The next day, after his final news conference of the campaign, Carney stopped by a cafe in Newmarket. There, he was approached by a woman who said she was a realtor, and who urged him to get rid of the Liberals’ increase to the capital gains tax. It was causing investors a lot of problems, she told him.

“I got rid of it. I know it was a dumb idea. As soon as they did, I was like, ‘This is a stupid idea,’” Carney told her. “And I’m sorry about that, but I wasn’t there so I couldn’t prevent it. But now I can.”

There was so much fear mongering about that tax.

For a tax that barely affected the income of people who were already very, very rich, they sure did bitch about about it.
