I agree, totally ! 
I was laid off in the summer of 2009 due to economical downturn and have to find my own work, so I incorporated myself. Since then I was able to find work for about 6 months in a year and what little I made have to go towards living expenses and tried to save some for retirement. Obviously that amount of saving would not go into a saving account but invested in solid dividend stocks, go figure. Now the government thinks we are rich individuals that take advantage of passive investment returns and are gouging the public coffer. It is really, really sad. They are doing this to sound noble but in fact they are looking at getting the uninformed public to vote for them next year. I am really saddened by what Canada has become.
