In this episode, Kim G C Moody uses the famous song by the classic rock band - The WHO, “Don’t Get Fooled Again” - to discuss how taxation policy gets introduced in Canada by providing an update on the capital gains inclusion rate proposals (they are dead) and then discussing how current politics in Canada will affect the proposed solution to such issues….we need tax reform which has been proposed by The Conservative Party of Canada. Tax reform would also be helpful given the challenges Canada is facing with U.S. tariffs. The new leader of the Liberal Party is a tax and spend “leader” who does not appear interested in tax reform. Not surprising. As the famous line in Don't Get Fooled Again says "Meet the new boss, same as the old boss". Buckle up for a no nonsense episode.

In this episode, Kim spends some time describing some recent experiences of how poor the average Canadian’s knowledge is about finances.

He goes further to explain why it’s important for Canadians to take this seriously (his mission for 2025 is to continue planting acorns in this area) and how that relates to the current political environment in Canada, especially with external forces like a new U.S. regime threatening to negatively impact Canada’s economy.

Kim wraps up the episode by reminding people to try not to get too stressed about things they can’t control but instead simply improve their financial literacy.

Happy listening!
