Kirk Lubimov @KirkLubimov]

Holly! Did Jordan Peterson ever had Mark Carney pinned.

Must watch.

"His international career has collapsed in failure. So now where is he? Might as well go to Canada.
You can tell Canadians you are an outsiders and there will be some kind of economic revolution...you can do that while lying about your actual goals; which are net zero."

Absolutely nailed it.

[Jasmin Laine @JasminLaine]

The timing of my most recent interview with U.S Ambassador Pete Hoekstra… wow.

We discussed what’s really going on in these trade talks, Carney’s recent speech at Davos and the Liberal Convention, Middle Powers, Iran, and so much more.

If you aren’t already following The Jasmin Laine Show on YouTube, Rumble, Spotify and everywhere else you listen to podcasts—you might want to start.

Episode coming soon…

Thank you @usembassyottawa & @USAmbCanada for the opportunity and a deeply insightful conversation.

You know how the Ukraine war can end without the Scum Bags starting WWIII🤔? Russia cuts off fuel going to Europe (Putin has already mentioned it) and sells it to China (because they used to get it from Iran and Venezuela) and just like that, they Evil Pieces of 💩 ARE SCREWED🫨

Netherlands has now approved a 36% tax on unrealized gains…

Let that sink in.

You invest €1,000.

Year 1:
• Stock doubles to €2,000
• You didn’t sell. Didn’t cash out. Didn’t touch it.
• Government: “Congrats on the €1,000 gain. That’s €360. In cash.”
• So now you’re forced to sell shares just to pay the bill.
• Everyone else does the same.
• Selling pressure spikes.
• Stock tanks to €800.
• After tax? You’ve effectively got €440 left.

Year 2:
• Stock rebounds to €1,200
• Government: “Another €400 gain. Pay €144.”
• More forced selling.
• Price drops again.
• You’re down to €756.

Year 3:
• Stock crawls back to €1,000 — exactly where it started.
• Government: “That €100 move? We’ll take €36.”
• Capital starts leaving the country.
• Investors stop playing the game.

Total taxes paid: €540.
Total actual gain: €0.
Value left in your pocket: €460.

You lost 54%… on an investment that broke even.

The only guaranteed winner?
The government:

“Thanks for the contribution, you’re helping to make society more equitable.”

Unrealized gains tax for Gen-Z:

You buy a Pokémon card for $50.

Someone offers you $500 for it. You say no. You love that card. You're keeping it.

The government says: "Cool, but that card is worth $500 now. You owe us $100 in taxes."
You: "…I didn't sell it."

Government: "Don't care. Pay up."

You don't have $100 lying around. So you're forced to sell the card you love just to pay a tax on money you never received.

Next month? That card drops back to $50.

Your card is gone. Your money is gone. And the government shrugs.

That's a wealth tax on unrealized gains. They don't pay you back the tax...

Now picture this.

Your mom calls you crying. She has to sell the house she raised you in. Not because she can't afford it. She's lived there 30 years. It's paid off.

But some website says it's worth more now and the government says she owes $15,000 she doesn't have.

So she sells your childhood home. The kitchen where she made you breakfast. The doorframe where she marked your height every birthday.

Gone.

To pay a tax on money that was never real.

Now picture the opposite.

Your dad put everything into his small business. For 20 years he built it from nothing. One year the business is "valued" at $2 million on paper. He owes a massive tax bill. He empties his savings. Sells his truck. Borrows money. Pays it.

Next year the market crashes. His business is worth $200,000.

He lost everything to pay a tax on a number that doesn't exist anymore.

Does the government give him his money back?
No.

Does the government give him his truck back?
No.

Does the government care?
No.

They sold this idea as "taxing billionaires." But billionaires have armies of lawyers, offshore accounts, and trusts. They'll be fine.

You know who won't be fine? Your mom. Your dad. Your neighbor with a small business. The farmer down the road who's had the same land for four generations and now has to sell it because dirt got expensive.

You're not taxing wealth. You're taxing people for owning things.

It's like getting a parking ticket for a car you might drive somewhere someday.

They want you to own nothing and be happy. To fund the fraud, waste and abuse of the welfare state they created.

There is enough money. More tax isn't needed. It's all a lie. But you've been gaslit into believing this is a rich vs poor debate.

I hope you understand what's at stake.

Brilliant video by HHH.
My fellow brothers and sisters whom I love dearly.
Its time to heal the people. Not wallowing in selfpity and following grifters who dont know what theyre talking about nor what they affirm. Not repeating sillyness and liberal vote buying narratives.
We know things were not done right in the past . Stop paddling in the pool of the past. Blaming dead people. Thinking money and welfare is going to save you. That what got us here!
Rise up as a proud people. Clean up your own back yard then speak your earned wisdom!

Rise up out of the ashes ita not the white man thats the problem it stares back at you 3 feet from the mirror. And the creator is our hope. Not in silly ceremonies but in action. Healing begins with action, enough talk and looking for hand outs.
Love each other, throw out the bottles and drugs. Never look back!
Love our women and children! Respect your elders but dont allow them to keep you in the past with talk about treaties with a long dead queen or 🇨🇦 that has never treated you fairly.

Join with Albertans in freedom and separation. Perhaps renegotiate treaties not for a welfare reservation system but a partnership as equals.
And shut down the big mouths who just want to enrich themselves with canada at the expense of the people!
