The real irony here is that the villa is owned by a
company he incorporated for tax purposes....seems to be exactly the same kind of business loophole tax dodge he’s be vilifying here at home (apparently he had in fact disclosed the villa but overlooked the company. So it’s more like “woops im so rich I forgot about the company I own in France”).
Add to this his refusal to put his assets in blind trust. Time to put Bill on double secret probation. If the Libs had to roll a head to get their lefty credentials back, he seems like a good candidate for the guillotine.
Meanwhile after a summer of bashing the Lib’s attempts to close these same kind of business loopholes here in Canada as attacks on the middle class, Conservative Kent says something quite the opposite:
$1:
“Most Canadians can't afford the kind of high-priced financial advisers who would counsel them to own a villa in France through a company rather than directly, Kent added.
"Only the wealthiest have reason to engage expensive tax advisers to protect their wealth," Kent said.
Hmmm you don’t say, Pete. Tell me more!
