One way or the other something will be done by a future government to mitigate the tax leakage.

Why? This is a minuscule, piddling amount compared to so many other tax breaks and deductions out there.

Of course, this one can be used by regular, middle class people. Most of the others are for the rich, business and corporations. Some people fear the cost of the TFSA could rise as high as $650 million in twenty years or so. The cost of just one tax deduction for business, the scientific and research tax credit, is over $4 billion a year now. And it's a famous boondogle.

Not sure why you guys don't understand the power of compounding.

Years from now there will be media stories about the billions tucked away in TFSA's.

Someone will do the math.

If Canada is in a recession facing deficits governments will act.

Just as they always do.

If a believer demands that I, as a non-believer, observe his taboos in the public domain, he is not asking for my respect but for my submission. And that is incompatible with a secular democracy. Flemming Rose (Dutch journalist)

totally understand compounding. After paying over 40 g in taxes last year (and that's before sales tax, property tax etc.) I personally feel a wee tax break is called for.

If ppl work hard and save for their retirement, they deserve a break its not all about those on welfare or the ultra rich.

My tax guy is very good, but no cheating allowed.

it's the internet; one can say anything and claim to be whatever - there are no checks and balances to anyone wanting to live vicariously through their imaginations... just sayin!
