Prime Minister Justin Trudeau’s election campaign promise to raise taxes on Canada’s biggest banks could backfire and make home purchases less affordable, undercutting his goal of helping buyers in one of the world’s hottest markets, according to an analysis from Bloomberg Intelligence.

The liberal leader insisted that the protests, which have now become a daily occurrence in his events, will not affect his commitments when the federal election campaign enters its third week.
“I think we have to understand that people have had a difficult year, that the world is changing rapidly, that there is fear, there is anxiety,” he said. “But let me also be very, very clear: I am absolutely resolute in my conviction to continue to move Canada forward.”
Companies from real-estate investment funds to banks and telecommunications firms have been caught in the crosshairs of politicians — from all parties — with the policy debate over the past week tilting toward business taxation and regulation.
A sizable crowd of protesters attended an outdoor event for the prime minister on Friday, held in a hotel parking lot in Bolton, Ontario, 31 miles (50km) from Toronto. After a two-hour wait, however, Trudeau still hadn’t addressed supporters, and a campaign volunteer informed attendees that the event would no longer take place.
“There are more than 25 people in this fairly tight and crowded space and provincial law in Ontario currently limits indoor gatherings to 25 people. Are you breaking the spirit if not the letter of the law to hold a party event and lecture the premier of Ontario on vaccine passports?” asked a reporter.
As if Canadians all could feel the fact that Prime Minister Justin Trudeau by calling the election on September 20 was basically holding out his hand and demanding a majority in the midst of a public health situation he had previously claimed to be too dangerous to hold an election during, Canadians immediately started pushing back hard on Trudeau.
Liberal Leader Justin Trudeau today announced a billion-dollar fund to help provinces create their own vaccine passports — credentials people vaccinated against COVID-19 can show to businesses to make everyday activities safer.
The Canadian government said that “miraculous” efforts have been under way. That contrasts harshly with the reality.
Justin Trudeau is not only the most dangerous politician in Canadian history– he is also the strangest. For reasons that remain obtuse, Mr. Trudeau keeps the most curious of political bed-fellows. Some of which derive from the school of international terrorism.
Liberal Leader Justin Trudeau announced today a plan to increase guaranteed income supplement (GIS) payments by $500 a year for eligible seniors — a boost the party says would benefit more than two million people over the age of 65.
After making his remarks, the Prime Minister faced a chorus of “boos” from protestors, many of whom decried the Liberal government’s attempts to get Canadians vaccinated. “You ruin families!” one man yelled.

Liberal Leader Justin Trudeau said today a re-elected government led by him would raise the corporate taxes paid by Canada’s “largest and most profitable” financial services firms to help pay for his promised multi-billion dollar housing program.
The anger is visceral. The evidence damning. To say that things have not gone Justin Trudeau’s way thus far in the 2021 election campaign is the understatement of the year.
Campaigning in small town Ontario last week, Trudeau was served up a hot-plate of voter antagonism. Mandatory vaccine issues were the order of the day, as our ruling PM was forced into running hundred yard dashes to the safety of the campaign bus. Trudeau fared no better on a recent visit to rural British Columbia.
