They called it a millionaire tax.
It starts at $190,405.
That's not a millionaire.
That's a surgeon. An engineer. The founder hiring your kids.
Every province wants these people.
Alberta wants them. Texas wants them. Ontario wants them.
BC's offer: come here, succeed, and we'll take more.
Victoria could be the best place in Canada to build a career.
Ocean, talent, a university, a tech sector.
Instead we're sending the bill to the people we should be recruiting.
Reward success. Don't punish it.
Framing this as a “millionaire tax” is deliberately misleading.
The tax increases start at $190K…
These are high skilled professionals, doctors, entrepreneurs and executives. The exact people BC should be fighting to attract and retain.
Instead Eby’s message is “succeed here and we’ll take more from you.”
