Simply put, our laws and the people who make them haven’t just failed to stop tax abuse, they’ve actively encouraged it. In the early 2010s, the Harper government signed tax agreements with the Bahamas, Bermuda, the British Virgin Islands, the Cayman Islands and Hong Kong. Those five agreements alone led to more than $47-billion in assets being drained from Canada and shifted to tax havens in the five years after.
You had to know that prick would be in on it.

Should make a Lemmy bot to do this automatically, lol.

His predecessor made one tiny change to try to claw back a little from the wealthiest and it was so unpopular that both the Liberals and CPC campaigned to scrap it. More complicated tax reform? good luck.
