More robust inheritance taxes are probably necessary to slow Canada's acceleration into a class society. More and more of a person's station in life in determined by the advantages and money they inherit from their parents. In another 20 years, Canada will be a lot more like the U.S.
Of course it's politically untenable, so it won't happen.
