Justine is desperate, flailing, and in total freefall. His woke policies and reckless spending are destroying our country. So, his bought and paid for media attack dogs are ready to do his dirty work.

Instead of focusing on the real issues hurting our country, they would rather launch baseless attacks against Pierre Poilievre and label common sense Canadians as "far-right extremists."

They're terrified Trudeau's time in office is coming to an end. And they're terrified their meal ticket is going to be taken away.

The Canadian Medical Association asserts the Liberals' proposed changes to capital gains taxation will put doctors' retirement savings in jeopardy,

The increase in the so-called inclusion rate would apply to capital gains above $250,000 for individuals, and all capital gains realized by corporations.

Since doctors typically incorporate their medical practices and invest for retirement inside their corporations, the association points out its members will now face a higher inclusion rate on all capital gains they earn, including on retirement investments.

Trudeau is good at making promises, but terrible at delivering on them.

Trudeau was in Oakville, Ont. promoting his government's new idea to review federal land holdings "to rapidly identify sites where new homes can be built." That new promise, though, is an old one that he's made time and again since the 2015 election campaign.

Ever since he was elected, Trudeau has claimed building more homes, and affordable homes, was a top priority for his government and instead, the opposite has happened.

The average price of a home in 2015, according to the Canadian Real Estate Association, was just about $400,000. That doubled to an average price of $800,000 in early 2022 before falling back down to around $700,000 now.

Rent prices have also gone up by about 50% in that time, according to Statistics Canada.

The Trudeau government is good at announcing they will do something, but they fail on the follow-through time and again – and it's not just housing.

The dental plan with no dentists
The government has been promoting their so-called national dental plan for seniors.

"This is going to make a huge difference," Trudeau said of the program last month in Calgary.

It would make a huge difference if Trudeau could deliver, but his plan has been poorly executed with most dentists declining to take part in the program and many seniors who registered unable to find care.

On issue after issue, Trudeau fails to deliver
SAFE SUPPLY: Under the Trudeau government, certain areas of the country have either embraced or had so-called "safe supply" thrust upon them. These programs provide free drugs to addicts but too often the drugs are then sold on the street for addicts to purchase fentanyl. The resold opioid pills are creating new addicts. Despite mounting evidence of the negative impacts, the Trudeau government refuses to change course.

CRIME: The crime severity index has risen dramatically under Justin Trudeau, more worrisome is the violent crime severity index tracked by Statistics Canada, which has risen by 30% since Trudeau took office. Auto thefts, a particular scourge in the Toronto area, have risen by as much as 500% over the last several years with no tangible response from the government.

MIDDLE CLASS: Trudeau was elected promising to work for "the middle class and those working hard to join it." Trudeau even had a minister for "middle-class prosperity." He's not only gotten rid of that ministry, he's working hard to get rid of the middle class as home ownership becomes a pipe dream, wages stagnate and productivity tumbles.

HOUSING: Trudeau has promised to build 3.9 million homes over the next seven years to solve the housing crisis. This amounts to 552,857 new homes per year, or more than double what the country is currently building annually. It amounts to a new home every two minutes for seven years straight. Perhaps Trudeau will build the homes among the two billion trees he promised to plant but never delivered on?

IMMIGRATION: The Trudeau government has somehow done the unthinkable and killed off the Canadian consensus on immigration. They not only ramped up the annual intake for permanent residents from around 275,000 per year to 500,000 per year, they have also dramatically increased the number of temporary residents – foreign workers and international students – to more than 900,000 in a year. In a nine-month period, Canada added more than one million people to its population. Trudeau said recently that we are bringing in more people than we can absorb, but he isn't slowing down the rapid intake of newcomers, which is impacting housing, health-care access and other features.

FOREIGN RELATIONS: Trudeau was elected with a slogan of "Canada is back" even though we never left the international stage under the Harper years. Nearly nine years later, we have strained relations with growing economic powerhouses like India and China and we have a diminished presence and stature in Washington. Our allies in NATO and other organizations don't take Canada seriously like they used to and our voice has been reduced to a whisper.

Justine calls his Liberal Party a movement and that movement is centered around him. Well, seventy percent of Canadians want the movement centered around him gone.

In two of the latest polls, including one for the proggy Toronto Star, Justine was at 23 percent and the Conservatives at 44 percent. How the hell does Jagmeet Singh sleep at night propping up the Justine movement that most of us want gone.

I saw this in an online newspaper.

QuoteAfter 9 years of Justin Trudeau, Canadians are looking around and seeing the results of his extremist policies.

Crime and drug use are rampant in our hospitals, playgrounds, parks, and public transit.

Inflation has been out of control, causing gas, groceries, and home heating to become unaffordable.

Owning a home is now next to impossible for two generations of Canadians.

And high taxes are causing our economy to enter a death spiral.

After 9 years, Canada is a far cry from the country that we all knew and loved.

Violent crime, drugs, and chaos are rampant in our streets. Life is becoming unaffordable. Owning a home is next to impossible for young Canadians. Unsustainable immigration levels are placing a burden on health care, education, and infrastructure. And carbon taxes are only going up.

Justine is getting frickin desperate. This heavy egress tax is coming.

If Shen and her old man both have to pay it, they will have to pay Justine fifty grand.

People simply have to cheat the government out of the taxes. Its just a fact. Sure, you're doing something illegal and many people feel bad for breaking the law but these days, breaking the law is a virtue.

I suspected you might post the same misinformation in this thread.

If you leave Canada pernmanently, you must file a final departure tax return. On that day, you will cease to be a resident of Canada and will be deemed to have disposed of all your non-registered investment assets at their fair market value. This is known as a deemed disposition, and you will have to report the capital gains or losses that result from it.

RRSPs, tax free savings accounts (TFSAs), registered education savings plans (RESPs) and your principal residence are not subject to this deemed disposition.

When you leave Canada, the CRA treats certain types of property (such as shares) as if you had sold them at fair market value and reacquired them at the same price. This is called a deemed disposition, and you may have to report that property on your final tax return on leaving the country, if there has been a capital gain (and if it is in an unregistered account). This is also known as departure tax.

If you maintain ties with Canada, such as property, driver's license/vehicle, professional associations, provincial health care, memberships on boards, etc, you are not devering ties and are not subject to the final capital gains tax. But, tnere is no twenty five thousand dollar punitive egress head tax.

Is this clear as mud for you?

I hope you are right and Herman's info is wrong. We still plan on getting out of Canada.

I get why so many people want to emigrate from Canada. But, Herman's info is fake news.

Trudeau wanted to bring in one thousand Palestinians as refugees. Singh and the NDP want to increase that number to five thousand and get them here like tomorrow with few if any questions asked.

Gaza's closest neighbours, including Egypt, aren't accepting those fleeing the war-torn region. Canadians should ask why.

Hamas could end the bombing by returning the hostages. Let's not forget it was ordinary Palestinians who cheered as bloodied hostages were paraded through the streets of Gaza.

Trudeau has placed Canada in a conundrum usually faced by developing nations. Trudeau's entire term in office has been to make Canada less free and less prosperous.

Problems With Trudeau's Immigration Policy Increasingly Undeniable

When even bank economists are calling for immigration restriction, you know something is seriously wrong with Canada's immigration policy.

Published on January 15th, a new special report by National Bank of Canada economists Stéfane Marion and Alexandra Ducharme argues that the country now finds itself in a "population trap".

A population trap occurs when a country's population is growing so fast that the ratio of capital (wealth) to labour (workers) remains the same or declines.

In this scenario, companies inundated with cheap labour spend less on improving worker productivity – say, by purchasing or upgrading machinery.

In a population trap, any increase in the average living standard is impossible.

You probably have never heard of this odd scenario, because population traps usually only occur in emerging economies like India or Sub-Saharan Africa.

The report explains that Trudeau's open-door immigration policy, which has intensified in the last couple of years, is to blame.

The figures are staggering.

Canada's population grew by 825,000 in 2022, and then more than 1.2 million in 2023.

In order to find another time that Canada's population grew by more than 600,000 in one year, you have to go back to 1949 – and that's only because Newfoundland joined Confederation!

In percentage terms, our population grew by 3.2% in 2023 – five times higher than the OECD average of 0.6%.

This growth was not limited to Toronto, Vancouver, and Montreal: all ten provinces grew more than twice as fast as the OECD average.

The highest growth rates, in percentage terms, were Alberta (4.3%) and Prince Edward Island (4%).

The report goes on to argue that, in addition to preventing an increase in living standards, large-scale immigration is fuelling the housing crisis.

The authors explain that the housing supply deficit is at a record low: there is now just one housing start for every 4.2 people entering the working-age population.

In order to meet demand, and reduce inflation in the cost of housing, Canada would need to reach a jaw-dropping 700,000 housing starts per year.

To limit the strain on Canada's housing infrastructure, and to help us escape our current population trap, the authors call for a dramatic cut in immigration numbers.

Specifically, they suggest that annual population growth should not exceed 300,000 to 500,000 – a far cry from the current annual growth rate of 1.2 million.

The immigration file is now a rare instance where economists and the Canadian public are of one accord: cool the jets on population growth!

In an Abacus poll released in November, a remarkable 67% of Canadians said that Trudeau's immigration target is too high.

Strikingly, majorities among both native-born Canadians (68%) and foreign-born Canadians (62%) thought so.

Furthermore, majorities of Conservative voters (82%), NDP voters (63%), Liberal voters (61%), and Bloc voters (80%) said there was too much immigration.

There are not many issues in Canada which can unify National Bank economists, the wider public, Conservatives, first-generation immigrants, Bloc voters, the Liberals and the NDP.

It seems like there's only one demographic left that thinks our immigration system is working just fine: the political class.

Are they listening?
