Canadian here and our new budget gets most of it’s new money from a new capital gains tax. Can you explain what they are, and surrounding context? Thanks!

Gains essentially.

In American stocks, if I buy Walmart stock for $1 and sell it for $5 that’s $4 of capital gain. And I’m taxed on it accordingly (aka most of it is gone)
