    The capital gains exemption is that you only pay tax on 50% as income.

    So if I make $100k, I pay taxes on $50k, at my marginal tax rate (max of 53% in Ontario, so the effective tax rate on capital gains is at most 26.5%). If I work 9-5 and I make $100k, I’m taxed on the whole thing.

    Plus if you lose money you can apply it 3 years back to get taxes back.
