There is an old joke that the difference between a tax collector and a taxidermist is that at least the taxidermist saves the hide.

The Trudeau 2.0 Liberals seem bent on making this joke a reality.

The problem for them is that nobody who has had to make his or her way in the real world and its competitive marketplace is buying and even Liberal and NDP politicians are now joining the opposition to this amateur night policy.

Unless sanity and a review of this cynical political ploy prevail, we shall see a tax policy that promotes class warfare and further divides Canadians and the government revenues from which will actually be significantly less than the cost of compliance and audits and the loss of revenue that comes with the partial destruction of the small business economy that contributes some 70% of the jobs and 50% of the GDP in this country.

This policy is an economic disaster and won't even be a political winner in the mid to long term.
