In our latest for The Breach, Jared and I do a deep dive on how continued tax haven abuse is not just despite our government policy - it's because of our government policy.
Canada loses an astonishing $15 billion every year to tax havens.
Jared Walker & @silasxuereb.bsky.social argue that this money could fund public services, but successive governments have let corporations shift profits offshore—while regular Canadians pay the price.

The use of tax havens is not just due to a few bad apples. We found that over three quarters of S&P/TSX 60 firms have at least one subsidiary in a tax haven, and the real number is likely even higher. Through differences in foreign tax rates, these firms avoided $7B in taxes in 2024.
