The con aspect of tax write-off is offset by him being stuck with a lot of early adopter systems that don’t really work. I suspect his family would have been happier using 5$ thermostats that actually worked than such poorly implemented home automation.

LTT is like 95% entertainment 5% actually somewhat informative.



"Offset" for him, the money are still not going towards Canadian schools or healthcare or whatever.


OMG, a few thousand dollars is being deducted for a canadian business making money from mostly foreign countries, helping the trade balance, spending money in the canadian economy, hiring people who also pay taxes, promoting canada as a country and more, but they're ripping off canada because he dares have a few well documented tax deductions.


LTT needs to make a video either way. If he sets up home automation at his house or an artificial studio demo the same money is spent and not ending up going toward Canadian schools.

In terms of the deduction, I doubt he’s committing actual tax fraud if for no other reason than he’s so public a figure.
