Yeah unless you already hold the investment in a TFSA (sounds like you don't ), and it's not a principle residence, you are out of luck. You will pay tax in half of the complete gains.
You could write capital losses off against the gain, and can carry those back for 3 years or forward indefinitely. If you have those or think you do then probably send Locke a PM and hire him or another accountant for your 2015 tax return.
