We need to be doing everything we can to turn Canada into the best place for entrepreneurs to build 🇨🇦 What's proposed in the federal budget will do the complete opposite. Innovators and entrepreneurs will suffer and their success will be penalized -- this is not a wealth tax, it's a tax on innovation and risk taking. Our policy failures are America's gains.

Please start listening to the people in the arena.
