On false tax freedomsThe past few Canadian election cycles have seen plenty of discussion of the realities of tax-free savings accounts. And for the most part, their critics have been proven right: a scheme pitched at enabling savings by lower-income individuals has instead served mostly as a means of redirecting more free money to the already-rich.

As Nick Falvo notes in his brief comment, there's an obvious danger t... read more
