Premised on “reasonable men”; never stress-tested, and now found wanting.

Once in business school, with the case study method, part of your grade was based on participation in class discussions. Hard to participate if not attending. Plus, true to a business / professional environment, you were expected to call the department office if you were going to be absent. 2/2

I attended lectures and tutorials - after all, if you’re paying tuition, why not get your money’s worth? - and was often surprised come exam time how many students were actually enrolled in the class.
Some faculty would provide a bit of a reward with hints about what “might” be on the exam. 1/2

Indeed.
I mean, back in the day I thought there was something of a resemblance 😉

Once upon a time, in a land far, far away:

<In March 2018, before becoming premier, Ford said there’s “billions of dollars being wasted” by the then-Liberal government, and when he gets in office, the “party is over with the taxpayers’ money.”> 🤨

Really? Then that’s on you. 🤷🏻‍♂️

The video clip from CPAC is from the Liberal Party’s National Convention, of which Prime Minister Carney’s was the closing address.

Will real estate need to be appraised annually? What if market values crash and an individual’s “net wealth” falls below a threshold? Is prior taxation credited back?
How does this jive with existing deemed disposition capital gains tax on death or transfer?

It being a wealth tax, it would be based on “net wealth” (however defined) and not “earnings”.
How a government would define “net wealth” is an open (and potentially controversial) question. Based on historical book value? Market value? How is market value determined for owner/operator businesses?

To be clear (because I’ve seen this among other posts), it being a wealth tax, it is based on “net wealth” starting above $10 million (wealth being generally accumulated over time, but also possibly inherited) whereas earnings (which you wrote) is income, presumably in a single year.

And that’s not all…😏

In 2017 I read historian Donald Creighton’s “The Road to Confederation” in homage to the 150th anniversary of Confederation and one of the things that struck me from his description of events was how much “socializing” took place at every turn! It’s amazing they actually got anything done!

Time for new staff then?

And frankly she owes you a 10% discount for February. Calling that a “month” is just cruel.

The way it should be frankly with lesser royals.

I see what you did there 👌
