Full rather than half tax on stock option won't raise much money because the employer will get a deduction that is not currently available. It would establish neutrality with other forms of compensation so makes sense from an tax policy perspective.
Replying to @Justin_Ling
Ottawa will "work to limit the stock option deduction for wealthy individuals at large, established corporations, and addressing corporate tax avoidance by digital giants." Let's see what that looks like.

Competition from Airbnb might have helped reduce hotel prices in 2018 and 2019. A further drop in hotel prices might be expected recently because of lower demand due to the COVID-19 travel restrictions. But the 25% fall since 2019 is astounding. #cdnecon
