Canada's planned capital gains tax hike may choke mining startups, dealmakers say
reuters.com/markets/commodities/canadas-planned-capital-gains-tax-hike-may-choke-mining-startups-dealmakers-say-2024-04-22/
Quick Glance: Canada's Proposed Capital Gains Tax Hike May Impact Mining Start-ups
- Canada's Prime Minister Justin Trudeau and Finance Minister Chrystia Freeland hold the 2024-25 budget, surrounded by members of Parliament on the hill of Ottawa. Canada's planned capital gains tax hike could deter investments in mineral exploration, according to the country's leading stock exchange operators and dealers.
- Prime Minister Justin Trudeau's government proposes increasing the share of capital gains subject to taxation to two-thirds for individuals with annual investment profits of over C$250,000 ($181,752), companies, and trusts to raise revenue for public programs. The measure will be effective on June 25 and could undergo amendments.
- Mining, oil, and gas exploration companies on the TSX Venture Exchange have raised funds by issuing flow-through shares, which account for 65% of all funds raised by exploration mining companies on Canadian exchanges. Canada's exploration companies have only raised C$240 million in March, down by 79% from a year ago.
- Industry lobby groups hope the government will provide an exemption for flow-through share investors, as failure to do so could jeopardize over 70% of all resource explorations in Canada. The proposed measure is feared to potentially signal the end of many mineral explorations in Canada.

Quick Glance: GOP's Financial Woes Resolved?
- After positive fundraising headlines for Donald Trump and the Republican National Committee (RNC), it seems the campaign is back on track, but the expenses for success were immense.
- While the Trump-RNC Joint Fundraising Committee, 'Trump 47 Victory', raised millions of dollars, only a fraction of it went towards political activities, exacerbating the financial crisis of the RNC.
- In comparison, the Biden-DNC committee, 'Biden Victory', was able to more effectively redirect funds and financially support Democratic parties in the states.
- A decision by the Federal Election Commission allowed the RNC to use funds from their 'legal' account for campaign advertising, temporarily easing the party's financial crisis but with long-term implications for both parties.

nbcnews.com/politics/congress/china-funding-us-fentanyl-crisis-house-panel-says-new-report-rcna147952
Quick Glance: China's Subsidization of Fentanyl Production Intensifying Crisis in the U.S.
- A report from a special House committee states that China is fueling the Fentanyl crisis in the U.S. directly by subsidizing the manufacturing of materials used by traffickers outside the country to produce the drug.
- The committee found that the Chinese government provides tax rebates for the production of specific Fentanyl precursors and other synthetic drugs as long as they are sold outside of China.
- The report highlights that China not only subsidizes the manufacturing of precursor chemicals but also thwarts investigations into illegal manufacturers by warning the targets when formal requests for assistance are made by U.S. law enforcement.
- Former Attorney General William Barr recommended that the U.S. should leverage its trade and economic power to push for stronger enforcement from Chinese authorities, and victims should take civil actions against companies and individuals involved in distributing the precursors and synthetic drugs.
