Poilievre proposes new TFSA contributions up to $5K per year

After a preamble on Trump, Poilievre is pitching a new part of his “Bring It Home Tax Cut,” a proposal to allow Canadians to contribute $5,000 more a year to their tax-free savings account (TFSA) as long as that extra cash is invested in Canadian companies. He says it’s a way to keep more investment in Canada.

Poilievre says he brought his investments “home after Trump began threatening the country” and invited Carney to do the same.

Carney’s investments, other than cash and real estate, are now in a blind trust. One expert told CBC it’s a “best possible,” though not perfect, tool to avoid conflicts of interest.

Poilievre took aim at that blind trust, as Carney’s been called on to provide more information about his assets.

“It’s not blind to him,” Poilievre said. “He knows exactly what’s in it. It’s just blind to everyone else.”
