The Canadian government has postponed the capital gains tax increase to January 1, 2026.

The Trudeau government had announced this tax increase in the April 2024 budget, originally set to take effect on June 25, 2024. However, it was not officially enacted by Parliament, even though the government began collecting the increased tax from the scheduled date.

People affected by this tax expressed concerns about whether they would have to continue paying the higher capital gains tax without formal legislative approval.

The bill failed to pass the House of Commons last year due to political deadlock and stalled again this year after Prime Minister Justin Trudeau prorogued Parliament. Finance Minister Dominique Leblanc, in a press release on Friday, confirmed the postponement of the increase to 2026.

He said that there could have been a much worse situation between India and Pakistan, both of them had suddenly started firing missiles and we settled everything. Earlier Trump had said that he had told both the countries that if they did not make a ceasefire, America wo

Pierre Poilievre criticizes Liberal government's decision not to present spring budget

Conservative Leader Pierre Poilievre (PWAH'-lee-ehv) has offered to help Prime Minister Mark Carney draft a federal budget. Poilievre says he wants Carney to ``steal his ideas'' as he listed off policies his party campaigned on in the recent election, such as cutting spending on consultants and foreign aid. His remarks come a day after the Liberal government announced it will not put forward a fiscal plan until after the fall economic update. Parliament returns in a couple of weeks.
