Woke up in Canada today and you'd swear we just had an election.
Wall-to-wall U.S. midterm coverage on our news since last night.
Quick reminder for our media: that's a different country.
Ours has a federal budget dropping TOMORROW.
11 years of Liberal government, and somehow it's always Trump's fault.
Imagine if they spent half that energy on what's happening here.
Maybe we'd be headed in a better direction, eh? 🇨🇦

🇨🇦 ONTARIO CAN COLLECT SALES TAX ON THE SAME USED CAR AGAIN AND AGAIN.
Here’s a tax rule that deserves more attention.
Imagine a vehicle changes hands three times through private sales.
🚗 First resale: $30,000
🚗 Second resale: $20,000
🚗 Third resale: $12,000
At Ontario’s 13% retail sales tax rate, buyers could collectively pay:
💸 First buyer: $3,900
💸 Second buyer: $2,600
💸 Third buyer: $1,560
That’s $8,060 in sales tax across three resales of the same vehicle.
And the vehicle wasn’t manufactured three times.
It wasn’t imported three times.
It simply changed owners.
Ontario generally charges retail sales tax when you privately purchase a used vehicle, with certain exemptions.
The calculation can also depend on the vehicle’s wholesale value, not just the price you negotiated.
THE CAR DEPRECIATES. THE TAX BILL KEEPS COMING BACK.
For Canadians trying to save money by buying used instead of new, that’s an expensive surprise.
Should the same depreciating asset generate sales tax every time someone buys it?

Champagne saying how affordability is top of mind for the budget tomorrow while getting a $500.00 pair of shoes from Pajar.
11 years we’ve heard this Government claim to care about affordability, yet life has only gotten less affordable.
These are shysters of the highest order.
