I don't see how anyone could convince themselves that it's a positive thing to say publicly. He has to know it's highlighting an issue.

He mentions "turning Canada into the best place to invest." Higher taxes are definitely not a part of something like that. He mentioned the low taxes not as a problem but as "invest here and taxes will cut into your return on investment less than elsewhere."

Taxes are the only way companies invest in countries.

That is not remotely what he's doing. This is an investor pitch. He's telling people to come here because we have low taxes. It's genuinely not clear to me how you were able to read it any other way.

He literally says "We're capitalising on those strengths", referring to the previous list of items. He's directly and explicitly calling low taxes a strength, not an issue.
