Note that
"In Canada, 50% of the value of any capital gains are taxable. Should you sell the investments at a higher price than you paid (realized capital gain) — you'll need to add 50% of the capital gain to your income" (from Wealthsimple online)
Thus, people earning their money through wages or salaries have all their income taxable, but those who make a windfall through sale of capital, such as a second home, only pay tax on half that income.
And remember that capital gains is not money you make from selling your principal residence - that is non-taxable.
Capital gains is sale of second home or speculative property or stocks and bonds like that.
Now you just try to tell me that this is not a case of the government helping the rich while sticking it to the average worker.
