Article content

In the wake of Tuesday’s federal budget, Prime Minister Justin Trudeau took aim at Pierre Poilievre in a campaign-style attack saying the Conservative leader wants to protect the wealthy from tax increases.

The budget includes billions in new spending and continues high deficits through the next five years, which Poilievre described as “wasteful” and said the growing debt was taking money away from Canadians’ real priorities.

The budget also included a capital gains tax increase. The increase applies to profit from selling stock or secondary homes. The income is normally taxed at 50 per cent of its value but the change introduced Tuesday will levy taxes on 66.7 per cent of the profit for gains over $250,000 for individuals, trusts and corporations.

The Liberals say they are “asking the wealthiest Canadians to pay their fair share” by increasing the taxes on profits from capital gains, as they aim to pay for their billions in new expenses.

NDP Leader Jagmeet Singh had asked the Liberals to present measures to make big corporations pay their “fair share” but said he was dissatisfied with what was in the budget.
