Canada Can Learn About Tax From Estonia? - Episode 18

In the Mood With Kim G C Moody

In this episode, Kim follows up from a July 30, 2024 article that he wrote about in the Financial Post that discusses a taxation model that Canada should consider implementing based upon what the small country of Estonia has done with great success. Kim opens up the podcast by quickly reviewing ten poorly thought-out taxation policies implemented by Canada in the last 9 years that needs to dismissed in favor of bold change like that boldly implemented by Estonia. As the eminent economist, Jack Mintz, wrote about in a 2022 paper of his, Canada should implement such a model in order to implement a “big bang” tax reform that would help invigorate Canada’s economy, encourage entrepreneurship and reward success…..something that Canada desperately needs to do to improve its productivity challenges.
