Introduce a permanent 15% Excess Profit Tax on large corporations, including banks, grocery chains, and fossil fuel companies

Implement a progressive wealth tax on net wealth above $10M

Apply a net wealth-based exit tax of 35% on assets over $10M for individuals renouncing Canadian tax residency

"Strengthen Canada’s exit tax to prevent the ultra-wealthy from avoiding taxes by moving assets abroad. We will apply a net wealth-based exit tax of 35% on assets over $10 million for individuals renouncing Canadian tax residency, ensuring those who have benefited the most from Canada’s economy must contribute significantly before leaving. Loopholes that allow tax avoidance through corporate structures and exempt assets will also be closed." — Change: Vote For It, retrieved 2025-04-25

Apply a progressive tax only to profits over $10M, and limit the ability to deduct past investment losses to a maximum of 10 years

Revise the Select Luxury Items Tax to remove loopholes, increase tax rates on private jets and super-yachts, and exempt Canadian-made vessels

"Revise Canada’s Select Luxury Items Tax Act to eliminate the “lesser of” rule and apply a flat luxury tax rate (e.g., 10% or higher on the full purchase price).

» Increase the tax rates for extreme wealth purchases (e.g., higher rates for private jets and superyachts.)

» Close corporate loopholes that allow businesses to buy these assets to avoid the Select Luxury Items Tax.

» Exempt Canadian-made commercial and recreational vessels from the Select Luxury Items Tax, to support small manufacturers and coastal industries."

Review and phase out corporate subsidies that don't deliver proven economic, environmental, or social benefits

"Review and phase out corporate subsidies that fail to deliver proven economic, environmental, or social benefits, with priority given to eliminating subsidies that:

» Distort markets without improving public well-being.

» Contribute to corporate concentration of key industries.

» Benefit large corporations disproportionately over small businesses and workers.

» Are provided to corporations with majority foreign ownership, particularly U.S.-based firms, undermining Canadian economic sovereignty.

» Fail to pass a cost-benefit analysis."

Change: Vote For It, retrieved 2025-04-25

Biography

from their website

Je suis Dylan Perceval-Maxwell, un écologiste engagé et dévoué. J’ai passé toute ma vie à agir pour ralentir le changement climatique et ses effets négatifs et croissants sur notre planète et tous les êtres vivants qui y vivent. Mon objectif est d’encourager un mode de vie plus simple tout en réduisant la quantité de CO2 dans l’atmosphère grâce au biochar. Mon slogan préféré est « Boycottez tout ! »

Voici quelques faits saillants de ma carrière verte :
1985 : J’ai commencé à faire du bénévolat pour le Parti vert et, suite à cela, j’ai étudié la variabilité du climat à McGill.

J’ai ouvert la première boutique au Québec dédiée à la vente de vêtements et d’aliments en chanvre (actuellement Utopia, au 159 Duluth) et j’ai été le premier à vendre des aliments à base de chanvre en Europe.

Première voiture au Canada : J’ai eu la première voiture au Canada à rouler entièrement à l’huile végétale usagée.

Projet pilote de biodiesel : J’ai lancé le premier projet pilote de biodiesel au Canada, en coordination avec la société d’autobus publics de Montréal. Ce projet a permis de réduire de 265 000 tonnes les émissions de CO2 dans l’atmosphère, un chiffre qui continue de croître avec le temps. À ce jour, les biocarburants représentent 6,23 % du diesel au Canada.

Enseignant et promoteur du biochar : Depuis 2010, j’enseigne les avantages du biochar et je distribue des fourneaux qui séquestrent le carbone dans des régions reculées de Chine, du Vietnam, de Thaïlande et d’Afrique.

Création d’une plateforme unique : J’ai créé une plateforme qui soutient les personnes qui enfouissent du biochar dans leur sol pour améliorer les rendements agricoles tout en séquestrant le carbone de manière sécurisée. C’est une action de résilience climatique pour les plus vulnérables de la planète ! (Voir www.carbonface.org)

Candidat GPC : J’ai été 5 fois candidat pour le Parti vert du Canada dans la circonscription de Laurier-Sainte-Marie. Voici mes résultats :

– 2,4 % en 1997
– 4,88 % en 2000 (j’ai terminé troisième, un record dans l’histoire du parti)
– 6,09 % en 2004
– 8,3 % en 2006
– 7,92 % en 2008

Documentaire : Je suis le sujet principal du film documentaire humoristique Democracy 4 Dummies (2007), qui porte sur l’art de se présenter comme candidat dans un parti politique.
