The problem with capital gains on a principal residence, Mommy offshore buys junior a house in "pick a city" for student housing, he goes to school for 4-5yrs , they put the house in juniors name because they can, he finishes school and they sell the house for 2-300k extra and junior gets a nice start in life. Possibly not fair, but its legal
Middle age Fred that has lived here forever and thought his house was an RRSP gets screwed if a tax comes in.
Friend here has sold his Oakville house, pocketed the gains , is moving into his cottage tills covid clears , declare that principal residence , pocket the gains when he sells next yr and he starts construction on a new cottage on a lot he owns and it will be his 'principal residence'
Money always makes money
