Blais v. Canada

The appellant could not claim the tool losses as business investment losses because he did not own shares or have qualifying debt in a small business corporation, tools are capital assets excluded from deduction under s.18(1)(b), and his moving expenses did not qualify as an eligible relocation under s.248(1)(d) because the move was less than 40 kilometres; the Tax Court’s findings were not tainted by palpable and overriding error and new constitutional arguments raised for the first time on appeal will not be entertained.
