  As an expert in the field, I can tell you that Canada's capital gains tax applies to profits made from trading cryptocurrencies. The Canadian government treats cryptocurrencies as a form of property, so any gains you make from selling or exchanging them are subject to taxation. The tax rate you'll pay depends on your income level and the length of time you held the cryptocurrency. If you held it for less than a year, it will be taxed at your regular income tax rate. If you held it for more than a year, it will be taxed at a lower rate. It's important to keep track of your transactions and report them accurately on your tax return to avoid any issues with the tax authorities.
