Small business owners and professionals all don’t have company benefits, unemployment insurance, realtors don’t have worker’s compensation and none of the people in this sector have company pensions.

While everyone is crying about all the juicy thing that employees get and small business owners do not, let us remember that business owner enjoy MANY tax write-offs that employees do not. The tax system is heavily tilted in favour of business owners. Almost every wealthy person I know is a business owner. Please stop crying the blues.

It’s true. But business owners also have huge headaches and responsibilities that those on salary don’t have. However I’ve been wondering if making rent at least partially tax deductible wouldn’t help many people and take the pressure off the new housing.

Funny part is Trudeau says you should avoid wedge issues which drive Canadians apart. Maybe that’s why there’s a spate of punctured tires in Vancouver with a sign “eat the rich”. Good YouTube video by Andrew scheer where he proposes a new word for the Oxford dictionary “trudeauing” a combination of gaslighting and hypocrisy. We can dump him. Vote conservative
