A limit to the principal residence exemption to $500,000.
And a limit to how high your RRSP and TFSA can grow while remaining tax free.

Gotta redistribute that income!

I wonder how much it will cost to design this budget cover.

It warms my heart that this government spends my money so wisely.

Double the carbon tax, that and pot tax will be used to benefit those who don't live and work in this great country.

What else is new?

They only do that in an election year. The next election is for 2019, so expect tax goodies next year.

Have a nice day!

Typical government spending: pick a number that sounds reasonable and add two to three extra zeros at the end.
