any one with any sense puts their assets into a 'family trust' or transfers them over to the kids in living wills, its one of the easiest forms of taxes to avoid as it applies to all levels of society therefore is politically more sensitive.
Its a hell of a lot easier to increase taxes on companies or investment income or the like as less people are affected, where as telling everyone in Canada that they are going to get the family house taken away from them when Granny dies is political suicide.
I'm a total lefty but I would not vote for a government that prevents me from leaving my house to my kid, its completely hypocritical but its my kid, the government can go screw themselves
