US AND CANADIANS INVESTORS HIT BY THE COLLAPSE OF INCOME TRUSTS IN
CANADA.
When the Conservatives promised not to change taxation on Income
Trusts during the last election (Prime Minister Stephen Harper said
his party would never attack income trusts because he realized they
provided crucial income to so many seniors -Jan 2006), many investors
believed them and invested further in these assets. Mr Harper broke
his promise (oct. 31) and caused a great deal of financial damage to
investors.
Canadians and US investors LOST 30 BILLIONS OF DOLLARS on the stock
market, since the announcement. Now, they feel duped and cheated.
The minister of Finance, Jim Flaherty, insisted he simply had to stop
the erosion of Canada's corporate tax base. What a lame excuse. He
could very easily have accomplished that goal in a different way. He
could have allowed existing income trusts to stay the way they were
while disallowing any new conversions.
[Dec08'06]: Two new studies, one from BMO Nesbitt Burns and another
from PriceWaterhouseCoopers have shown the inherent flaws and
misinformation on which the Department of Finance has based its
decision to tax trust distributions and to "say no" to the "Income
Trust Economy".
All citizens and Seniors especially have a right to a decent income.
DON'T ENCOURAGE THIS BETRAYAL! Support both US and Canadian investors
(and seniors citizens).
