Income Tax, Capital gains tax, Municipal Tax, Dividend Tax, CPP (Tax), EI (Tax), Government Sales Tax, Carbon Tax...now let's add an inheritance tax, I'm not sure we had enough already.
Now let me contradict myself slightly when I say we should have a foreign buyers tax. It's insane what's happened in Toronto and Vancouver and if the real estate board of Toronto is correct in saying that only a small minority of property buyers are foreign then a tax on them shouldn't make a difference. Lots of other countries, most notably Australia with Sydney, do the same thing and I think it's a good measure to protect the domestic housing market
