How tax policy could help reverse Canada’s brain drain to the U.S.

from Hub Podcasts

Krista Rabidoux, managing director at Andersen in Canada, explains how tax policy shapes the flow of talent and capital between Canada and the United States. In this episode of Alberta Edge, she outlines why lower thresholds for high incomes, tighter reinvestment rules, and fewer tax-free gains in Canada can create a “hoarding” mentality and limit entrepreneurs’ ability to scale. Yet in a moment of political volatility, Rabidoux argues Canada’s greatest advantage may be its predictability—and that, with a few targeted changes, it could help reverse the outflow.This podcast is generously supported by Don Archibald.
