This only demonstrates our governments have run out of revenue and are squeezing every drop of blood out of the tax payer.

Absolutely spot on — the moment governments start targeting unrealized gains, we’re no longer talking about taxation on wealth, but on the potential of wealth. It’s pure financial fiction turned policy, and it turns every citizen into a debtor to the state based on paper values.

Canada’s capital flight example is crucial. Capital is like water, it always finds the path of least resistance. When governments become hostile to capital, they don’t just lose investment, they lose the future.

What you said is exactly the point I was trying to underline in the blog: our governments aren’t governing anymore, they’re extracting, desperate to fund their bloated, unsustainable structures. And when that runs dry, they come for us.

Thanks for sharing the Canadian perspective. It's a chilling warning for the rest of us.
